We stopped that charade years ago. Hell, we stopped the Santa charade a couple years ago. We still get the Elf out as kind of a Christmas game though. Whoever finds it gets to hide it next. My Son "hid" him in the trash once last year.

I fucking hate those things. I had to do a mad dash the other day at 5:30 in the morning so I could move them before daughter #2 gets up to go to practice. I forget to move them about a third of the time and am already completely out of ideas.
OK, so it really is more of an ad. Was starting to lose even more faith in 'Merican society.

If there were ever a brutal serial murderer of elf on a shelves just know that it's probably me. I want to set up little murder scenes with them and laugh coldly at the elf CSI detectives trying to solve the case.

Thank God my kids were too old for the elf on a shelf thing before it became a thing.
You should definitely lock him in a sex-torture dungeon before offing him. Maybe snuff film the whole thing too.

Set up a suicide scene and tell her it killed himself for being a such an epic shitty waste of mass and space.

Now we are fucking talking.
Reminds me of that nut who sent Grissom miniature models of the killings he was going to do.

You work with some dumb peopleI had an alignment call yesterday with a few admins, trying to book a meeting this week.
Me: Big Boss is OOO through Thursday, so if you need him, it will have to be next week.
Them: Our bosses can do Thursday. Can Big Boss?
Me: Big Boss is OOO through Thursday, so if you need him, it will have to be next week.
Them: How about on Friday?
Me: He's booked all day.
Them: How about Wednesday?
Me: Big Boss is OOO through Thursday, so if you need him, it will have to be next week.
Them: How about early on Thursday?
Me: Big Boss is OOO through Thursday, so if you need him, it will have to be next week.
Them: Umm...okay, we'll book it for Thursday.
Today
Organizer: Can we meet today to get 30 minutes on the calendar with your boss and my boss before Thursday's meeting?
And people wonder why I drink.

Did you get buy in on the alignment or did you need to take that offline and do a deep dive?
She‘s old enough and internet savvy enough to know that it’s all bullshit. I think she may be fucking with me. Either that or she doesn’t want to ruin it for her younger sister, but that hasn’t stopped her with anything else.
Moxie, you need to reach out and touch base as the thought leader and influencer to coordinate focus on these pain points and emphasize that Big Boss has no bandwidth.

To torture me. I asked the vet the same thing and she said that sometimes little dogs aren't as good at remembering. WTF? I'm going to have to take a class on it or something because sometimes, she'll piss on the carpet, right in front of me, get ashamed and go hide under the bed or in her crate and I haven't even yelled GODDAMMIT, NO! yet. And it's tough with a girl, because sometimes I can't tell if she's just sitting or if she's pissing. I've grabbed her quickly several times, only to find out, she was just sitting. Unlike the other day, when I caught her in time to have her finish peeing on my hands. Good times.
lulz... it was freezing outside this morning! But really- she wears clothes almost all the time because it's cold in my house. Not only have I not called an electrician to fix the heater, I'm not doing fires because it dries out the Christmas trees too quickly.hahahaha...is her punishment that sweater?
But I just looked over and saw this:
Nekkid little pervert.

Or I need to send them dictionaries for Christmas so they can look up what the word "No" means.

Yeah, after the second time I'd probably just go straight to ...
"What part of, 'it will have to be next week' do you not understand???"
The smallest dog I've ever had was a beagle, so I don't know about the bladders of itty-bitty dogs. If she acts ashamed without you saying a word, it's almost certain she knows she isn't supposed to be doing what she's doing, so that's good. Now you just have redicrect her. If she's usually good with the pee pads, just start moving them progressively closer to the door, reward her when she uses them, etc ... I mean, that's what works with paper training bigger dogs, at least in my experience.
Definitely. We probably care too much. But we're dog people, I guess we're just wired that way.
One can never "care too much" for your loyal companions like them.
I like my dogs and cats MUCH more than I like most people....
Probz just imitating you.
