It's official. We are now holding a date. As much as I want to jump up and down and be all excited, I will not. Not until we are officially engaged. After I showed The Boy the available dates, he thought it'd be a good idea to hold one. After much thought on my part (and great advice from all of you!) I decided to inquire about it. I was not in any mind to put money down on a place when we are not even engaged. As it turns out, you can put a hold on a date for free!! What it means is that you receive frist right of refusal. So if between now and whenever we actually get engaged, someone wants that day, The coodinator will call me and ask me what I would like to do. At that point we either have to pay and officially reserve the place or we can release the day to other people. The coordinator was trying to have us set up an appointment but as I previously said, I will NOT go to see this place unless we are engaged. I managed to put off the appointment until at least July. What the hell I'm going to say to them in July to put it off again is seriously beyond me, but hey, we can get creative lol.
In other news, there have been consultants in our office doing an IT project for a few months now. The one sitting in the cubicle next to me is about 30 seconds away from a karate chop to the throat. Seriously. He is from a foreign country originally and perhaps not aware of what is normal office behavior in the corporate world. As soon as he sits down in the morning, he eats his breakfast. Normal right? WRONG. He chews with his mouth open so that all the world gets to enjoy the sounds of his bagel or apple or whatever!! It is so gross that I have to get up and walk away. I mean, why should I have to get up and stop working (aka reading blogs, playing text twist on facebook) so that he can chew like a jerk! grrrr. It only gets worse.... while eating, the digestive gasses start flowing. Chew chew chew chew....burrrrrrp. The first time it happened I was shocked. I actually turned and stared at him with my mouth agape. I thought mayeb it was a one time thing, so I went back to my work and no kidding, less then 5 minutes later he was burping again. EVERY TIME this man eats it's the same damn thing. chew chew chew chew burrrp. Ahhhh. The first day I sucked it up and said nothing thinking maybe he was sick or something. But after 2 straight days I went to HR and bitched like a baby because if I had to deal with it myself, it wouldn't be pretty. lol
This morning, he farted!! Oh Lordy I swear one more time and it's Bruce Lee style up in here!

THats soooooo gross. Its cubicles in my office and more than once there is this one lady that coughs like the gross phlem-y cough. Every time it has happened I have actually left my desk gagging. EW
That is disgusting. That is a tough spot to be in but if it gets to bad, talk to his supervior. That is a supervisory issue.
As for the date.....OMG!! You must be completely freaked out. I would be but I am glad that things are moving ahead. Worry about it in July and just enjoy the fact that you are most likely getting engaged soon. Yay:)
It sounds like you sit next to my husband. I love that man, but he has the worst table manners. He chews loudly with his mouth open, burps and doesn't think to stifle it or say excuse me...it's so gross! I can't blame him because it is his parents that he learned this behavior from. Imagine me coming out of my skin on Thanksgiving with the inlaws. Smacking, open mouthed food filled conversations, dressing all over their lips, lettuce in their teeth...gag.
When Jeff has a dinner meeting, I remind him to chew with his mouth closed but I doubt he remembers.
