Another day, another dollar
Jun. 12th, 2009 08:32 pmFirst and foremost, my thoughts are with you. I hope you're holding up. I know how busy you are, I know all the things that have to be taken care of and above all, I know you're too busy to be online right now. But I just want you to know your absence is felt deeply. I miss you, my friend and I hope you're okay. ~bumps~
And then, five things make a post:
- They laid off 100 more folks from my office on Wednesday, and my new manager called a team meeting, the first of its kind since my previous manager was converted from a full time employee to an outside contractor. At 4pm. On the day they laid off 100 people. I had a minor freak out. Turned out it was for nothing. Oh except no one knows if I have a job come the first of July. :|
- My cough lingers, mostly because I haven't been sleeping. Turns out months of constant low grade stress is not healthy for a body. Who knew?
- I bought yarn! And circular needles! And the yarn got here but the needles haven't yet. I will do the sock thing before the year is done if it kills me.
- I also got new Threadless shirts. Yay $5 tshirts! (Shelf Life x2, Odd But Cute x2, & I Can't Draw, for those of you keeping score at home. This balances out the insane full price I paid for Ode To Joy x2. Yes, I can quit anytime I want.)
- I also got my soap order from Villainess.net. Mmmmm soap. Beautiful packaging, smells fantastic, reasonable prices for boutique soap, one of those things I love, free samples. I have yet to test drive, so when I do, I'll let you know. BPAL may have a competitor in my online shopping roster.
Bonus question: How do you decide when to do OOMs? Should I be doing OOMs for Olga, who I haven't tagged in with in forever? How about Earl? What about River's margin quotes? Does anybody read those things? Tell me your philosophy on OOMs. Inquiring minds want to know.
