I am glad today is Sunday, a new week is starting and that means the misery of the past week is over. This week will be better.
Went to pick up a few groceries and there was an older gentleman sitting at a table outside the Giant with Veterans Day Poppys and a donation bucket. He was greeting everyone coming in/out of the store. Almost No One greeted him in return. Really people. I get that a lot of people donât carry cash anymore (it was one of the rare days that I did) but not to even acknowledge him???
I really think we can do better than that.
My daughter got engaged to a wonderful man and itâs so great to see her happy after the unexpected divorce 2 years ago. I had to sit on this news until she told her congregation, but things really DO work out a lot of the time. Not always- but often!
Calling the department head because you are upset about your COLLEGE studentâs grade is totally over the top. Advocating for other parents to do the same is just ridiculous! And, you do realize that lots of students are managing to do well in the class, right?
I hate stupid people who canât help you even though it is their job to do that. Rather than find a work around, they delight in standing their smugly, âcanât do itâ.
You just lost a great deal of the respect I had for you.
I wasnât born knowing how to use a database, and I donât work there anymore. Do what I did - Google it.
I didnât get a fortune in my fortune cookie. Not sure what that is a sign for?!?
I really donât enjoy interacting with people any more. I could be a hermit so, so easily.
Today Iâm thankful for my cc president and the VP for operations who decided to close campus. In the last 3 years they have shown an attitude that errs on the side of closing campus when it sometimes looks like we could have made it (our old administration wouldnât have even considered closing). I live nearby and could have made it to school as roads are relatively clear, but with some slick spots of black ice. Low temps mean that ice wonât be melting and there will be treacherous spots on parking lots and sidewalks. Likewise on less traveled roads that may be used by students who travel up to 1 hour to get to school. Local area K12 schools are canceled, so most of my non-traditional students would be unable to attend due to lack of childcare. Itâs just so much better to be closed. Of course, thatâs easy for me to say since I was one class ahead in my Tuesday/Thursday section;)
I guess itâs a good thing in 1980 I didnât know how tough it was supposed to be for a woman to study engineering or I would have been petrified! If parents imply thatâs the situation to their daughters, no wonder they struggle.
Iâm sure it fits your message to talk about people whoâve worked somewhere 30 years or more and how they are so resistant to change and going to be a major problem with implementing change. But take a minute to stop and think about how much change people whoâve worked here 30 years have experienced and adapted to over the past 30 years. Letâs begin with the phone in my pocket.
Itâs not healthy to live in a state of perpetual outrage.
My fingers are itching to out you. You are perfect example of how misleading social media can be. In your perfect â ready for the dayâ post using a picture that must be 5 years old and doesnât show the alcoholic wreck youâve become. Sad. People are complimenting your look and IRL you canât walk across the room. Your actions and decisions are still hurting my niece, nephew and brother. But your very old profile pic is cute.
Hey millenial! When you are part of a social network, itâs appropriate and courteous to give back and not just take. Thatâs what makes a community- for better or worse. Donât just show up to get what YOU want. Be a partner.
I love you but you drive me crazy. I donât think you understand that driving with an expired license is not smart. I know you canât get an appointment for months and you are busy at work. Youâre just going to have to go to the DMV and sit and wait.
Iâm saying it here because Iâve reminded you multiple times, your wife has reminded you. Itâs hard letting you be a grown up.
On the other hand Iâm proud of all your work accomplishments. I donât understand half of what you tell me but I can see your excitement.
Waiting to hear about vet school acceptances is H***! Even when it is for my S not me!
I am so over being in pain, but I resolved from the beginning not to whine to my friends. Itâs such a #@% boring topic that even Iâm sick of thinking about it. I get credit for being stoic but thatâs not it. I just donât want to be that tiresome person no one really wants to be around. Fun me is so much better!
Boy, that thread sure went south quickly!
The zombie apocalypse has arrived.
