Ugh I had a pretty up and down week at work. I'm currently working at 2 stores and both the bosses love me hahah and I ended up getting another manager in trouble for not doing his job right. That's 2 managers in 2 weeks now. If only they'd fire them. But that store is so quite all I ended up doing is thinking and it drains me so much I hate it0

Ugh I hate a slow shift when I'm now allowed to bring anything to keep myself entertained! I'm so glad I can bring just about whatever I want at my job.0

Went bra shopping on Wednesday and now I wish I hadn't.
I'm not 'deformed' or anything but I guess my size isn't very common. It's like, $75 MINIMUM for a bra in my size. I'm now restricted to certain brands and I kinda wanna cry about it(not that it will help anything).
However, I at least have a strapless bra for the maid of honor dress I have to wear for my sister's wedding in 12 days.
And I have a new sports bra.
I ordered some new bras online in my new size and I REALLY hope they fit me well because they're 'final sale' items and I didn't know that when I ordered.
*deep breath* Everything is gonna be fine...

I pretty much lucked into some great sports bras the last time I ordered some on sale from Lane Bryant. I haven't been brave enough to try to find a strapless bra in years.0

Boo. Had one going across the street, then the farmer started tilling the field next to and behind our house. Luckily I'd gone to bed early and had plenty of sleep. I hope he doesn't do anymore tilling tomorrow.
I bought bras Saturday too. I went up a band size although I'm not certain I was measured correctly last time. I was bummed but damn the new bars fit way better. Way more comfy sitting here at work. As for strapless bras, I'm not that brave lmao. I had to wear a corset for the last strapless dress I wore.
Now for a fitbit question: I'm part of a group of 911 dispatchers on FB who are working to get healthier. They post step counts of over 17000/day bc they walk in place at their consoles. I stand for several hours a shift and occasionally walk around my center. I know walking in place is moving and sitting for 12 hours a shift = death lol. But would it be worth it? Do you think it'd mess with the calorie burning since it's basically counting my arm swings and I'm not actually putting in the same effort I would be if walking?
Just curious what you guys think0 -

I walk in place at work and it's worth it. Fitbit and MFP are linked, Fitbit adjusts my calories, and I'm losing weight using my fitbit deficit.1 -
Yeah mine are linked too and I have enabled negative adjustments so it keeps me honest. I walked a couple extra thousand steps in three hours walking at my console so that will def be part of my routine.1

I have a FitBit One and it doesn't log pacing in a short space for some reason. I think it's because I have a long strride, but I don't really know. But if yours does, then I say go for it, it'll get you more food!0

Rant: If you've worked here for YEARS and I've been here for A YEAR then you should know FAR BETTER than I that certain buildings are NOT CONDUCIVE to radio traffic.
You can't keep calling in and holding up dispatch when you can get NOTHING out and you can't here them trying to talk to you! Get OUTSIDE the building unless there is a serious emergency, then you pull the panic alarm.
I mean FOR *kitten*'S SAKE! I can't listen to this all night!
ETA: I'm cranky and VERY tired.
Thank goodness it's my Friday.1 -
I am feeling SO stabby that I'm about to exhibit some of the behaviors of concern that we just had training about....0

I'm swing shifting now, noon to midnight. I got home an hour ago and finished dinner a few minutes ago.0

Swing shift is tough in some ways, too. Like, for instance, if you wanna have a social life! (Not that any of us do, except @lilaclovebird ).0

I totally would love a social life sometimes. But I'm beginning to figure out that my idea of being 'social' is laying on a couch/bed with a friend and eating until we both fall into food comas.... *shrug*0 -
Hey that sounds like a good time to me! And I really meant you're the only that actually has a social life!0
-
What's this social life you speak of? lol0
-
I'm not sure, but I like @lilaclovebird 's idea!0
