I know the feeling. They're calling for up to 2ft here and I work night shift tomorrow.
Good I'll have company ;-) working 2pm to 6am0 -
We are warming up here. We got up to 40 degrees today. That really bites. Now the avalanche hazard is going to be pretty high. It is nice having the ice off the roads again.

what history and this sounds extremely entertaining. seriously.0 -
American History Since 1877. Primarily centered around the Labor Movement.0

Well, as much as I would like to, I'm dying for pizza and can't get my mind off it. It would sound like "In 1877 when the Wig movement was at it's hight, they order pizza for every worker in the factory. The labor bosses said they couldn't eat pizza on the job. The works revolted and went out for pizza to lucky strike pizzaria. And that's how they became known as strikes. "0

Just this morning a guy behind me put himself in a ditch because he was coming up behind me too fast and when he his brakes he started sliding, so had to steer himself off the road.I had a guy following me last year during a blizzard. I was doing forty, which was faster than maybe I should have been doing but I was comfortable, in the right lane of the highway. Some *kitten* in a Kia got behind me and started flashing me. Moron, I'm sure he was trying to end up in a ditch too.
We call that "job security" in my line of work.
Me too lol
Me three!
Also, if we get snow...I KNOW they'll call me in for OT because I can walk to work and be here in less than 20 mins!

Allo! So I had an interview for a warehouse position (this place hires anyone) and it went fine. They wanted someone to start Mon, which I gotta give my current employer 2 weeks notice so I couldn't but it sounds like next time they get something that they will know about 2 weeks in advance, I'll get a call. They have an on site sliding scale fee daycare so that will be cool during summer/holiday breaks. Normally 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. so that works but my days off would be Sat/Sun and my fiance Wed/Thu but it is what it is. Also starts off at a lower wage than I make now but I do only work 4 days a week so it about breaks even. Good thing is that after two weeks with the company, you can move to different (better paying) positions. I had to interview as a normal person so I put my "transformation" in my pics on here if you are interested...a pic of me normally nest to my interview look. Also check out the gold sparkly dress I found at Goodwill for $5.88! Hubba hubba! I can't wait to wear that thing to a show in February! Thank YOU digestive problems for the weight loss that allowed me to fit in that puppy! The last two pics are the two I just mentioned...fyi.
Also...tater tot started Broadway and wants to go everyday now. Imagine that. And on Wednesday we received a note written in her assignment notebook about how she brings joy to the teachers and make them laugh with her "comments and expressions". She is such a little ham. AND she got moved up to a D level reading...which means 1st grade level. Her goal was to get to C by the end of kindergarten. Watch out! This kid is gonna make a place for herself someday!

I will do it for tacos.
I swear, I haven't lost any weight since I've started weight lifting and I really want to blame the tacos. I have had 2 homemade tacos every day since Tuesday and on Wednesday I had 4....
My weight lifting thread peeps tell me not to worry as long as I am accurately weighing/measuring and staying within calories and drinking lots of water(still working on that).
Scale is a stupid thing anyway because my leggings are fitting better than ever.0 -

You look great! Also, I sent you a Friend Request. Since you're soon to abandon night shifts, I gotta keep up with you some how.
That dress is gorgeous btw. I'm hoping to find something equally as cute(and hopefully as cheap) if I do anything for my birthday on the 9th...I'll be 27! YAY!0 -

@Frankie_Felinius -that dress is fabulous!0

I wish the pic did it justice! It is so sparkly. It does shed the sparkles though so it is all over our floors! Oh well. It is a total bombshell dress!0

The problem with that is I'm likely to eat any and all tacos that I make before I have the chance to give them away! So, maybe if you came over and helped me fix them, you'd at least have a fighting chance!0 -

Paychecks didn't come in...again. How is that possible?? How does the company we work for have a whole department for payroll yet we don't get our checks on time?
I'm debating putting in my resume for an assistant general manager at a new hotel being built. I really don't want to stay in hospitality but the real kicker is that I know my boss wants to apply for the GM position! Sheesh...
@lilaclovebird Once I'm off graveyard shift...I won't be on here at all. I don't really use mfp for weight loss anymore (since the "effed up guts diet" is working so well for me)...just something to do on boring nights. If you reeeeally want to see my face...you'll have to get Instaaaagraaaaam! (But trust me...it is a lot of my face...soooo)0 -

It's not that bad. I follow a few MFPeeps but mostly celebrities. I also occasionally post about 2 to 3 pics a month.0 -
Yay! It is fun. You only see what you choose to see, really. I see tattoos, curvy ladies, curvy ladies with tattoos, half nekkid ladies, curvy half nekkid tattooed ladies...wait. (JK...I tell ya...following broads whose bods look real and sexy...has done wonders for my self esteem...I choose to see that and it reinforces that mentality...social media can be a good thing.) I also see makeup, science-y stuff, celebrities I like, beer. Stuff I like and nothing I don't! And since it is pics...people can't get too preachy. Sometimes in the description part they can but then just choose not to see their shizz anymore!

My staff would mutiny if the paychecks didn't arrive on time. We do direct deposit. It keeps that from happening.0 -
Direct deposit always good.
Hundred and twenty miles round trip in this mess and I must be at work or face discipline. Anyone awake to wish me luck? Lol0 -
-
Before the current owners bought us two years ago, we did have direct deposit and it was awesome. This company doesn't give us the option...and this is why. This happens every other month or so. Effed up bullshizz. If I don't come to work, I don't get paid...yet I can come to work and not get paid? (If me accepting that immediate opening wouldn't have effed the other FD people's lives temporarily, I'd have taken it...eff this place.)
Tonight we have a lobby full of drinking parents letting their little ones run around. #1. Why do you think this is acceptable? #2 Do you know how many rooms a weirdo could pull your kid into in two seconds?? Or do you think about us being right next to a higway that can get someone pretty far before you even realize your kid is gone? It baffles me how people feel like kids are safe at places like hotels. To me it is the exact opposite!

Lovely pix.
We back country ski in our part of the Larch Hills, another name for tamarack. There is also a slightly developed trackset area here too with a lovely little chalet, several cabins/shelters and also snowshoe trails. We just hosted a Heart & Stroke Fund Loppet last weekend. http://skilarchhills.ca/
