Now
this I've got to see!
I have 2 suitcases that are 29", and at least 3 that are 24". And 3 21" carry-ons. And 2 backpacks and my Magic Bag. Those will get us to WDW, then we'll check one of the carry-ons and carry on the souvenir duffle coming home. And I will be prepared to pay $25 each for the big bags to be over the weight limit. It'll be fine.
Somehow you have to use that little globey-paperclip thingy.
Glad that step-by-step instruction was helpful, Elin!
It's not so much the amount of things that are asked for as it is the way people ask. Even my preschoolers know that if you want someone to do something for you, you had better remember your PLEASE and THANK YOU. Then there are the ones that you spend days working with making changes, correcting colors, etc., and, not only do you not get a thank you, but you also see a request on the board for the exact things that you have done for them. If you don't like my style/designs, that is fine, but don't start with a request for something with purple lettering then have me change it to blue because the boys won't wear purple then change it to green because someone else doesn't like blue and then decide to ask another designer for the same shirt. I want people to be happy, so I really don't mind making changes if the design is actually going to be used. And then the THANK YOU should be said.
Guess I'm a bit of a witch today, huh? The other designers are obviously much, much nicer and much, much more patient than I am.
Princess knows to say please and thank you. In the car today she even said "Bless you" when I sneezed. I try to remember to always say please and thank you to her, too.
I think that some of the requests are just disrespectful. Some people obviously don't take into consideration that the designers are PEOPLE who have lives and families and other commitments outside of dong Disney shirts for other people!
It irritates me, even though I don't design.
I probably would have been as well, but really I think the correct response was the one that Janet made. It's just so hard, because one bad grade can really matter when it comes to the report card grades.
I agree that Janet did the right thing, but it's a pretty safe bet that I will never do that!
DS had a substitute in Science today so his "0" paper didn't get turned in.
I SWEAR that teacher is out a minimum of once every week. I need a job like that.
I hope that Rachel has a fantastic birthday party! It sure sounds like a lot of fun.
Good luck getting it all together, Tia!
I am sure that I forget sometimes, too, so I shouldn't be such a witch. There isn't anyone that posts in here that I would ever feel that they didn't appreciate something, though.
I don't know why I'm so grumpy right now. It's not time for PMS. I have to admit that I was a inappropriately grumpy and even a tad bit rude this morning at preschool. Our classes start at 9:15 am. I can't get Miles to school before 8:40 am, and I have a 15 minute drive to the preschool. Fortunately, I have a wonderful co-teacher that understands and does much of the set-up work while I take more of the clean-up. Today I arrived at 8:55 am to find two families already there!
My co-teacher and I still had set-up to do and things to discuss that really needed to be a bit private. I am sure that my feelings were more evident than they should have been. We told the families that they had to be responsible for their children until closer to 9:15, but they were still there while we were trying to prep and talk.
At Princess's school if you arrive early you aren't allowed to drop off your child. You have to sit in the office and look at books with your child until it is time to drop off. Brother & Sister dropped off in a carpool line, which was due to construction at the synagogue but it was actually lovely. When DS was little I had a charge his same age so we were never early for anything.
Can I just tell you all what a wonderful man I have found. Bob showed up at my work today (lucky for him I was in my office; well, maybe lucky for me) with flowers and a card, wanting to take me out to lunch. Tomorrow it's officially one year.
Tammi, I am so happy for you!
I can't tell you how glad I am that Bob isn't some loser slimeball!
I was really worried when you started dating, but it seems like you have found the best possible outcome!
Can it be at WDW and can we all be invited?
