Random thoughts III

Well, realize I am an old lady before you mock what I would do besides read on the beach.:smile: My dad was stationed at Schofield Barracks during WW II so I might see if they give any tours.

Fishing and drinking wine is always good for me.

I like to do jigsaw puzzles outside.

I don't know how exciting Schofield would be (I've done job fairs there) but in honor of Memorial Day, what if I did Pearl Harbor?
 
Actually, the VS ones are the ones she wears most often. She's not much for the really tight ones. I might look at the nike ones more, but at this point, I'm hesitant to buy her more. I don't want to give her a complex that she's not making me happy or something. I did make sure to point out the rack of ISU yoga pants and running shorts at University Book Store on Saturday.

The nike version also comes in a looser fit if that is more mrs 00s thing, and I'm with cg on the vs pants. I actually sold most of mine to platos closet, but I also had the issue of them being too short.
 
Just the 'given permission' 'if all our work is done' sounded funny...I'd think setting your work hours would be up to you anytime...and I realize it probably wasn't exactly as you put it, but it just struck me as funny. I'm pretty sure I could take a half day off at anytime for no reason as long as my work was done or I made arrangements for coverage, and I'm just a college educated minion at this point.

:wink:

My immediate superior may be way in Vegas, but that doesn't make him any less of a micro-manager.

I thought maybe you had been there a bunch. My dad had a love-hate with Hawaii. He hadn't been shipped out of there when he found out his brother, who was in the Navy, had died, but they wouldn't let him go to the funeral in Iowa. But it was the last decent food he had for the next nearly four years. And he would see Hawaii on television 50 years later and would assume he would know his way around and things would be pretty much the same.:spinny:

My goodness pants, she's perfect!!!! You know that was her subtle new girl way of jumping in on the "CG's short" jokes.

Oh, and Pants, just to further illustrate work hour flexibility...today when I got in, I sent an e-mail to my bosses and peers saying that I'd be gone for a few hours tomorrow night and Friday night for my oldest's preschool graduation and his first T-Ball game. Got a response back saying that it was good that I was doing this stuff, and that my peers had it covered, and since we're having the discussion, I'm going to leave as soon as I can let my co-worker know.

I look dumb in yoga pants because I am old and have small hips and they are never long enough. But I do yoga. So I just wear gym trunks my sons have outgrown.:embarrassed:

My boss's boss calls at 10 PM at night because he's got questions about our real-time metrics that are automated and accessible remotely. That's a micromanager. A person who dictates a district manager's hours is a control freak.

00, that's what I'm telling you! I just need to somehow convince her to want to come to Hawaii for a long Memorial Day weekend.

Well, I come and go as I please for the most part, at least in the off season. It's just we've been given the green light. Remember, I'm salaried but only working about 25 hours a week as is right now.

But DURING the season, EVERY day, 7 days a week, we had an hour long conference call at 5am my time to go over everyone's numbers. It was ******* ridiculous.

Next year, start every conference call with "You know, it's really inconvenient for me to get up this early just to tell you all how I'm kicking your ***es"
 
Personally, I think Ice Cube said it best when he said "See, I'm a menace to society, but girls in biker shorts are so fly to me". (of note, that may be one of the longest CF allowable NWA quotes in the world)

I love how Eazy and Ice Cube are the only two NWA members anyone knows.
