Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Tuesday 7/30/2013

So what the heck happened to summer? We got like a week of it here. I've been wearing a jacket to work in the mornings. In July. Color me confused.

Today's weight: 138.6

Does anyone else retain fluid for a day or two after a different or unusually intense exercise? I always seem to put on a pound or so. Doesn't bother me because it goes away, but it feels counter-intuitive to gain 'weight' after exercise even if my brain knows it's just fluid.

152.6 - my eating is ******g awesome. Don't know why this is creeping down so slow. Don't really care. Just gonna keep on eating awesome.

Schools are weird. I've officially been at the school for a month (they hired me back in May and I did all the initial paperwork with a start date of July 1). I have received exactly zero information from the district. No "howdy" letter. No benefits info. No 403b info. Nothing. So now I have to decide if I call the benie people. Ugh. Not the way a newbie wants to start a job. Also, my type A anal retentive personality doesn't like this one little bit.

But **** it hasn't started me stress eating yet, so I'm going to go with the flow for now.

You all have a fandamntastic day!

Mom - love seeing you around here again.

Hey, Slim, baby!!  Losing -- yay!  Schools -- weird-ass places!!  Def call bene people.  Any other new folks you can band together with??

do you have a link to lance so i can save him in a document!??!?!?  he's my fave.  and i know what he would have to say about the school!

have a fan-freakin'-tastic day yourself!!!! 

Try this and let me know if it works. I can't find the original website of the artist who created the artwork. I do remember that the artist said he wanted people to download and use his unicorn pic--his only caveat was that they not make any money by using the pic.

I'll keep looking for the original website because it had some better downloads.

How the heck are you doing?

Okat the usual disclosures, I cannot see my screen so what I am baout to write will make me seem illiterate along with senile.

I've been meaning to tell you and Kairk that the most awesome soft serve ice cream store in the east village.  The big Gay /ice Cream shop have Lance on their wslls.  ******g months i've been say. Dom't Forget.  I'm becoming an old broad. Sonn someone will have to be wiping drool from my chin.

I will wipe your chin, but I refuse to wipe your ass. You will just have to walk, or motorscooter around with **** hanging from your toosh.

East village of what? New York? LA? Doesn't really matter--that if ******g awesome!

I think you should call the benefit people. Just send your snarky self to the closet before you do. I generally find that the mildly confused self gets the best response..."Hope you can help me out. My start date was July 1 and I'd expected to see xxxx by now. Can you tell me when I might see it?" Like that.

Glad your eating is awesome. Have a fantastic day your own self.

Ah, you know me too well. Muzzling the snark is always my greatest struggle. :-)

I'll give them another week and then I'll call. I also don't have any log-ins, passwords or employee online accounts. Kind of leaves me with a lot of thumb-twirling. I find other things to do because need to be busy, working, etc. I was warned that the HR for this district is sub-par - and they were very right. So far, I'm not impressed.

The wheels move very slowly.  I'd say if you haven't heard anything by 6  weeks then you can start your round of calls.  Burocracy.

Yes, I find myself being forgiving right now. I know how many new folks there are just in our school and i can only imagine how many people HR is processing right now (****oads of paperwork, I'm sure.)

Luckily benefits is a different area from HR, so I think I might be safe in calling--but, I'll wait until next week.
