I know but it just sounds so fake. If I was really putting it in my words I'd just be like "I did the job of three people and saved the company a bunch of money. Be happy."

Yeah since it goes straight to our manager for approval I'm sure I'd be getting the funny look real quickly. Though it would be funny to write up a real one and save it off somewhere so when she comes back to me going "what in the world is this?" I can just quickly change it out and be like "done".

I mean it would at least put it in the back of her mind that the real summary of what I did is 3 people's job and saving the company money and all the rest is fluff.

I assumed the responsibilities of several adjacent positions ( did 3 jobs)
Allowed the company to retain significant monetary assets ( saved company lots of money)
Efficiently adjusted to respond to needs of individual situations ( jumped in to save the day)

See I can do that all day... it's sick, but required when you're a special ed teacher 'cause you can't just say " Your kid's behavior sucks because you're too busy with your own life to pay attention and you let him do whatever he wants so he's a selfish ass"

Hey MsB, I have a random question for you. I'm not sure where in Utah you live, but I'm hoping you can help this SoCal girl get a bit of perspective...

My brother is getting married. Generally speaking, this is a good thing. His fiancée is probably the coolest person he could have hoped to get to marry him. They're very cute and I'm really excited to have another sister-in-law.

They live in Provo right now, so they've decided to get married nearby in American Fork. That's fine, I can brave Utah for one weekend for my brother's wedding day. The wedding is the third weekend of January though. I haven't seen actual snow in 12 or 13 years, and not even flurries for 6 years.

Aaaaand they want to drive up to Midway/Heber for a family dinner after the wedding. Looks like a cute little place, but it's an hour drive, 1000 ft elevation climb, up a little windy mountain road.

So I guess my question is, if you know, how much snow should this California girl expect? Does hubby need to brush up on his tire-chain skills? Or will the roads be kept clear? It's the 189 north-east out of Orem, if that helps. And once we get up there for dinner, would it be better (for people not used to driving in the snow) to get a hotel up there, and then drive down during daylight the next day? I mean, should we avoid driving down a mountain road in the dark in January? Or am I being silly?

If you have any pointers or thoughts on this at all, I would really appreciate it! Hubby is already having flashbacks to his childhood in Wyoming, but I'm really hoping we can work this out so I can enjoy my brother's wedding. (Oh, and just for the icing on the cake, not only is it Utah in the middle of ski season, they also picked the same weekend as the Sundance Film Festival. Having fun trying to find a hotel already.

)

Great. I was sick for the last two weeks and have to justify to my boss why I took the facility kids to Carroll Summit in a foot of snow to get a Christmas tree and MAGICALLY look five years younger and healthier (minus the occasional cough of course) while clocking in this morning.

We just have different flavors. H3 is like tourney/speed ball on the Paintball Course and Rainbow Six Vegas is like scenario/woods ball. Although there are some spots where we do get to the "Stick your UMP45 up that dudes ass KILL 'EM ALL!!!" tactics. Feels sooo good to be shootin' without spending sixty to a hundred dollars for the .45 on a range day.

That and moving reactive targets.

No, that's not a man law. It would seem that the person in question has forsaken his rights to use the man laws and has now adopted the laws of douchebaggery. Sorry hon. *hugs*

Definately not a man's law. Listed under Bitch Law, Section 1, Item three below:
1. Failure to apply respect and dignity to all things.
and
2. Refusal to carry self with honor and respect to all things.
Falls under:
3. Denial of rights and obligations to loved ones, significant others, offspring, and any person/diety where word is bond.

And, as I'm sure my fellow BCMW will agree, most of the bitches I know are in fact male, not men. "himself" is allowed only the label male in terms of identity for target recognition.

Hi all...

It's been awhile but things are...well...things. Good is not a word I can use right now with a 'pain patch' taped to my lower back (actually it's high ass, but who's countin'?

). Stupid bed at the house-sitting place sucks major. 4 nights in it and I can't walk...or RIDE. I get VERY cranky when I can't ride.

NVG: love the Samuel. Wonderful expoundation (new word...triple word score bonus) on one of my favorite rules. I rarely post without reading an entire thread...the few times I have, it always bites me in the high ass. :D

CK: Beautiful dress. LOVES it...and it looks smashing on you...even headless.

I ended up LOVING my fifth choice dress in the holiday dress saga. Even though it was 10x more expensive than the one I found locally, I still had to let my inner princess win out and wear it. Let's see if I can find a picture of it (can you believe I managed to not get a single picture of the full thing both times I've worn it so far? Dereliction of duties, I tell ya.)

Let's see...here is me talking to my boss' wife.

Headless me (I'm making a funny face so I cut it off.

)

and dancing with a co-worker. I'm apparently a face-maker when I dance. There are a plethora of other pictures of me dancing and the faces only get worse. Heh.)

So yeah, no full shots of the dress, but there is the top portion. Best part is the dress is COMFORTABLE. I probably should've gone down a size, but whatever...I felt like I could go hiking in it and be perfectly comfortable (or some such activity that ones DOES.NOT. do in a fancy dress).
