What Made You Both Happy and Unhappy at the Same Time Today? 2.0

Too many people who harm children get away with it. It's good to hear about somebody like that getting caught.

It is, isn't it? The sad fact that cannot be changed is that he was already doing what he was doing - and had probably been getting away with it for some time. So the only silver lining here is that he has now been caught, and his mask of respectability has been ripped away... along with his precious career. Guilty or innocent, he probably won't be able to work with kids ever again - and considering how he treated my family and many others, that can only be a good thing.

I don't know who turned him in to the authorities (although I do have my suspicions), but they're an absolute hero, whoever they are.

All about work seeing I live there now..

Having to delay a long earned holiday due to work.
Dealing with offshore people who have no deal what they are doing. Seriously! How hard can it be?

Now have over 65 day AL owing and going for more in that my holiday is all time in lieu.
How did that happen

There is open mutiny in my old work team. They want me to take over from someone who in their words is hopeless.
I have 80% of the team saying if things don't change they will all resign.
Told them to speak to HR about their concerns and not to do anything rash.
What a mess.
My friend says that one of me is too much.
Oh the joy to be unwanted.

Midnight global meetings that go most of the night do nothing for sleep patterns.

On the good side
Had to give a presentation to a 100$B client. Scary? No not at all. I nailed it and for the first time the client smiled.
Had 2 days notice and to learn what I was demoing. Seems like a few senior people noticed as well.

Got a write up about the new product I have built with a few others and it was called global market leading.
Bit unexpected but that's why I have been working 80 hour weeks.

Oh finally went for a ride today and it was nice. About time.

I hated some things about working for a multinational, like unscheduled 2:00 a.m. calls from Japanese associates who THINK that they speak English. The money was good, but I hated much of what I had to do to earn it.

Happy: I've lost a couple of kilos in weight, and I'm looking much better for it!

Unhappy: ... because I've been unwell recently.

[WarGrowlmon1990]

Unhappy: My youngest baby is sick and has a fever. He woke up at five this morning and has been sleeping off and on. As a parent with anxiety, when these kids get a sudden fever I tend to worry.

Happy: My older son helped cheer the baby up by making funny monster noises. My youngest son laughed and I found myself laughing with them.

My purse is £300 lighter!

Having some time to pamper and get dressed for me, and then having to get redressed for the world.

Happy: My babies are starting to feel better.

Unhappy: Now I'm starting to feel sick. x_x

[Tristyn]

Happy: My babies are starting to feel better.

Unhappy: Now I'm starting to feel sick. x_x

Glad to hear your kids are doing better. And you get well soon too.




I was happy to be speaking with a great person in the chat and now I am unhappy that she is gone. I always mess stuff up. I've never been good at talking....

There's a quiz on Buzzfeed at the moment: basically, it's 'How well do you know the words to 'Fabulous' from High School Musical'?

I got full marks. Buzzfeed reckons I'm actually Sharpay Evans.

Now I love scoring full marks on quizzes (I'm uber-competitive) but urgh, did it have to be this one? The only reason why I know that song so well is because my eldest daughter was a massive fan of those movies, and when they were released on DVD she played them all. the. time. I had no rest from those movies for a couple of years.

I even knew that the song is actually from HSM2, not HSM as claimed by Buzzfeed.

Ye gods.

Someone called the cops last night and told them someone was shooting a gun off in our apt. building so there were suddenly cops everywhere looking around and holding their guns at the ready to draw if they had to

I didn't hear anything and it was pretty quite up until then, I thought to myself "What a stupid prank for someone to pull" Especially with all the resent shootings lately    Then it dawned on me that I had just missed my window of opportunity at 'Suicide by Cop'

Oh well, maybe next time

[KarynMcD]

Shrinkage.
TMI Warning!

I had to pee.
I sat down and then couldn't dig it out fast enough because of shrinkage.
I had to leave my hand in the way so that the pee would go down into the bowl, instead of where ever it felt like.

Oh dear!

One of my rather unique (Bizarrely Estranged Lunatic) neighbors woke me up knocking on my door around 6:00 AM and started yelling crazy stuff, I just ignored it and went back to bed but then she came back about 6:30 and did it again

The police showed up about a half hour later and although I was tired I was actually glad to see them because I was trying to decide if I should file a report or not because she has a history of harassing people

Anyway I felt bad about having to make a report and I didn't get enough sleep

I woke up this morning with a peculiar situation. While my hubby was sound asleep, he woke me by molesting me. It felt great that he is attracted to me that much, and maintained my one boundary. On the flip side, he is incredibly strong, so it caused pain for the first time ever since we got married.

On the flip side, he is incredibly strong, so it caused pain for the first time ever since we got married.

My ex used to do that to me too, if he woke up in the middle of the night or early in the morning. Strangely, I found it both flattering and disturbing, and after doing some soul-searching I figured out why: it was because I hadn't consented. I was unable to consent, because I was asleep at the time. And sex without consent is never acceptable in my book.

I explained to my ex that whilst I was flattered that he found me attractive, I'm not comfortable with people having sexual contact with me without my consent. I explained that this could be considered a form of sexual assault (what he did to me was actually a form of rape) and that he needs to check with me first before initiating something.

He never did it again.

You might feel comfortable with what your hubby did (apart from the pain), but perhaps it might be an idea to sit down and have a conversation with him about what happened? So you can both agree to what sort of activities (and how much force) is acceptable within your relationship? And also so you can figure out why and how he's apparently able to do these things whilst 'sound asleep', and whether anything needs to be done about that.

I did discuss it. He was asleep while doing it.

One of my neighbors showed up at my door asking me to call 911 for him

Apparently he had been doing antidepressants and gotten hold of some Vodka and tried to fight his way out of the paper sack and lost

He obviously had the DTs (Gnarly hangover from the bad place) 

He looked pretty bad off so I asked him in and told him to sit on my couch while I made the call

After making the call it dawned on me that all I was wearing was a bratop cami a pair of bikini undies and my favorite pair of heeled saddles, oh, and I was wearing lipstick and had  my hair in a ponytail - It was one of those bed head side ponytails that I often wake up with

Great, I look like an 80's Barbie doll - Figured I should go put some clothes on before the EMTs showed up

Anyway I'm kinda looking after the guy and his dog for awhile until he stabilizes a bit more even though he's kinda pissed me off a few times in the past

Oh well, Nurse V M to the rescue again 

[V M]

*Update from the above post*

As it turns out, apparently I actually did save the guy's life because he didn't just have the DTs but he was actually suffering from alcohol poisoning from polishing off 750 ml bottles one after another

I'm not sure what brand it was but apparently



Could kill you I guess

Anyway, he left a vase of flowers with a thank you note at my door today

[WarGrowlmon1990]

Happy: Relieved to finally see my doctor today
Unhappy: I've got a feeling that the pains I've been experiencing lately are IBS or Crohn's, and may have to be referred to a specialist (and wait even longer until I find out what's going on)

Ran out of T and the pharmacy won't have my prescription until tomorrow. I know it's stupid but I can't help but worry that I'll feminize massively overnight. I'm also wondering if my lack of T is causing my tiredness today.

On the plus side I had a job trial today and it's still feels amazing and unreal that I get gendered correctly now with no problems. Even if it is as a 17 yr old. The woman at Costa call me Sir; although she called me 'love' as well which kinda implies that I have the 17yr old look; ah well
