ikslo Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I'm supposed to get with my boss to find out his goals for me so I can create my goals. (In other words, they want us to be engaged in our own goals, but they should be the goals that are dictated to us even though we are supposed to feel like they are our own. :glare: ) Fine. I went to my boss, who said he doesn't even know what his goals for the department are, so he has no idea what my goals should be. So I threw out a few goals and he said, "Perfect!"

Another Lynn Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I'm waiting for the nurse to call me back about when I can go into the dr. office today. How much you wanna bet it's right in the middle of the violin lesson-run to CC to pick up kids and deliver them time? I guess it's not their fault I'm busy from 1pm until bed. Yep, I opted for first thing tomorrow morning instead. Now, to drink more water... Ha! I'll have to hydrate all day long. :laugh: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks! :LOL: Actually, he just has a lot going on. I was competing with some news he just learned that no one communicated to him back in October when it happened - so he was a little preoccupied. Information he very much should have been informed about. But still. I need to have a pretty plan on paper. Give me something. Or give me a raise. Yes! - I'd rather have that.

Slache Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Goals for ikslo: 1. Work from home more. 2. Finish early when at the office. 3. Get a raise. What could anyone even do with your affiliate link?If people sign up I get a percentage. I also have an Amazon affiliate link on my blog, so if you click on a curriculum from my blog that takes you to Amazon and you buy it I get a percentage. I would be a beach body coach for the same reason but then I couldn't say bad things about their programs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsuga Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 It's a marathon, not a sprint! :) It might encourage you to know that my kids didn't start playing their instruments until they were 9/10 years old. 8yo for my youngest - so gymnast has a head start on all of them. And there is so much wonderful music in between! 🎶🎻🎶 That encourages me!!! Mine have been in music since basically pre-school (gentle recorder in a group). It has been quite a blog in a way, though they both compose simple ditties and play well. But the eight year old is in book 1 for four years. We took a break to learn by ear. Now she just needs to be able to read the songs. She can, she just won't practice much so it is slow. But I am hoping a dedicated foundation will help her bloom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 We're starting our third Whole 30 on Saturday March 17th. Matt wants to go to Sushi Town on his birthday right before so this will give us time to finish up some stuff around the house as we need to start depleting our food stuffs before the move. We don't make the kids do it but they're pretty close by default during the season aside from peanut butter and corn tortillas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Fine) He said something that I couldn't figure out about trash bags. Was he selling them? I'm not sure. But he didn't ask me if I wanted any. Instead, he asked me about the weather. I responded that I really didn't have time to chat. He got huffy and hung up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I am beyond annoyed at dd. It is after 12. She has done zero school. Zero. Instead she's been working on our kitchen remodel design. Which I'm thrilled that she wants to take over because I don't have the time. But isn't it obvious that that is something to work on after school is done? Plus - I was planning this week's Anatomy and physiology and I realized that dd never did last week's lab.

JoJosMom Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) So. The short person got mail from CalTech today. My high school science teacher went there, so I told her that the only thing I knew was that there were a whole lotta pranks going on. So she looked at the website. Under "student life," they have a whole page dedicated to "Traditions and Pranks." I think she's in love. :laugh: (Check out the "MIT Transfer Application Form" delivered to the MIT Admissions Office: https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/admissions-prod-storage.cloud.caltech.edu/people_personal_assets/MIT_transfer_app.jpg Poop.
