Tagged!

Thanks so much for all your comments on my last post. No resolution yet, but I'm working on it. LOL about my supervisor as Michael Scott. Yes there are some very strong similarities.

I've been tagged by still standing strong in a bloom of hope so I'll take a detour from all my bitching and whining and have a little fun.

Here's how it goes:The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then go to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog.


What was I doing 10 years ago?

I am so cheating on this one because it is the same question I answered for another tag. Apologies to those of you who have seen this. I'm too old to remember anything else that happened 10 years ago.

1. I finished my B.S. in Engineering Physics in May and decided to take a year off to figure out what the hell I wanted to do. I continued teaching Physics labs at the university and went back to work selling shoes at Sears. My family thought I had lost my mind, but I wasn't sure Engineering was for me and wasn't really ready to get a grown-up job.
2. M. and I celebrated our 1 year dating anniversary. Neither of us knew the exact date so we had to make one up. I am so not a girly-girl with this crap. We had also been living in sin for nearly a year. No need to do the math. When it works, it works.
3. I found out that my brother and SIL were expecting their first baby. My nephew, Blake, was born the following May.
4. We rescued Molly the Wonder Dog from the Humane Society for a companion to our 1 year old golden retriever, Jordan. A litter of 7 German Shorthaired Pointers had been dumped. We had taken M.'s grandma to find a new dog after hers died, but ended up with a second one of our own. She is the most neurotic and entertaining dog I have ever owned. "Wonder Dog" is in reference to "wonder why we kept her".

5 things on my to do list today:

1. Talk to one of my project managers about taking a couple days off for IVF#2. He had mentioned that he was concerned about all the sick time I have taken this year to my supervisor last week so I spilled the beans and told him about the fertility treatments. He was more concerned for my health than the work I was missing which was nice. Still got the "adoption" speech.
2. Ran my thermal model to check if some fittings are going to screw up my design. Everything is already installed so hope it looks okay when I get in tomorrow. Mechanical people suck today.
3. Cry in the bathroom because that is what I do lately.
4. Celebrate the arrival of AF. Hurdle #1 over and stims should start on Friday.
5. Go to 1 telecon that I was useless in and 1 meeting that I wasn't.

Snacks I enjoy:

• Triscuits with spaghetti sauce and mozzarella
• ice cream - it's a snack in my world
• quesadillas with more salsa than tortilla

Things I would do if I were a billionaire:

• Quit my job and spend time volunteering at a nursing home (working with old people is my dream job)
• Donate to help find cures for auto-immune conditions (M.S., endometriosis, Interstitial Cystitis, etc.)
• Donate for research and treatments for infertility
• Go to the top clinic for IVF
• Buy DH an English Bulldog
• Move to a better neighborhood

Places I have lived:

• Little farming town in nowhere Nebraska
• Omaha, NE
• Key Largo, FL
• Orange County, CA
• Los Angeles County, CA

Blogs that I want to tag: I think almost all the blogs I read have already done this so I'm copping out. If anyone reading wants to do this, consider yourself tagged.
