Jumping in here and looking forward to a fabulous sober weekend (the 1st of many I hope).

OMG, it's Thursday already?
This time of year things get a little blurry when you're in the tax biz.
Way better than the blurriness I used to have all the time, though. This is a good blurry. :)

Welcome to the weekenders shenzyt. Thanks for the new thread Dee.

It's Daughters sweet 19th birthday this weekend. She want's italian but can't decide at which restaruant.

My life has been a message: DON'T DO IT THIS WAY!!!!!!

So, take her to the Chinese buffet.

:D

Even though I'm sick, with a very bad cold, I'm looking forward to a sober and sneezy weekend! ;)

I’m in. Gilmer...wHAT are you doing up at 3;20am to get shotgun??

Im out traveling on business. Back home late tonight. Feel a little wobbly thinking of the hours I will spend alone in the airport before my flight. I havent had that feeling in some time. Kind of woke up in the hotel this morning feeling unsettled after a poor sleep. I’ll be fine after some coffee and a shower. But I will stick close to SR this evening, at that danged airport!

Trach, your life is also the message...”HERE IS HOW TO GET BACK ON TRACK!”

Chinese buffet! :lmao

I am in!

Hi, weekenders.

Thank you for the thread, Dee.

Congrats on shotgun, Gilmer!

Not sure yet what's my life message. I'll think about it.

Have a great day, everyone)

Wow! Thursday and it's February too. Apart from New Years Day I have not eaten any meat so far which I will continue at least until the weekend.

Good to see you BixBees.

Have a grrreat weekend everybody.

I’m in! There’s no where else I’d rather spend my weekend.

Thanks Dee for the awesome quote.

In.

Bix! Where did you go?

I got nothin'. Just took my first sip of coffee and I'm determined to NOT spend more than an hour online today. Send me your strong thoughts and prayers. It's a problem now.

Hey! There's pasta there: lo mein!

Hello again. :)

Hope your cold gets better love....sober weekend sounds kind of awesome people, just saying. :)

:grouphug:

PS. 9 days till my birthday. First ever sober birthday with a sober partner/husband....first ever birthday with a husband. :) We are going to Charleston for 4 days and staying on the harbour.

Thoughts, prayers and love. And hugs too because you are kind of wonderful :hug: ♥♥♥♥

Charleston sounds fantastic. I guess it should be reasonably warm there too.

Yes....!!!! :) :) I am getting excited. ♥

Venus cat, that sounds like an incredible birthday in the making.....
Hope everyone finds a safe harbour this weekend.
Thank you for the opening Dee.

Thanks D.
Looking forward to a sober weekend.
Good evening weekenders.

Good to see you Vman.

Hi, Vman!

Good to see you Vman! I will be paying a visit to Paris in about a fortnight for work.

Yesterday evening it was very quiet out - typical Wednesday in January. This evening it is many times busier. Of course Thursdays are a bit busier most weeks but I suppose a lot of people are enjoying the end of dry January. I suppose at least it's good they stopped for a month, not something I ever did when I was drinking.

Hey friends,

I hope you are all keeping well. I’ve been having an extremely hard time at work. I got dragged into my line managers office last October and she said that there was a complaint against me as I wasn’t being helpful enough to other people but I tried to explain at the time that I was swamped with work as it was. But she didn’t believe me. So this week one of my colleagues went to our line manager to ask for help with some things which was refused. So then we all got dragged up to her office for a “meeting” which lasted over an hour. Our line manager said she had been in work “doing research” until 8 PM the previous night and what she discovered “shocked” her. So she said “out of the 5 of you Tetra has the heaviest work load by far. In 2017 alone she typed and sent out almost 3000 letters”.

Now I did explain that my consultant goes to another hospital every second Monday and the secretary there does that typing. So she asked “how many days is that?” So I said it’s roughly about 2 days a month which equals roughly about 80 letters a month”. So she said “that eases my concerns some what but even so you are still head and shoulders above the others when it comes to the work load”. I also told her that every letter my consultant gets, every single CT scan report that comes back - he asks for “notes please” which means that I was in medical records in the basement last Monday pulling some thing like 30 charts. She did say “yeah I can see how that would be time consuming”.

I tried to explain this last October when I got dragged into the kangaroo court to explain why I wasn’t helpful enough toward others. It’s nice to be believed finally.

She also said that since I’m only a grade III and every one else in the office is grade IV that she is pulling me off bed management from next week on going forward.

It was music to my ears and it’s a real weight off my shoulders. At last I can relax.

And I hope things are going well for all of you.

Huge congratulations, Tetra!

That's great news Tetra!

Glad you were recognized for great work Tetra!!

Hi all. Hanging at the airport now, waiting for a flight 3 hours from now. Sigh...I still feel a bit wobbly and still plan to hang out here until I board. Will probably read a book I have on my device, maybe watch a video.

Bim...just one city away by plane, for biz. This was a short 2-day trip.

Thx for the greeting, Sao!

Good to be here.

Way to kill it Tetra!

In a similar vein, I was frustrated with a machine at work today so I left early and made a sales call.

Nailed it in one visit. Biggest frame shop chain in town is now our customer.

BAM!
