Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

I was tempted to take some boozy egg-nog to work during christmas.
Then I thought about my brother's life.
You might not've.
Turns out when you drink enough, your consciousness keeps right on going (though impaired), but your brain just stops recording any of it.

Long ass crazy day. My brain is full and I don't think I can stay awake any longer. Where are you Pizza Hut??[DOUBLEPOST=1453860610,1453860506][/DOUBLEPOST]I ate a dainty little salad at lunch in front of business associates and I'm about to eat the fancy pillows here if pizza doesn't arrive soon. I even have a champagne bucket keeping some Diet Coke cold.
I think my boss would be so much easier to live with if she traveled with a bun-bear.

My job has accepted my resignation. I have substance abuse counseling on Thursday. And I haven't touched anything since "that day." I know it's not a long time, but it's longer than I had gone in a while. I hadn't known helplessness like I've felt the last month or so, and I refuse to let it engulf me further. I have to get better. I will get better.
It may end up being better in the long run, I had wanted out of there for a long time. Despite currently being unemployed I feel like a huge weight is off my shoulders.
Anonymous'd for obvious, but I'd guess it's not a secret for at least a few here who this is.

Good luck, cheri. I believe in you also.
I'm not 100% certain, but that doesn't really matter.
Here's to a speedy recovery.

Best luck to you Anon! Be well.
Did he at least have the common decency to fall over? Each of my deer strikes, the damn thing jumped up and ran away...
EDIT: I see he didn't.
Hugs your way.He was a very rude deer.Did he at least have the common decency to fall over? Each of my deer strikes, the damn thing jumped up and ran away...

Provincial insurance has assessed my car and recommended that it be written off, so I'm going vehicle shopping this weekend.
I have done everything I can to be nice and kind and friendly to my new boss this week. We are travelling together this week just the two of us. No matter what I say or do, she is straight up rude. Remarks on what I eat, asks about my health and then later lets me know that "a plant based diet is her pain meds", judgement on the fact that we don't force our kids into camping trips they don't want to do and a full lecture that letting my kids believe in Santa diminishes the life and sacrifices of Jesus. For real and even after I said that I'm not religious and that Christmas is a family time holiday for us. This is all in addition to her trying to force me to do my retired director's job but not letting me act. She also second guessed most of the questions I asked our client but even more disturbingly, passed on all the hard questions to me. She should know this crap.
She needs a clue and a personality transplant. I understand that I'm not everyone's cup of tea, but I am a friendly person and I have never had anyone be so cold.
For our next trip together, I'm not even going to bother to include her in dinner or non work conversations.

In comparison, last year's new boss was so nice to me after the first of these visits. He deferred to my considerable experience. If there was something that he wondered about, he asked me after when it was just us. He made a point of thanking me for sharing my knowledge, taking the lead on the visit because he was new and we got to know each other really well. We left the visit on a great note and he gave me a hug and said thank you.[DOUBLEPOST=1453962807,1453962772][/DOUBLEPOST]
Oh and she doesn't like cats. Wtf.
I'm in!
Oh and she doesn't like cats. Wtf.
I know right? I found that more offensive than the health remarks.
Have you tried introducing her to me?
What a shit-trash.

Wow, for real?
My little sister was super religious, and refused to do the Santa thing. At least, that's the story I always heard until this past christmas. She's also notoriously lazy, and I heard the rumor from my brother that the real reason she didn't do Santa was because it was too much work.
Well, santa is an anagram for satan. They're both red. They both know if you've been naughty or nice. They both have magical powers.
@Squidleybits your boss sounds very insecure, and possibly threatened by you. Wish I had a solution for ya.

I know this is minor in the scheme of things but...
I've pretty much reached my breaking point for this week. I'm running 5 scholarship competitions in my current position and I'm just staying above water covering the Dean's Assistant position. People aren't listening. They're being idiots. They think their emergencies are my emergencies (haha, no) and that I should drop everything I'm working on to cater to their problems, which are of their own making because they wait until the last minute to submit paperwork. The only things keeping me from walking out is that I really do like my job and it's almost the weekend.
I'm going to start drinking.

Better teach the doomies to start greeting you at the door with a drink. Would you like your "Marten-ni" shaken or stirred?
Want me to fly up there and be your assistant?
You recommend that for *everything*.
You, uh, know it's winter up there, right? You would be earning so many hugs if you braved that to help her.
You know, the stores here sell winter clothes. It's 85 degrees and you can get fleece jackets, thermals, gloves, etc. at Target.
I hate that here. It is bloody 75 degrees outside and I cant find a short sleeved dress shirt or a pair of shorts in the stores. It is worse because the stores start stocking sweaters in August. 102 in the shade and no swimwear.
I read that as "assassin" and was like "Hell, yeah!"
Would you consider being an assassin? You would get your own doomweasel as a cheeky sidekick.[DOUBLEPOST=1454085077,1454084963][/DOUBLEPOST]
OK, people, the only thing keeping you alive is the fact that it's Friday. Let's keep the stupid questions and inane commentary to a minimum, shall we?
I'm sure you already know, but I'm not talking about Halforumites. I love you guys and gals way too much.
Ah, shmucks. We tolerate you too Stefaney.
