shrader Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 My wife has those same 2 weeks as of right now. I'm working Monday, but I'm taking the rest as vacation as well. I was going to take monday too, but we have a Christmas lunch for my main project group that day and you better believe I'm showing up for the free lunch. The timing of this break could not be any better. We have a pain in the ass project ongoing right now that is about to reach a breaking point. The entire staff can only be accused of being incompetent so many times before they lose their mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biodork Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Holiday work party this afternoon, then two days away from the horrible coworker and a chance to go snowboarding again. TGIF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samson's Flow Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Holiday work party this afternoon, then two days away from the horrible coworker and a chance to go snowboarding again. TGIF. Sounds like the perfect opportunity for this co-worker of yours to mysteriously disappear... ya catch my drift? :ph34r: Note: I am in no way saying bio should do anything nefarious.

josie Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 I am full of guilt, fear, anger, hatred, and disdain for the holidays with a deep desire to go into a hole and avoid most human contact for a month BUT I'm a week closer to walking. Oh my god, a week closer to being able to just... go to the damn bathroom or grab something from the other room without crawling, hopping, or subjecting my armpits to more pain. Just have to get through these cursed holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are you saying that he should instead disappear into a closet with another unnamed coworker? That's the only type of disappearance that I would expect from a christmas party.

JJFIVEOH Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Hope y'all enjoy your vacation time. Looks like you might finally get some winter weather to put you in the spirit. Us, well, we have a cold front coming through that will last about one day and bring low temps down to about 62. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 My co-worker let me drive his Mercedes G-wagen to Mighty Taco today. I giggled like a child the whole way. What a stupid car :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biodork Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Good time at the work holiday party, especially since the coworker is apparently out sick today (not that she could be bothered to tell me about it), and my boss gave me a $100 gift card to True Food Kitchen!! Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biodork Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Wow, I thought my $20 for a local shopping mall was a nice gesture. Right? I was shocked when I opened the card. We have a large group, too, so I didn't expect her to do anything, really. Very nice on her part. I'm glad I already gave her a gift (made candied pecans for her family) earlier this week!!

Well she knows now that something is amiss and we're working on finding time to meet and discuss (privately) in more detail... hoping for early next week, but her schedule is pretty booked so we shall see. My boss is honestly a great person who obviously cares about her employees, so I'm hoping things will go well but I'm still not sure where we go from here.

Eleven Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 My Dad got his biopsy results back today. Ok, it was cancerous. But it's low-level, and doesn't even need treatment. Just some monitoring for now. And they got the whole tumor (it was small) out in surgery Tuesday. The last time I heard "it's cancer," it was a 5% chance to live 5 years and she didn't even last 5 months. I feel much better about this one.
