This is the round loom I was using today to knit the Prem baby Hats...

The other ladies live, breathe and think all things crafts.. and they think this loom knitting is wonderful and relaxing.. I'm not a natural crafter nor is Jane the lady who was sat next to me, and we were both getting more and more frustrated that the wool wouldn't stay on the loom after we'd worked hard to get half a hat done.. ..while the others were having a great time with it.. :LOL:

Count to three before starting the conversation with your boss. Tell her you didn’t appreciate being critiqued by a fellow staffer, especially who has only been there a couple of weeks. Pick three examples and then let the boss deal with it. If the boss doesn’t, the next time the youngster starts in tell her, nicely, that you aren’t interested in her thoughts. And maybe start it with that southern expression of Bless your heart.

haha...I like that...that made me LOL>>. :ROFLMAO:
 

@Kaila She wasn't unpleasant until today. Yesterday she seemed kind of cranky, but I attributed it to there being so much work to do. It didn't occur to me until today that when she asked yesterday what I do when I come in so early, she was appearing to work much harder than was necessary and arming herself to throw me under the bus. I have no idea why. It's not like she wants my job. We both have the same job and same pay. Neither of us can get a raise until the union says we've put in enough time to get one, and the raise will be the same. And even if she wanted my job, she couldn't have it because it starts at 6am and she can't be there before 9am. She has three kids under the age of 7 who need to be in school in the morning and the youngest is home at 230.

Our supervisor has started coming in around the same time I do unless there's a particular reason to have to be there at 4am. Sometimes if we're expecting a sort of slow day, he comes in between 8 and 10am.

I just remembered something else. Last Sunday I volunteered to work so that our supervisor could take a Sunday off. Today he told me that he has to take inventory this coming Sunday and begged me to come in, promising that he won't schedule me on a Sunday again unless it's at my request.

So...along comes Newbie and says she can come in at 7 on Sunday because the kids don't go to school. He didn't acknowledge her comment, but kept looking at me. I said sure I'd do it to help him out. Inventory is a crappy thing! Newbie pipes up and says "Oh, there's no need. I'll be here at 7". Whaaaat?

There are three hours between 6am and 9am...three hours when she doesn't have the remotest notion of what to do first even after I recited a laundry list of what all happens during those three hours.

@Jules Exactly! "Bless your heart" covers so very much. Being an almost-native Southerner, she'll get the implication. LOL I'm thinking about what to say to our supervisor and how to approach the subject without animosity and without throwing her under the bus. If there's anything we don't need in our little 3 1/2- person department, it's co-workers at each others' throats!
 
So far, it's been an ok day.

When I got up this morning, it was 66°F, and raining. The rain has stopped, and the temp has dropped. Right now, it's 34° out there. Burrrr!

I have a casserole in the oven, and it's almost ready. After dinner I'm going to bundle up and go outside.....feed critters, check fences, etc.

Hopefully, the rest of the evening will be spent watching Doctor Who! 😁
 
@Trila What time's supper? It's 70F here right now, but in about an hour we'll be shivering in our boots. A nice, comforting, hot casserole sounds like just what the doctor ordered. Got enough to share or will 🐐 Guy eat it all?

BTW, remember a few weeks back when we ordered at-home Covid test kits? Mine were delivered today.

I have tons of left overs....come on by! 🍨 Bring dessert!
 
@Trila I had a lemon cake with lemon filling for dessert but ate it all. And you're too late anyway; I've decided on a scrambled egg sandwich. With a slice of unhealthy American cheese.

The reason I already ate the lemon cake is because I'm a firm believer in eating dessert first (because life is short, yanno).
 
Today I am waiting for my daughter and granddaughter to come and visit. I just got a picture my older grandson sent me of him, his girlfriend, and my younger grandson from when they were at my house the other day for dinner. My oldest grandson is the shorter guy. Oh and their dog Linus is in it too.

Can I come too, and bring my cat? :giggle:
She is pretty fussy about what she eats though, and complains and might be rude, :unsure::confused::oops::rolleyes:
So now that I think more about it, never mind, I will leave her home.;):LOL::ROFLMAO:

This is so funny. I can relate. I give up too soon when I start a craft.
 
Got a late start. Sun was shining.

Went to my PCP to get my hormone script written...I'm still waiting.
Then to Walmart for some weed-n-feed.
Then Walgreens for 2 do-overs on some prints I had made the other day. When I took a closer look there were 2 blemishes on 2 of the pics.

She re-did them for free.

Came home and watered a couple of new flowering plants I have yet to plant in the ground somewhere.

I'm watching After Life on Netflix. I'm on the 2nd series.

But, but, but......I saved you some casserole!!!! 😟
 
It is 8 AM just came back from dropping Mishka off at Doggie Day Care..it had snowed all night ,the roads were bad.My daughter is a nervous driver, I am a reluctant passenger..from leaving to return, I have mentally said my rosary 4 times,I mentally went over the fine points of my will and wondered how long it would take to extradite me from a snow bank….blood pressure is returning to normal..going back out in a couple of hours Shakespeare has Friday hydra…please Lord…I promise to stop swearing at the politicians if you get those roads cleared..AMEN🧑🏻‍🦳
 
Did the grocery and mail thing yesterday.....was going to do that today.....but.....the blizzard forecast for last nite and today changed my mind.
I did something when i got home and in the garage, that i've never done before.
LOCKED myself out of my vehicle. :cautious:🤪😜😟😕🙁.
When it's very cold.....i use both set of keys.....leave it running while shopping and the other set are in my pocket.
When i got out, i put both sets in my purse, which i never do, got out, left my purse in the car, get it when unloading, which i usually do, but not with the keys in it.....quite often i touch the lock button by accident when i get out......it HAPPENED......LOCKED myself out......CRAP !!!!!!!
So, had to get the dealership to come over to get it unlocked.....i'm 63.....that's the first time i've ever done that.......hopefully the last.
How EMBARRASSING. They were there within a few minutes. I was surprised, they did it the old fashioned way....wire through the door window and unlatched the lock.

Because of this blizzard, will have a hard day shovelling, probably a couple days moving snow, keeping things open in the back.....about 6 inches so far.....but 60/80 nw wind. not sure how much it's snowing, hard to tell with the wind.

There is something i'm getting tired of doing besides shovelling......watching my X driving past my place several times a day. He's wearing out my front street, my side street, my back street. Get a LIFE or what.

That's all my ranting for now. 😜
 
We didn't get much snow last night.
There is left over ice in areas that the tiny bit of snow have covered.
Mac has been out to potty,once so far.

Hubby had left to get some corn for the deer.
Different farmer is selling to him.
I got online maps up so he could get a better idea of where he was going.

He used to be very good about directions,,now not so good. :oops:
