NWR: Can't WW at my new job :(
MelissaC in Community Conversations, on February 8, 2015 at 8:47 PM

This place seems like a really good place otherwise, but I no longer have my own office. I share a four person cubicle so there's no hiding WW . Guess I won't be on as much anymore during work hours....

NWR: I just got laid off
MelissaC in Planning, on January 20, 2015 at 7:09 PM

Yup. 2 weeks before my wedding, 1 week before my birthday, 1 month before our honeymoon, and right when we're in the middle of house renovations. Yeah that just happened. That's all.

So I had to work the front desk yesterday when our receptionist got sick, which means signing for packages. When you sign for a package, they always ask your last name. That got me thinking about why...
