Friday anticipation thread

I haven't a clue what your dog looks like. Got a picture?

I have a cat myself. Her name is Cabbage. She actually eats flowers—mostly bells, mimosa, and clover... 😍

Are you feeling better now, dear?😘

I mourned the loss, sure. Let's move on. 😁

Laura Ruiz74 said:Where did hiddenmarlin14 run off to?

Don't even ask. Yesterday was one of those days that I don't even know how to describe. 🙂
Rough morning. I knocked out two exams and squeezed in rehearsals with my two students beforehand. Basically spent an hour at the music academy for something that should have taken me twenty minutes tops.
An hour break, then back at it from 10:30 to 1:00 for two more tests and another exam. Just what my day needed.
A thirty-minute break. I spent it working with a flute student who has her big exam next week. No rest for the weary—my other student is coming in next, and I already went off on her like a drill sergeant. 🙂
Half an hour into my break, and my student walks in all smiles, telling me she’s finally finished with Beethoven. We get started, and turns out she actually knocked out the latest Chopin piece. 😳 These are the exact kinds of situations that get under my skin. Honestly, I’d almost prefer if she just admitted she hadn't hit the gym once all week. 😠
Forty-five minutes left of break. Some kid just told me her older sister warned her not to work out at home, otherwise "the curse" would fall on their house. So, naturally, she only sticks to gym class. 🙂
And then they throw two more quick tests at you without even giving you a breather.
Running home right now because I managed to forget my keys for the choir rehearsal spot. I’ve been hunting for them like a total maniac, but no luck. Honestly, I’ll just head there without them since one of the other ladies has a spare. Rehearsal goes until 9:00, followed by gossip until 9:30, then beers until 11:00. My ride showed up to pick me up, but I haven't even eaten lunch or dinner yet. I haven't actually been home all day, and after wasting the entire day searching, I feel like I’ve accomplished absolutely nothing. 🙂
Don't forget, that wasn't even my scheduled Thursday. On a normal week, I have nothing going on except choir rehearsal in the evening. This whole thing was completely unhinged. ☕

I have a cat. Her name is Cabbage. She eats flowers—specifically lilies, mimosa, and primroses. 😍

The neighbor's dog is out there grazing on the lawn and dragging branches around like he owns the place. Honestly, if I actually had a wood-burning stove, I’d just send him straight into the woods to fetch the logs—we’d have enough fuel for the whole winter. 🥳

So, Friday's finally here. Now what? ☕

Friday👋
🙂🙂

hiddenmarlin14 said:So, Friday finally rolled around. Big deal. ☕

I suppose I’m expected to actually enjoy a free weekend now.😁

🥳

😢

stormyraven14, I’m off today. How about you? 🥳

What about today? 🤣

Just waiting... it's stinging a bit... 😢

Even though today is technically my day off, I went ahead and scheduled some extra rehearsals anyway. ☕

Total workaholic 😁
you've got Friday, Monday, and Tuesday off, so really nothing... 😁

you’ve got Friday, Monday, and Tuesday to deal with, and absolutely nothing 😁

Don't even get me started on Fridays; they're usually my busiest days 🙄 man, it is scorching hot over here 😳

They’ve cranked the AC back up here again—halfway through summer and I'm probably going to end up with a sinus infection from this... 😠

Laura Ruiz74... I was wondering—did you happen to make it out to the Cheesecake Factory? ☕

stormyraven14 said:They cranked the AC back up again. At this rate, I’ll have a sinus infection before the summer is even halfway over. 😠

Just chill out for a second with some coffee. Grab a pen too—get those fingers moving and maybe you'll finally settle down. 😳 Just watch your back—make sure nobody’s watching you. 🧐 😬 🥳

It’s just one of those massive commercial HVAC systems—you know, the kind you find in a glass skyscraper... Honestly, I feel like I could just bring the whole building down if I wanted to... 😍

bombs... 😍

stormyraven14 said:It’s just central AC for an office building. A glass skyscraper... I might as well just level the whole block. 😍

bombs 😍

Short the circuit. No AC, no lights, no computer 🥳 forced day off 🙂

I'm actually giving it some serious thought—honestly, half the other companies and offices in this building do more harm than good for this dysfunctional country anyway... 😬

Well, there you have it. Rest easy knowing someone installed a fan in the CEO's private restroom. 🥳 😬 Look, you just have to sacrifice some guy blowing on his hands to think he’s actually feeling an AC breeze. 🥳

I don't really use hair dryers anyway—honestly, I could live without one entirely. And having two? Good grief, let's not get carried away! 😬
