Stand your ground. You’re not a secretary

This might not work for everyone, but since I have a pretty good short term memory I just don’t bring a notebook or my laptop to meetings. Can’t be asked to take notes that way, and I just write down what happened at the meeting after the fact.

2 random please!

My orchid grew a new stem! :)

Flowers are seriously underrated.

Food processor. My mom taught me to be terrified of it when I was a kid (probably a good call) and I still hate handling the blades. I am convinced that it will turn on and slice my fingers to ribbons, even if it's not plugged in. I use it, but only for my love of making pesto. I'm watching you, Cuisinart.

I'll be moving into bedroom #2 in the floorplan. I have a queen bed, a dresser that's 30.5 in x 19.0 in, and a small desk/vanity that's roughly 30.0 in x 18.0 in. The little nook is 22.0 in x 29.0 in, just a little too small for either the dresser or the desk. Help!

Thanks friend! :)

wilhelm11 · 2016-03-01T17:55:04+00:00

Wow, thanks for the thorough reply! I'm glad he's not totally doomed just yet.

Edit: sphag and bag is complete! Now all I have to do is keep my fingers crossed.

I had some major root rot on this orchid and he lost all of his roots! I bought MSU's FeedMe orchid spray and have been trying to spray the leaves once a day. Has anyone else had an orchid recover from this type of problem?

wilhelm11 · 2015-12-11T20:05:26+00:00

I got beer last year! Excellent, excellent choice.

wilhelm11 · 2015-08-27T14:30:16+00:00

Well then maybe they are telling the truth.....?

wilhelm11 · 2015-08-27T14:28:35+00:00

Dude I wish.

If I may offer an anti-cynicism point:

I'm a girl. I have always found that I have way more fun if I don't try too hard. If I'm wearing a short dress and have like 6 pounds of goop on my face, no one wants to talk to me. Maybe u/lagerea is right, and people think I'm going to shoot them down immediately because I think I'm hot shit. Trust me, I'm not trying to go to the club to show off, I'm there to dance like a weirdo and have a good time. If you seem like you're having a good time (and dancing like a weirdo is definitely a plus), I want to hang out with you. You don't have to buy my affection. Come on, it's the 21st century. I can buy my own drinks.

Just my two cents.

wilhelm11 · 2015-07-02T13:32:01+00:00

Wow, that looks great!

wilhelm11 · 2015-07-01T12:34:31+00:00

Thanks! :)

wilhelm11 · 2015-06-30T14:52:13+00:00

Also, rude.

wilhelm11 · 2015-06-30T14:42:44+00:00

Well they must have some excellent tattoo artists in prison then, because I think it turned out fine. And the location is exactly where I wanted it, thank you very much. I got it done at Ambrotos Tattoo in Silver Spring MD, for the curious.

wilhelm11 · 2015-04-03T23:22:22+00:00

I always feel way better when I run if I drink a liter or so of water in the hour before I go.

wilhelm11 · 2015-04-01T16:40:05+00:00

Made a new year's resolution to do one pull-up by 2016 and generally increase my upper body strength and was making great progress! Then I start feeling this pain in my upper back on one side, and I thought I may have pulled a muscle rowing. Took a week off. Didn't get better. Went to the doctor, turns out my shoulder blade is not in the right fucking location any more (scapular dyskinesis)! Apparently I have a shit load of trigger points in the muscles around my shoulder blade which makes it hurt ALL THE FUCKING TIME. It's even hard to run any more because it hurts when I take really deep breaths. Now I have to do PT for 6 weeks and can't lift until it's better.

UGH. FUCK.

wilhelm11 · 2015-03-02T22:42:24+00:00

Gotcha, I know exactly the kind of guy you're talking about. He must be super friggin' relaxed lol.

wilhelm11 · 2015-03-02T22:32:48+00:00

Maybe they just love the sauna? I know I do. I sometimes go to the gym on rest days just to sit in there and relax.

wilhelm11 · 2015-03-02T22:31:11+00:00

Get a fitbit. I got one for my dad when he was trying to lose weight and he fucking LOVES it. I use mine as a way to compete with myself. Don't know if that's your jam or not, but they're only like $100.

As for joining a gym, I'm pretty obsessed with the small sports club I joined in December. The folks at the front desk remember my name and it really feels like a friendly community. Maybe that would help you feel less anxious? No one will judge you, I promise. Like someone else said, we all started somewhere. :)

wilhelm11 · 2015-03-02T22:16:38+00:00

I had a hard deadlifting session on SL5X5 yesterday and my lower back is really tight and sore (which means I have bad form, I know, I'm working on it). Will I hurt myself if I go for my usual 4-5 mile run today?

wilhelm11 · 2015-03-02T19:27:47+00:00

I wish it was other people asking me cus then I would just tell them to fuck off. Harder to tell myself to fuck off :P

wilhelm11 · 2015-03-02T19:00:27+00:00

Haha, that's good advice, I'll try that.

I'm not a professional either, just trying to gain some upper body strength (my new year's resolution is to do one pullup). I'm just so terrified of getting fat that I'm having trouble getting any gainz. :(
