Beginning to throw out/give away the baby stuff that we have. Hooray, more space for toddler junk!

Bro, if you collect all that stuff, sort it by color, put tiny price tags on all of them, bag them, drive them to your church, wait in line for an hour, buy a table, set up that table, put all that shit out on the table and sit there for 6 hours and sell your old baby clothes for $1 a piece you can make like 40 or 50 bucks.

The first sentence in @gobucks0409 paragraph did make me chuckle a bit. It made me remember that old MASH episode when Col Blake was reading Klinger's excused for discharge

Sister pregnant, Grandma dying....Grandma pregnant...sister dying

Grandma dying I guess. She is old as hell but the real bitch is that the fam didn't do due diligence on cleaning her house out. Her parents owned the house. It hasn't been moved out of ever and was built in 1908. She's got some ridiculous antiques in there that have to be worth thousands. Gonna be a fistfight over it all

I hope, for your family's sake, that it's not.

My wife's family had a falling out between them, with my MIL and one aunt on one side and another aunt on the other. It's been close to 10 years (might even be more), and shit still gets drug up from that at weird times. Apparently there was an argument at a cousin's funeral or something a few months ago. I think that whole family's only been together a couple of times since my wife's grandmother passed, and they used to get together for almost all holidays. Some of it is the natural way of things, but other stuff, like bringing up 10-year-old stuff at someone else's funeral, is more than a little weird.

My team internally does a "pat on the back" type thing every month, I've had three straight months where positive feedback from clients or people I'm helping doesn't get passed up the chain. I sent two emails to my VP, who leads the calls, passing along compliments I've received in the past week from clients.

VP responded and said that they're looking to promote me.

I seriously hate this kind of shit. We have a system automation where a co-worker submits a form about how a teammate helped you, it goes to that person's supervisor and your supervisor.


...of course, a segment of our monthly 1-on-1s with our supervisors is "Positive feedback received" where you need to talk about these things that they have a copy of.

Hard pass. Wife had actually tried doing something like this for a big consignment sale (she wouldn't have actually had to do the selling, but she printed out tags, hung things, etc.) before COVID hit. Once the shutdown happened and the sale got scratched, we just said fuck it. We'll take it to a consignment store, take what they give us for it, and either donate or throw out the stuff they won't take.

Did you run out of space on the fridge from putting those things up there?

I give the same response every month.

"No idea. I don't keep track of these things. I just do my job."

I don't think we've covered that section the last couple months now.

My brain doesn't do "go through the motions" shit.

MY MOM! YOU SON OF A BITCH!

Just for that, when I'm done here, I'm gonna drink the coffee you left on the counter.

I don't mind that so much but could you at least make up the bed when you leave this time?

Douche: It's not that I am lazy, it's just that I don't care
