Did you ever get that jacket we were all eyeing before Xmas?  IMG_9582.thumb.JPG.5e708f61c572d3739ca9db17ffe3848a.JPGI love mine but had to have the buttons reinforced, the thread holding them kept breaking. 

I tried mine on and discovered I needed two sizes larger than what was available.  I was so disappointed.  I really really wanted it.

Hi everyone. Hope everyone had a happy Monday. Nothing exciting happening here. Except I have a laser appointment tomorrow. My hr department sent me the fmla paperwork for my recovery time. I was going to do it but my employer thought I should. Fill it out. My boss told me today if I want to come in his office again I have to wear a hat. He has serious issues about my hair. He will really be shocked when he has a meeting with me and hr. For some reason the idea of getting married is on my mind and it’s kind of sad because I never got to be a bride. Or go to prom or be a bridesmaid. I just feel kind of depressed about the events I missed

Any hat? The fool! He may have sown the seeds of his own madness.

 

There's no reason you can't be a bridesmaid though. I mean find an unmarried friend that is getting married and boom! Probably too late for prom. I didn't go to mine either. Probably for the best, from all reports it was kind of 'meh.' On the other hand, if I'd been AFAB, I'd have torn the place UP.

 

Well, probably not. Lesbians still weren't cool in 1988. Statistically, there should have been 20 LGBT people in my graduating class. Including myself, I can identify three of them (and we were all, in hindsight, obvious choices). The other 17 remain a mystery.

 

Anyway, the point being that you're still young. You have lots of experiences ahead of you. Go out and enjoy them!

 

Hugs!

I bet that I would be one of the "mysteries" in my class. A football player and weight lifter? Now a girly girl!

Haha. My boss did give me the option of wearing a plastic bag over my head. I’d really like to get a pink hardhat. That’s what I should do I should show up with a pink hard hat lol.

While I do accessorize in pinks, don't forget the power of purple. Lavenders are good too. Don't limit yourself until you've tried all your options. Ooh, do they make hardhats in floral patterns?

I had a doctor appointment this morning. A week and a half ago, I tested positive for Covid. It only felt like a head cold. This time I tested negative. I can go back to work. All of you take care of yourselves! This seems to affect everyone differently! 

 

Chloe

I remember my time with covid very well and it was awful even in a mild form. I'm glad you're getting better. It was tough for me. My symptoms lasted almost a month but, lucky for me, my job screwed me over and I decided my time as an employee had come to an end. I don't miss them at all. I do miss working sometimes. I hated my job but, loved some of the people there. I am trying to decide what starting my own business might look like and wether I could make my vision come to life. My hopes for college have been dashed by divorce and bad luck. It seems good luck is eluding me at present.

 

Today I woke up to a freezing house and a broken furnace. Can't be fixed. I got a lot of years out of it though so at least there is that. The one day I really needed something to go right had to just prove me unworthy.?

Also, since I mentioned it yesterday, here are my newly painted nails. I just love this color, it's called "first kiss" by Karma Hues, they're based out of NJ and specialize in natural products. ❤️

 

Now the big decision remains - do I take the plunge and buy that skirt suit? Consensus here was positive!

Love the nails and the skirt suit plan. If it is something you like then I say indulge.

Of course you have to have steel toe slippers. I’m looking to see what I can do to make my work attire more feminine. I did find some cute lunch boxes too lol

It is kind of a pain my hard hat has to be msha rated and my mine light has to be msha approved. The light I have now was 400 dollars when I got it.

I have extra hat lamps in my office at work.  They light up pretty good. 

 

Oddly a pink hat almost outed me last week at work when I blurted out I'd wanted one when it was offered to the only girl in class.

@ElizabethStar Love the bunny slippers!

@Jackie C. And the pretty work hat!

 

This thread is blowing up tonight, I was idle for a while and it said "show 15 new posts?" when I came back. Hope everyone is having a lovely evening. Pretty quiet here, which is good, but it's the calm before the storm I fear. I'm expecting a crazy busy workweek with five days worth of tasks crammed into four because of the holiday today.

 

Also - ultimately, I *did* splurge and buy the suit! In navy blue. I hope it fits, even though my body lacks the curves to really make it work. It's how I'll feel wearing it that I really want to know...

 

Love,

~Audrey.

@AudreyCan't wait to see it, assuming all goes well.

 

My dumb ass (can I say that here?) inadvertently maybe outed myself to a customer today. We were talking about the service history on his account when I just had to say "Yeah, I remember from the last time I was there". Grant it, it was a few years ago but pre-HRT. I did manage kept moving through the conversation without missing a beat and side-stepped it when he mentioned me by my dead name as being his favorite tech. He's probably scratching his head right now trying to figure out when a woman came out and serviced his account.

      I grew up with it, my mother's side were Germans.  I still like cabbage.  I make a sweet/sour dish with vinegar and brown sugar, add some bacon if you have it.  And in warmer weather, slaw.  I like that better if it's a few days old, and has worked off a little.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
