    Sitting here in my office while everyone else is talking and laughing and enjoying the Halloween pot-luck, feeling awkward and uncomfortable and alone and different because I don't know how to do what they are doing... while being pressured to come be part of the group that I'll never really feel like I'm part of because it's all superficial office nonsense... just wanting desperately to be left alone but also wanting to feel wanted/important.

    The feelings are so strong but also so at odds with each other that I feel like I might explode, if such a thing were possible. Spontaneous emotional combustion?

    I'll put in my earbuds and put on a podcast and continue to do my work. At least I won't hear them...

    Buddyyyy I know this feeling. I got nothin’ on advice other than get real into small talk.

    I have this habit of going to the corner gas station for my pick me up diet soda and it's usually around the same time everyday. My boss says a client's coming in today at that time that I'm supposed to help.

    And @jjpptt2 I wish I had words of wisdom for you but you remind me of me so much right now. And I won't believe the mac & cheese was that good unless you send samples. A huge container of samples. :) (God, I love my carbs...and chocolate...and sugar. Suuuuuuure could use the protein of that pulled pork too, tho!)

    (I'd also be the annoying one trying to get you out there to socialize.)

    On my ONLY day off this week the neighbors on the opposite side of the building have been loudly arguing for about an hour now and maintenance is starting their leaf blowing which will last for another few hours. So much for catching up on rest 😤

    Aaaaaaand I apparently helped by standing around and being handed the checks the client wrote. :)

    Now, I'm irked I have a dilemma. A client just brought us food but....from a place I'm opposed to because the owner is homophobic. But...free food! What do I do????

    Edited to add: Not much of a dilemma anymore. I had some fries and tried the chicken sandwich he bought and MY GOD IS THAT SPICY!!!!! so I threw out the insides and ate the bun.

    Reedited for spelling/grammar: Threw! THREW!!! See how I can't take even a little bit of spicy??? :)

    Dang it. I found the perfect sherpa checked plaid jacket this a.m. that I came back to order just now and they've changed the whole dang website. Now I can't find it and not sure if going through a zillion pages is worth it or not. Must be a sign to save my money. But it's not often I buy anything new that hits me, ya know?

    I need to put this post on the senior moments thread. :/ I finally found what I was looking for. On an entirely different site. :s

    I guess 9yrs, 80,000.mi is all I’m going to get out of my original car battery, lol.
    It finally left me stranded.
    Luckily my son was nearby.

    I like to eat pepitas
    (roasted, salted pumpkin seeds).
    It has come to my attention that the last
    4 brands I looked at are processed and packaged in the US but the pumpkin seeds come from (of all places) CHINA.
    Why?
    Pumpkins grow almost everywhere.
    I won’t buy Chinese Pepitas. 😒

    Our brand new kitchen countertops' seam is lifting up. Why? Just why? I doubt it'll be an easy fix. :(

    In a way you're lucky it's happening right away. The company that put it in will have to replace it.

    I agree completely. But I just feel nothing is made as good as it used to be; something always needs to be fixed, even brand new. My sister bought a washing machine and she's had the most maddening time with it from day 1. I also bought a washing machine and could never use the hot cycle without it leaking. She also has a truck(not new)that she's tried 3-4 different mechanics to fix it and nobody has figured it out yet. :/ My iphone is only a year old and won't hold a charge. I had my flip phone for 12 years with zero issues.

    Yep, feeling irky today. :)

    That I can't bring my green tea latte in the office today. Why do they decide to enforce the policy today of all days?? 🙄

    because the danish investment group are visiting today and we will not have you twirling around the office and shouting "hallelujah!" incessantly... because that's what those foamy drinks make you do, mehshell!

    If someone looks like an adult but is trick or treating? Who does it hurt? No one.
    If someone isn’t wearing a costume? Or doesn’t say “Trick or Treat!” same thing.

    I've had some pretty big (as in adult-size) kids show up and they always have the BEST costumes. Usually they put a lot of effort into creating something, not just some premade costume off a rack. I admire effort.

    I'm pop-culturally illiterate so I never know who or what the little ones are portraying. Give me a nice generic vampire or zombie any day.
