Do it yourself (DIY) art
 

Hi,

I saw this picture on Facebook.
With different colored items like red beans and green lentils, it would make a nice decoration for Christmas in my office or at home. I almost think I could do something like this.
(People I know like Christmas much better than Halloween.)
I might make the cleaning lady help me with this next moth. Ha. That way I can be sure to complete the project.
===
Oh, and I have enough sense to FREEZE the items as soon as I buy them so that weevils do not grow in the jar -- that would be gross and the wrong idea of a pleasing decorative item.

I walked out of a meeting and it was not pretty
 

Hi,


Here is how things went:
In a meeting, the bossed announced a stupid bad thing.

~I spoke up. I was semi polite.

Boss said nothing. She kind of nodded and shook her head at the same time.
She asked if I had alternatives.

~I reminded her of past meetings in which the alternatives had been discussed and settled.

Then the boss said something else about the bad thing.

~I got up and walked to the door.

Boss said I need people to stay.

~I said, "I gotta go. I'm sorry."


I am concerned that this is becoming a pattern between her and me.
Also I wish that I could get up and leave a meeting whenever I want. That seems like the best thing for me to do some days.

I wish your boss listened to you.
sorry for the negative exchange.

I am exhausted and depressed.
I am going to take part of the day off.

M

taking some time off sounds like a good idea.

:Sinking:

I am soooooooo worn out. :icon_sad: :boy(sad): :( :(
I wish I could go to bed.

M

bizi:hug:

Hi, Bizi,

I skipped the first part of the day so I slept a total of seven.

Then I went to my night class.

Late Wednesday afternoon, one of my colleagues APPLAUDED me in the hall for leaving the meeting Tuesday even after I had been told to stay.

He even remembered an obnoxious aside I said.
Someone in the meeting had said something like,"To make a long story short, . . .

~I had interrupted by saying, "Too late."

( That colleague and the boss have a years-long feud.:mf_swordfight: )
I think I might have been obnoxious. :Head-Spin:

It is hard to be polite when I do not feel good.
M

i think you were cool!
