I never had acne at all until after my last pregnancy. It absolutely killed my thyroid and knocked my hormones all over the place and they never went back to normal. Thanks, baby!
-
Just a note, mild rosacea can often be confused for acne as it's not just redness but can have breakouts as well.

NO HE WAS NOT.
And just to spite him I absolutely took out the trash AND vacuumed the cultural hall even though he insisted they didn't need done.
That was his dastardly plan. And it worked!

I am in pain, and I have to mark papers.

This. Plus I literally have zero voice. 26 7-9 year olds depend on me having a voice.
I don't have one.

@silverfox Oh you poor poor thing.
We had two typos in our exam paper this morning. 40 students all pointing that out...

today, i drove to the wrong courthouse, in the wrong city, for a hearing.

This is meant in the spirit of solidarity, not oneupsmanship.
Today I learned that in relation to the writ application I filed last week (my first time personally filing anything), I:
- Failed to complete the index, which was also incorrectly numbered (violation of the uniform rules of the state's appellate courts),
- failed to send a copy to opposing counsel and the trial court and include an affidavit thereto (violation of the local rules of the court), and
- failed to ensure that our office manager scanned a copy of the complete file into our digital records.
My boss is calling in an hour to discuss the event. I'm hoping I can put on my big girl pants and stop being a total wreck before then.
-
@Rinel that sounds awful. Today is a sucky day. I had a reprieve in that the chief witness for the other side was really ill and seeking a continuance anyway so the only harm done is that I looked like an idiot in front of an argument of lawyers. The judge very kindly said that she was also confused about the courthouse change ... but lordy lordy "be physically in building at scheduled time" should not be the hard part of my job.
Best of luck with yours. Sounds to me like you need better mentoring if you were filing something for the first time ever and didn't have somebody on hand to talk to about the nitty gritty.

The person who knows filing best was busy and I decided that I could definitely handle it on my own (spoiler: I could not) and there was no need to bother her (spoiler: there was such a need).
-
@Rinel If it helps you feel better -- honestly I used to crack jokes with the clerk's office that I wasn't allowed to file things and only the legal assistants could because lawyers make a mess. Mostly my issues were messing up the exhibit page somehow or else accidentally stamping things upside down but 5/6 times when filing before I was solo I made SOME kind of dumbass mess. I've gotten better at checking and doublechecking my own detail work now par necessity because I am solo, but man it's a pain in the ass. Good administrative help is worth its weight in diamonds.
-
That makes me feel a lot better, actually. Thank you.
-
Well the meeting that was scheduled by my boss to be between 3-4 and then to be at 3 hasn't happened, and the boss didn't answer my call...
...great.
ETA: It's all good another emergency call happened and it wasn't related to me
-
Triple post: To hell with this. The call got moved from between 3 and 4PM to 3PM to "after another phone call is finished" to "while my boss drives home."
I feel held hostage and I resent the hell out of this and it is taking all of my effort to make sure I don't bring up how pissed off I am about it until next week once everything is settled.
Do not make appointments with your employees that you break because they prove mildly inconvenient.
-
@Rinel That must be hell. I would be a catastrophe of anxiety in your shoes. Fingers crossed the boss realizes this added stress to the situation.
Oh fucking well.

I'm going to tell him, but obviously it's not appropriate to do so in the conversation we'll be having soon. Still, it's definitely going to be a conversation we have later. It wasn't a big deal today outside of being very upsetting for me, but I have tons of appointments and things to do throughout the week. If I cancel one because I'm asked to pencil in my boss for an important phone call, I'd better damn well be getting a phone call.
ETA: Right now I'm letting the anger smolder before I shove it into a box for the call itself. Beats being terrified.
-
self-gripe: I have a multi-pen, two of the pens (cartridges? whatevers) in it have been out of ink for weeks. I keep remembering to replace them at the most inopportune times.
In the shower!
Falling asleep!
Arms in the sink covered in water and dish soap!C'mon brain, work with me here. How can I take appropriately color-coordinated notes at work without my pen at full operational capacity?!

This is why I never set an appointment with them.
I walk into their office when they are around and ask if they have a moment.

That is a lot better, yes.
The talk has been set to tomorrow afternoon with both partners. Which is great. I did get a 20 minute brief talk which has settled most of the anxiety, but... sigh.
ETA: To be clear, the "this is great" bit? Yeah, that was sarcasm. I'm not gonna get a lot of sleep tonight.
