GM's Thread About Everything/GM's Thread About Nothing (3 Viewers)

@El Floppo

Since you can't receive PMs I posted our architect's web page, which has some of his current projects on it, on your Profile wall. In case you are interested.

Mr krista and I are at this very moment looking at houses on-line. :bag:

(Would not be moving far, just about 18-20 miles away.)

HEY! I'M MOVING AGAIN TOO!  Of course, it's because I'm trying not to go broke and will be squatting with family while I figure #### out.  So....yay.

Shoot me now.

 
I moved last summer.  Two doors down.  I had almost 5 full months to move.  It sucked rocks and I'm never moving again the rest of my life.  You nomads, I don't understand you at all.  Moving is worse than mushrooms.

 
We're moving this weekend...only six months after being in Portland. Settling into a condo for 15 months while the housing market cools off (hopefully).   The good news is we purged so much stuff in our move from Chicago, we just don't have much stuff left.   Should be a cake walk.

wait... mushrooms are amazing.

unless we're talking about the kind that don't make me see skull-headed snake creatures (but friendly) slithering in the sand at the beach.

staying in the same area?

 
So I just learned that my paralegal had a miscarriage.  She had not announced the pregnancy.  I knew something was up medically, but was only just informed by the office manager about it.  What, if anything, do I say when she returns to work? :(

Give her a hug and tell her if she needs anything that you're there for her.

Then say nothing unless she addresses it first. Then, do what GM said.

Awful. Between this, the daily rain, perpetual gloom, ugly girls, horrible beers and militant bicyclists who scream at every passing car, I can't imagine why anybody would choose to live here.

Given the content of the rest of the post and knowledge of the poster, I have no idea if this means everybody is strung out or you couldn't buy any anywhere if your life depended on it.  Actually true.

An HR person would have an aneurysm over this.  Don't say anything unless she does.

Um, no offense cause I know your hearts are in the right place, but there is no ####### way I am hugging her.  For one, she is a work subordinate.  For two, and more importantly, she never told me she was pregnant, so I can't imagine she would be cool with me presuming that I have that kind of, I don't know what, personal cache with her, to do that.

I really just want to know if I say anything.  I don't want her to think I don't care, but I also want to respect her privacy/need to keep it together.

if she didn't tell you she was pregnant and she didn't tell you she would be missing time due to a miscarriage, due the math Einstein.........she doesn't like you.

so, head down, mind your business.

Due to Math is the name of my They Might Be Giants cover band.

I hug everybody.  I'm kind of weird, though.

NRJ can help with hug etiquette.

If you notice her struggling, you could certainly ask her if she's doing OK, let her know your door is open to talk, whatever.  She might tell you about it at that point.  Otherwise, I'd respect her privacy.
