WHY are bras so hard to fit? None of mine are fitting well right now and I''ve re-measured & just don''t believe what the websites are telling me my "new size" is. Should I REALLY order a bunch of sizes and then return the ones that don''t fit? THEY ARE SOOO EXPENSIVE! I don''t want to have hundreds of dollars tied up in this madness. I''d try a bunch on in person but there''s no selection at the department stores around me & I''d have to travel for hours to get to one with a *chance* at having the range of sizes I need to experiment with. Plus, every bra is different & every manufacturer is different. Even if I find the right size in ONE bra, doesn''t mean it carries over! GAH GAH GAH GAH.

Where is Oprah when I need her?

I just threw up this morning and am not feeling at all well, emailed all the important things I needed to have done today to my boss that he needed, and yet he is still making me come into work today. It''s going to be a VERY long day

How can he make you come into work? That''s crazy. I never tell my chair why I''m not coming in, I just say ''I''m calling in sick today. I will see you tomorrow.''


I hope you feel better, Smurfy! Sorry you have to go in to work.

Really, that''s crazy. Do you call in a lot? Maybe he thinks you''re hungover or something, not really sick? Not saying you are, just trying to figure out why he''s being such a doosh.

BTW, what ever happened to Lama_cookie?

It''s a sunny 75 degrees (F) here at the base of Camelback Mountain in Scottsdale AZ and I''m stuck inside in seminars all day

Life is so not fair....

I agree that bras are terribly expensive. But when you think about how much use you''ll get out of them and break it down into a "per wear" cost it isn''t much. I have some bras from VS that I paid $50 for and have worn for almost 2 years. Sure they aren''t the same as they were when new, but they still hold my boobs in place where they belong, comfortably.

I would order a bunch and try them on. Go up and down a couple of sizes in the band and up or down a size or two in the cups. Just make sure that you can easily return everything.

I've only took one half day when I was sick, went home early and they knew I was sick because everyone else in the office had it too! People coming in hungover here is a pretty regular occurrence but on fridays they bring in beer for everyone in the afternoon and one day I had 2 and saw that I was a lightweight and I told them that is why I don't drink very much so they even know! lol Don't get me started on those partaking in 420 today, I'm just waiting for someone to offer it to me so I can say no. It makes me fall asleep lol I'm probably the straightest edge in the office, never thought I'd say that lol

Beach, I saw the clouds rolling in over the foothills too (drive in from south denver to lakewood/littleton area) so it is always a pretty drive on 470 but especially on days like today when the weather is a little moody

Didn''t you call in sick a few times in the last few weeks? Maybe he wants to see if you''re genuinely sick, esp since you''re still relatively new at this job.

W00t! Congratulations, Elle!

 

[Smurfysmiles]

I''m feeling better now so it''s probably good that I didn''t call in. Technically I didn''t ask to stay home, I just said I''d thrown up and would be in a little late to which he replied with an enthusiastic "ok we''ll see you in a little bit!!" Really my own fault lol

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

That''s completely different and not what you posted earlier. Thanks for clarifying, makes complete sense now.

 

[Lilac]

Elle - just saw the job news! Congrats thats SO exciting!!!

 

[Smurfysmiles]

Sorry it still feels like monday to me, my head is almost as foggy as it is outside

 

[zoebartlett]

Smurfy, I hope you feel better soon!

Elle -- Congratulations!! That''s great news!

****************

My husband is on cloud 9 right now, and I''m really excited for him. We''re flying home to New England tonight for job interviews, and he just got a call from his old employer in one of our favorite seacoast towns. It turns out that they''re looking to hire someone for the position that he used to have for 7 years (they''ve reworked a few things, so this position would be somewhat different). He''s going to interview with them on Thursday morning. The HR person he spoke with started talking about salary and everything, and they''re looking to hire someone quickly. He has an interview in Boston tomorrow morning, and then this one to look forward to. He''s crossing all his fingers and toes that one of these work out, and if so, we''ll be heading home for good.

I rarely get to drive on 470, but love when I do. soo pretty!

And whaa, they "celebrate" 420 in your office, during work hours?

Congrats! That is excellent news. A year is a long time- good for you for persevering.

Today is DH and my 3rd anniversary. I presented him with his very own stapler tonight. I really wanted to get him a red swingline, engraved "Yours" as many of you had recommended, but I honestly ran out of time. And DH really isn''t a red guy. So I got him the nicest, most masculine looking swingline I could find at Office Depot. It''s nice and he laughed when he opened it. It''s a stapler peacy treaty. Mine better be back in my office tomorrow. It''s on his "desk" right now! No excuses any longer for stealing it!

Lol they celebrate it on days other than 420 too. I went looking for a pencil one day and opened a drawer and found a bottle of jack daniels instead
