The party was at the owners home, 30 minutes away from my home and 40 minutes from the store, not accessible by bus.

We had a secret santa, but what I didnt know was that we had to spend $20 until after I agreed to take part. (Im new so I felt a lot of pressure to go to this party since the store only has 7 staff members)

I had to give $10 for the owners gift and $10 for the managers gift.

We each had to bring a food dish. (that I was fine with)

So it cost me about $60 or more to go to a staff party.

I agree ! i wouldve felt the same way.. it's just worse i think because they didn'T tell you before you took part .. what a pooper !

I know eh ! i don't get it either .. i LOVE that groan-cause-you're-so-tired-and-comfy feeling when i get into bed.. weird kids i tell ya ! lol

mini rant: i got DDs meds this morning.. brought up my bag from canadian tire to my apartment on the fourth floor (barbies on mega clearance .. say whaaaa !?!?!) ... forgot the meds in the car .. they can't be refrigerated.. i have to go back down and up.. 4 stories.. by foot.. and i'm a blimp :frusty:

Yes, I did! But, I don't think she has them! :) She was pretty excited putting her gifts in # order....she tried guessing a few but was super excited about the ones she figured was "gum" and the one that Kayla made especially for her. She had to show the box to all of us! lol

I was a good girl I just put mine in # order and only looked at the tags and didn't even try guessing any of the presents! I am pretty proud of myself! :lolsign:

Going out to buy my kiddos mini iPads for Xmas :) buying today at Walmart for $318 each then taking my receipt in on Thursday because staples has them on for $249. This way assures I'll have them and not have to worry about Walmart running out of stock on their Black Friday sales :) I got a package yesterday in the mail but it's in my hubby's name so not this train :(

My Walmart is evil for Price matching. They will call the local Staples to make sure they have some in stock and if not they will deny the price match :(

I got my package!!!!!!!! Couponsrule thank you :)
Couldn't tell who sent it, so the wonderful lady at the counter was laughing at me when I asked if she had a knife so I could open it before I ever left the counter. :D. She was so impressed that we all send package to each other and she had to hear all about it. She loves the idea of a secret advent exchange.
Now to finish up the rest of my running around so I can get home and check it all out and take pictures :)

YAY!!!! Your package is complete. Although, I just found a bunch of movies and things that I downloaded for you in a folder and forgot to burn. Hm. I'll have to figure out a way to get that to you. Do you use Dropbox?

And if you really need a pick-me-up from now till Dec.1st than you can open that smaller package you got in the mail. =)

Just looking back a bit...you were right!!

Because of this stress, the ex and flat tire seem like even bigger details when in reality they are nothing. Keep your chin up honey, and remember you are not alone.

HUG. Thank you for all the support everyone. It's been great to come here and rant and just feel supported. Today is a better day! =)

I think that you asked prior to the training to have your own room for medical reasons and it was approved. It totally sucks that you have to share now :( I wouldn't be able to sleep in that situation at all. Hopefully you have a GREAT weekend!

I got my doctor's note so all should be well. They are not too happy but at this point I really need to advocate for my right to privacy and space.

Second set of 4, she manually entered # but when I went to redeem, it wouldnt allow her. If you manually enter #, you cant redeem...it MUST scan. CSM, front end manager, about 3 other cashiers...no go. Went to Customer Service Desk...on phone w/PC Plus helpline for over 45 mins...in the meantime, tried to just register another card, a physical card...nope, no go...address the same, new acct, not entering Captcha correct...aaargghhhh! BF was getting pissy. After about 1.5 hrs trying, I would NOT let this deal go!! We went to SELF SCAN and it worked!! The cashier had to come use the scan thing and it worked~!! FINALLY!! So all told...40 pizzas, OOP $11.96...still have a credit of 20,000k points ($20) so basically they paid ME $8.07 to take 40 pizzas out of the store!! :-)

When we stopped for lunch yesterday, we meet up with a couple of friends. This is what our friend Tyler ordered. It was called the WTF burger, which is basically anything and everything the cook wants to put on your burger. We could hear his arteries hardening as he managed to eat it all :)

That is one crazy crazy burger!!

UGH> That sounds not so festive and good. $60 is a lot of money when it all adds up. =( I hope you at least had a bit of fun?
