Thanks for the new one!

Sorry I didn't immediately answer your question about who should start. Stupid phone.

Looks great, thanks!

He said "don't take it personally" and I replied "since it was my bid, of course I'm going to take it personally!"

I'm just so tired of him.

No problem. Well I decided to risk it and if we end up with double threads, we would have marked one of them as deleted .

You are welcome! Michelle came up with the title, I only changed it to look like a question.

Wow of course you would take it personally, indeed it was your bid. Your boss is a jerk.

It went . I was so tired afterwards that I basically asked M to leave the office ASAP . He agreed. I had not sleep the previous night (anxiety most probably) and once the presentation was over I was just so drained.

Otherwise it went OK. It was like free form of presentation. People were allowed to interrupt me at any time and to ask questions. I managed to not talk too fast . I think that it helped that I had to translate from English to Bulgarian during the presentation .

How was work today for you?

I noticed you were up very early this morning. Most probably it was stress. Glad it went okay! Did many people ask questions?

Work was okay today. I went to the office for several hours. I always get more done at home though. My boss knows this which is why he's more than okay with how much I work from home. He even made a comment not too long okay that many people are distracted at home and don't get much work done. I told him I'm distracted at work instead. He asked me how much I work from home, like hours-wise. I told him probably way more than I would if I worked on campus only. He said he could tell. So the arrangement is good, lol.

My youngest niece and brother-in-law are in Phoenix for a soccer tournament. They arrived last night. My brother-in-law’s sister lives in Phoenix so they’re staying with her. They will be in Arizona until Tuesday. My sister and older niece left this morning for Anna’s college. The college had a function there today. They are staying overnight and will leave for home tomorrow afternoon but not before hitting a casino on their way home. Anna said I should have gone with them to her college. She’s already saying we have to go down there together. It’s very important to her that I share the experience with her. We’ve always been so connected. You can tell she won’t feel settled until we share this. It’s very cute. She’s sending me endless pictures. So we’ll go there in March. I can’t believe she’s going to be a college freshman in a few months! Then again I can’t believe Sara will be 16 in April.

So Buddy and Hershey will be spending time together this weekend. Hope Buddy lets Hershey get some rest.

We took Goldie for her annual shots and examination today, and she had a completely clean bill of health! They said that we're taking really good care of her, and they said that it's good that we brush her teeth every night, so we should be good for another year. She's 5 now.

Funny side note to this: I took off her collar to put the new rabies badge on it, so she thought she was going to get a bath, because that's usually the only time we take off her collar, and now she's hiding under the bed!

I actually as up as usual. This is when I wake up for work every day. I just went to bed around 1:30 am and woke up as usual at 4:45 am. This is why I was so tired. Yes, there were around 30 people and I received like 20-30 questions throughout the whole presentation. People still liked the presentation so I guess it was not super bad.

So great that your boss realizes how you are more efficient and does not want to change you! It's great! Your arrangement is awesome and you definitely prove that he can trust you no matter if you are on campus or not.

So which college Anna chose? Awesome arrangement that both Sara and Anna know they have support! How is Sara's tournament going?
