I struggle with food sabotage at work. Last night a co-worker brought in yogurt covered pretzels. I was pretty good but still ate about 8 or 10 pretzels. I had a little down time and that's when I weaken.
Watching a crazy thunderstorm right now in Indy--it has been storming all night.

I kid my fiance about this kind of thing. He has never struggled with weight. I inform him when I'm eating better and to not let me slip. But if I say, "Let's get a pizza" or "Let's get some ice cream"...he always says ok! He just feels terrible about policing me...even if I ASK him to. Oh well...at least I get to eat pizza and he has loved me through thick and thin...and thick...and thin...and thick. lol

Just has a bloat come in. Very nice people. The dog can be a bit of a fear biter at the vets office but they were up front about it and even brought their own muzzle. I love clients that try to protect my staff. I will bend over backwards for them. The dog is doing well. I hope I can keep him corrected through the night.

I just don't like being called stupid and have someone accuse others of something absurd. I don't mind taking constructive criticism at all. Had he said something along the line of I had trouble with eating junk food and here's how I overcame it, that's cool. Anyways...lol

My fiancé had to take our 2 dogs into the vet yesterday for shots. We're boarding them when we go on vacation and apparently our one dog didn't want anything to do with it. Never had an issue before today. Had to muzzle the poor guy and take him in the back. Next time, the dogs go separately!

here ya go guys, sunrise over Brooklyn this morning...

It should be easy enough to find a job for you @Frankie_Felinius. You seem smart, experienced, willing to work nights, more than capable of handling the bullsmurf people throw at you.
I would think most places would be pretty lenient when it comes to appearance nowadays. Especially if you're going to continue working nights.

@jennifer_417 What does a night auditor do exactly?

Well, thanks. I used to work in a tattoo shop and I'd love to do that again. I was in line to be shop manager but the owner and I just couldn't work together. He was flighty, let employees walk all over him, everything was "later"...I'm so not that kind of manager, let alone person in general. I loved the job (and I could look however I wanted to) so it was really tough quitting. Even if I don't find another job like that, places are more lenient nowadays, you're right...especially if you have a good work history...and if they don't...I can fool 'em to thinking I'm "normal"...at least while I'm on the clock.


We auditors basically run the paperwork for the night, make sure all the numbers are correct, nothing is out of balance, fix others mistakes. Booooring.

Well it has to beat watching a campus at night waiting for alarms to go off, that never go off or for people to do something wrong, when there are no people here. What the hell am I supposed to do all night? Enforce the rules on the deer?!

It is my Friday! Tater tot is going to gramma's tonight so....bike ride! (If it doesn't rain-It has been raining for weeks and weeks). I better ride long and hard because the county fair is this week! (Again, rain, please stop so we can go!) Speaking of processed junk food...one of my favorite foods...corn dogs! I only eat them once or twice a year when the fair comes but man, I love 'em...especially when they are the size of my arm. I'm not a hot dog person, maybe eat one or two a year at some kids' event or something...but slather that b@*#h in cornmeal batter and fry it...I'm so in. Caramel apples, taffy, lemon shake-ups, cotton candy, funnel cake...oh man...

Also, goats! I LOVE goats! I could spend allll daaaay with the goats. And alpacas. But especially goats. When a baby goat "aa-aa-aaahs" with that funny little tongue...I melt.

I also have my gastro appt this week...after the fair. Ish. That isn't going to look good if I have to divulge my diet the days prior. Also another shrink appt. This Italian hippie shrink fixed my fiance, his dad and his dad's gf's mom...we'll see if she can work her hippie magic on me now. I'm a tougher case than those 3 combined so I wish us luck...

I wish you bunches of luck with the 'hippie shrink' as well as with maintaining moderation with the fair foods.
Our neighbor to the South has a bunch of goats that just had kids. My dog freaks out when they make noise. She goes, what I call, 'Full Batface.' Where her ears pop up and she looks just like a flying fox!

Something like this: *looks at you* *rolls eyes* *continues eating*

I have just over 2 hrs to go. My partner and I are watching cheesy scary 80's movies. It's awesome!

Im massively jealous. Yall get to watch stuff at your center? We cant have electronics out and the tvs in the room are to monitor the bldg and for news only.

I have Cable, Internet and a boat load of movies on my computer in my office. Nothing out on the treatment floor.

YouTube and books on Sgt. Sexy Pants' kindle. Keeps the brain going. just found out I'm getting close to 20 hours of overtime next week. Which is good because all the money I 'saved' I ended up spending...

My poor money management habits. But I figured out a solution for myself so when I get this overtime fluffed check it should be kind of nice.

FYI - I am so wrapped around my daughters finger. My little pony comes up first on suggestions from Amazon.

We're in the middle of a cad station update which is painful lol. Not so much for us but our guy doesn't have the admin password to our work stations. Oops!

And I have a love/hate relationship with Amazon. I'm trying to stay off of there today!

What goes on here, is this for insomiacs?

It used to be if you worked a whole bunch of hours, you didn't have time to spend the money. Now thanks to Amazon, I can buy almost anything, right from my desk.

Hahaha! That is both the blessing and curse of Amazon! And that 1-click key...let's just say I disabled mine. It should never be that easy to spend money!
