First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise Use Multiquote, It Saves Nine

[aspen37]

I certainly hope you take the war somewhere else. You kids go outside and play

It's nice weather here today. I just got home from the gym and now I'm trying to drag DD out of the house to take my dog's for a walk. I don't want to jinx it but I think the real bad wintery conditions may be over for the year. Lets hope so!

It's going be 65 here today. Gonna send the monsters outside to play.

The sun has come out now. We are up to 22 degrees now.

With the Tables in Wonderland card, it can be used for up to 10 people dining together. I assume this is all on one check, paid for by the person with the card? I just wonder because if I were to get one, and say have it when we go eat somewhere, how could I share the savings?

We would have to give you cash for our part of the bill I guess.

We've reached $1,000 to GKTW from Muddy Buddy donations!!! WOOT!

WOW!

OT- had to VENT!!!! ugh so tired of work drama- family business no less. My boss' wife has inserted herself into things that fall under me (director of marketing) and the President (sales) and has been using the poor sales support woman as a go between to do stuff that isn't her job. THe sales support woman won't tell her no, she fears for her job of course and they are friends. So things are going on in marketing i don't know about. the new marketing coordinator is being basically shut out by the wife- not allowed to do anything. it's a mess. The president (sales) and my boss (CEO/owner) are brothers- the COO is their brother too. We agreed a way to function yesterday and the wife agreed, then today, she went back to the old ways, going around the marketing coordinator and not letting her do her job.

I finally spoke up. I've only been here 6 months, but the poor sales support woman was having to do crap that isn't her job and she won't speak up for herself, so i did. I am sure the boss' wife is pissed at me now. But it is what is best for the business. I don't want to rattle cages, but at the same time, i get yelled at by the Presidnet if i don't speak up, but fear the CEO (my boss) being pissed at me if i do, since it is his wife (she works from home and is supposed to only book hotels for travel, but is doing much more than that lately). Then the fact that they are brothers makes it worse, because they will argue it out. anyhow- it is a mess. i am not an aggressive person, i like to lay low, be the nice one that doesn't say much. but i just had to say something- i was tired of the drama. I wonder what the boss' wife will say to me now. she is an intimidating woman anyhow.

oh well, i think i did the right thing, speaking up for someone that couldn't/wouldn't say anything. I am sure I'll get reamed in some fashion for doing what is the right thing. oh well- it's just a job, not like we are doing surgery or sending rockets to the moon where someone might die , i am going to try and not stress too much about it.

Sorry you have to deal with so much drama at work!!

 

[maiziezoe]

no more posting until I get home! DH brought me to see Monsters vs Aliens

I'm leaving in 45 minutes to take the kids!!

 

[aspen37]

Don't go there Todd! For god's sake....don't go there!

Smart man!

Excuse me, his CLEAN shirts were hanging in the closet for him Thursday morning when he woke up. All nicely pressed. OK - that's a stretch. I just took them out of the dryer right away AND, I made him turkey and potatoes for supper last night. And, I volunteer about 20 hours a week, and he told me that I should get a job so at least that way I do something.

Oh man that would make me mad too.

 

[aspen37]

no, he probably won't be getting IT for a while!

And, me giving him the silent treatment = you need to say you're sorry.



You got that right. Not unless you can go through a pillow.

 

[aspen37]

Agreed. Alicia putting up with me and what I do for a job is tougher than me actually doing the job. Your DH must not have been thinking clearly. He should apologize.

 

[aspen37]

Liz are you applying to be another one of Don's wives?

I think I will remain mute on this subject. I want to keep my blood pressure down.

Sorry!

Don has an application process??!! Is he incorporated? How is the dental plan? I had know idea Puck was an entreprenour...............He's the ENRON of husbands!!!

You did the right thing. Sorry that you have to deal with this.

Often doing what's right is not the same as doing what's easy.



So you are giving your wives big bonuses?

 

[aspen37]

Am I all alone again?

[DVCsince02]

hi!

 

[exwdwcm]

I'm here Anna.

just back from lunch- i should have gone to the gym, but i had a burrito instead. makes sense, right? I might need the spanx/underarmor/spandex butt giggling preventer too after that.

when i left the CEO and President were having it out i think.

oh and my last expense check from business travel- guess what......it bounced and overdrafted my account. nice. definitely not good. oh well, i am going to be on a boat in how many days Todd?

 

[katscradle]

A purse is NOT pushing it.


Hey - 1500!

Hey Congrats Donna on 1500!

My DS5 asked me when we were in Costco to buy Monsters vs Aliens
for him. I laughed and had to explain that it isn't being sold in stores
yet. He just looked at me like

 

[Madi100]

OK, I'm back. Paul, I'm sorry. DH is not a jerk. I really, really love him. He's my best friend.

Lunch was fine. Not much talking until we got home. Sometimes opposites are great together. We bring out the best in each other. However, he's the type that says something, walks away, ignores it, and it's all better the next time we see each other. I'm the type that when someone hurts me, I want to see tears because you feel so badly. Obviously those two types don't go well together in conflict. Thank God we don't have conflict very oten.

So, for the rest of the day, I'm going to make myself just drop it and move on.
