i'll show you mine if you show me yours

Sometimes I wish I could use this blog as a forum to vent about specific co-worker situations.

(I mean, I've semi-done that once, awhile back.)

(I'll be honest: it felt amazingspice.)

But, I am kind of hesitant to push the boundaries. In this economy, a girl can't be too cautious when it comes to safeguarding her job security.

So, I'll keep my luscious lips sealed. All I can say is, TGI-effing F.

In other news, I'm exhausted today. Because I am sporty as well as girly, I stayed up until the wee hours last night, intently watching the late basketball games. I'm running the bracket pool at work, and I take great pleasure in circling my own wins with a nice red pen.

Oh, what? You want to see my what? (I'll show you mine if you show me yours.)


And here is where I plan to spend the next five or six hours:
Yes, there is a beer in the corner.
A beer for Ber.
I will cheer for Louisville with hubs, a mega Cardinals fan, because I am a supportive wife. (Sometimes.)
Inside, I will secretly weep for my Indiana Hoosiers.
(We'll get 'em next year, guys.)
(Or, maybe the year after that. Let's be realisticspice.)

Have a great weekend, except for the person who quit following me. You won't be reading this post, so I can say without apology that I hope your weekend is woefully mediocre.

I hear you on the coworker venting. I want to, too. In fact I did, scheduled for next week. Can you not tell the story on codespice?

I recently picked up a nemesis. He's at work. I want to blog about him, but since some worker people haunt my blog, I avoid it altogether.

It's safer. I'd rather not get dooced.

I weep for the Hoosiers, too.

Well, I don't have any co-workers right now, but two that I had at my last job still give me nightmares. *shudders* Do NOT miss them at all! So I totally feel your pain (I've only been out of the workforce since last May so the memories are still pretty strong.)

Have a great weekend and maybe I'll find you on Twitter:)
Venting is one of those things you have to do carefully and online tends not to be too careful. :)

Have a great weekend and forget about the co-worker.

I always felt like I wanted to get into March Madness, and I would do okay when the Badgers and Marquette were in it, but otherwise since a) I can't hang on the court myself and b) my college never had a team of any note, I just save my random fandom for football.

Oh you lost a follower?! What a bummer! I bet it was the same person that stopped following me today, so you go girl for telling them to have a mediocre weekend!!

This is how I am with football. Love it, I'm so sad the season is over. And I agree, sometimes it would be great to vent about work on my blog but you can't be too safe in the internet era.

If I vented about a co-worker, I'd be venting about myself as I'm worker, boss, co-worker all rolled into one! Quite schizo, actually.

Enjoy your sporting stuff!
I am not so secretly excited that my husband is going to be gone almost all of today and all of tonight so I can sit in my living room and watch basketball, drink beer and eat chips all by myself!!!! So excited. Oh and I have Middlesex sittig next to me for the commericalsor something haha..

fetal friday?

I know that I left everyone hanging yesterday. You know, when I went to pee on that stick. (That was mean of me. Not the peeing, but the leaving hanging.) Well, I think the big reveal is best expressed in letter form. Deep breath. Here goes. dear unborn baby daughter son or daughter, I take it back. I take back everything I said about not wanting kids. I was just scaredspice, and the slightest bit selfish, and maybe I had a giant fear of commitment. But, three positive test results in the last eighteen hours seem to say that you actually are in there, getting all comfy. I guess you'll probably be here in mid-December. I never thought about having a Christmas baby. (You've really put a wrench in my whole taking-maternity-leave-during-the-NCAA-tournament plan, but that's okay. At least it's basketball season. Don't tell Daddy yet, but you are going to cheer for the Indiana Hoosiers.) Speaking of Daddy, I take back all the mean things I've ever sa

Brett and Alice's Writing Style is the Real Crime Here

Here is a nearly sentence-by-sentence reconstruction of Brett and Alice's most recent episode of their podcast "The Prosecutors" - titled Adnan Syed is Guilty. I will not be utilizing the strikethrough in every sentence but will do so when I am compelled and will try to bold sections I've added. I've highlighted some of my favorite and most poignant edits.  I've tired and failed to stay away from a bit of snark. This endeavor was exhausting.  My work will illustrate how Brett Talley and Alice LaCour use narrative spin to bring you their version of events that they want to, for whatever reason, call "facts." I start just before the 4 minute mark.  Transcript So,, Adnan Syed and Hae Min Lee dated for quite some time  when they were in high school, starting around March 1998. They’d stay together for the next 9 months or so, though they broke up twice during that period.   They were on-again off-again until around Halloween and broke up for good before
