Nibbs XXV (Page 6)

Thanks!  I feel a little cliche about buying more Danskos (since I work in a lab) but they are so comfy. 

Yep.  That's why I see all the grad students and nurses wearing them.  We know better.

enders_shadow - 2008-09-27 6:37 PM I still don't understand why I can't wear flip flops to teach... they're comfy.

Actually, now I'm picturing you - wearing heels - as you stand at the front of a lecture hall.... But I suppose that I need to modify the mental image so that you're not wearing a tri suit? Or running across the room with your thumbs up.

O M G I wore heels on Tuesday with my really cute new suit (not tri suit, werk suit)...and I almost died. I kept stepping out of them, I'm sure my class was amused... Now she's tall... Now she's not... Now she's tall.... Now she's not.... Heel's plus a tri suit? Nah - not me. I'm more of a flannel pants and flipflop girl - too bad I have to look professional occasionally.

I wore flip flops to work all day.  Of course I also wore spandex leggings, an oversized football jersey and a bandana but that's a minor detail.  I don't really miss the days of having to get dressed up for work.  Now I only get dressed up if we do a Club Med grand opening (and then I get to wear really fun/sexy/sassy type things) or if I have to go to some sort of meeting for a client at a school in which case I tend to go straight for the conservative suit and a look on my face that states, clearly, it would be best to just do as I say.

Hey Nibbs.

Morning everyone!  Our basement is less flooded.  Yesterday, they pulled up the carpet, took out the pad (threw it away), vacuumed up all the water, put the carpet back down and sucked the water out.  We've had fans on it all day.  They showed up with a blower at 10 this morning.  I was unimpressed since I was still in bed.

They are trying to save the carpet.  We'll see how well that works.

Hi Nibbs!

It's quiet in here - everyone must be out enjoying the weather?  It's not very nice where I am - it's raining again

I'm at my 'old' apartment cleaning out the last of my stuff and doing odds and ends so I can turn my keys in.

I will be glad to have this part done

that sucks Jen - I hope you can save it so you don't have to spend the money on replacing it

D001 - 2008-09-27 11:40 PM Uh oh........

further proof that you need to look for a new job so that you don't have to werk all the time

Oh! and the renter is a sure thing!

they signed a lease for 18 months - can you say HUGE sigh of relief?

Conveniently, we rent, so we don't care either way right now.  My biggest concern is mold.  I'm going to bring home some plates from the lab tomorrow to see how much there is in the house right now and then compare in a few weeks.  I'm not sure they are going to bring out a mold inspector unless we really push for it.

Yeah!  That's awesome. 

It's raining on and off here, too.  I had to run some errands and I'm trying to make the house a little more liveable.  Our kitchen is full of boxes and bikes that were in the basement, so I've been trying to make it more organized.   

sounds like what I've been doing this weekend - I feel like my life is one of those slidy square puzzles - every time I move one square I have to move it again - we're getting closer though

ahhhh!  probably not

the dryer here could not possibly be any slower

tap, tap, tap, I'm bored and want to go home

Laundrymat?
