Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
Look, I know it's gross, but I have somehow contracted pink eye. Normally I would blame my roommates, since two of them are children, but nobody else has it AND I wasn't even home all weekend. Yet I woke up with my eye basically glued shut.
On the bright side, I had to stay home from work today and I turned it into a very productive day. Considering weaseling my way out of working tomorrow, too, haha.
I'm cursed. I get eye crud easily. I've had pink eye like 10 times. I know. Mesosexy.
I've been mostly off the grid since shortly after the Inforoo brunch when I got the news that my father-in-law passed away. I left Bonnaroo immediately without much of a goodbye. I spent the next two weeks in Michigan, the first week due to funeral and arrangements and family. The second week due to the fact that some douchebag convinced my father-in-law to sign a new will leaving everything to him. We never saw the notarized version, but we did see a shady scribbled copy. There are a over a dozen shady notes my wife and I made about this guy. He lied to our faces about several things and we're far from convinced that my father-in-law died without some sort of foul play. Unfortunately, there's no sort of proof, and we could be wrong. On the bright side, we got the house and he ended up with 2 four wheelers, and if he's caught with them, he's going to jail, because they legally belong to my wife. His will, if it really exists, shows up, and can be proven valid, is useless to him at this point.
I made so many friends here that I felt like giving some sort of explanation.

I have only had pink eye once, for like 3 months. Every time it would finally go away, I would get it again even worse. The fucking pits.
Also, I just read about what you have been dealing with. I am sorry for your loss and then the drama. Hope things are looking up.
I do not like to complain all that much. I am a pretty easy going person, so most things I can roll with, good or bad. Sometimes circumstances pile up in a way that requires an outlet.
As most of you know I lost my job (laid off) a few months ago. I tried seeing it as a positive, but things did not necessarily go the way I planned so I have been on the hunt for a new job for awhile now. It is an inherently frustrating process, especially when you are looking for a job you know your heart will not be 100 percent into. So far not a lot of responses...but these things never go as quickly as you want them to.
My sweet dog Mickey is having major health issues. Has problems with his kidneys and lower GI not absorbing protein, some fluid in his belly, and mild arthritis. I know he feels crappy and really does not have an understanding why and that we are doing everything we can to help him. I just hate seeing him not being his usual self. Hopefully after a night in the doggy hospital, trips to the vet and seeing an internal medicine specialist we can get these things under control and he can feel better. This is really our last chance to do so, if this does not work we will not let him live out his final years in pain or severe discomfort. It breaks my heart to think about losing him. Most of you know how this feels. It is gut-wrenching.
I was recently screwed over by a fellow photographer I considered my friend. I will not go into too much detail but it had to do with a project that was discussed and developed in an open conversation...then executed without me. It may be nothing...but it has the potential to be something...and it looks like I will not get any of the credit or financial rewards if they come to pass. Believe me, I could use every penny at this point, but it is the worst to be treated this way by a supposed friend. Lesson learned.
There I got it all out. Hopefully when I post again it will be in the YAY thread. I do not enjoy posting in this thread.

I'm sorry to hear this. This is all sucky on multiple levels. I hope things turn around for you soon and your dog's condition improves.

This is the first time I've ever had it and it's so ridiculously inconvenient and disgusting, haha. I'm on day two off work and as much as I thought it would be great to be off again, this makes four days in a row with the weekend, and I'm bored. So bored. My house is spotless and organized. And I went through and disinfected everything today. I live with a 7-year-old and a toddler. If the toddler catches it, all hell will break loose. I don't even know how we would contain it if she caught it, haha.

Sterilize EVERYTHING! I would NOT want to be around a toddler with pink eye. Also, trying to keep tiny fingers out of eyes to get rid of pink eye sounds like a nightmare. You would need one of those puppy cones for the toddler. lol

Going in for face surgery on Friday. First time ever really being cut open. And it's on my face. Not really a "grrr" but more of a nervous thing and not looking forward to it. Also going to have a nifty little scar on my cheek afterwords. So I won't be as pretty as I currently am . But maybe it'll look cool and I can make up stories about it.
Nowhere near the level of problem that others seem to be having. Just venting about some anxiety. I always go to the worst case scenario with things and get more worried about complications/issues than I should. Googling up stuff doesn't help either. Planning on spending Friday and Saturday in bed/on the couch just being lazy and maybe popping a pain pill or two if I get any.

Haha stay away from Google. It's the devil in situations like this. You'll be fine. And if the surgery is serious enough for them to put you under, you'll probably get painkillers. They gave me an incredibly unnecessary amount when I had my little cyst removed. I'd probably have been fine with just Tylenol, but the doc said I needed percs so I wasn't gonna argue.

Thanks! I remember you talking about Herman now lol. I'm having (what they believe to be) a cyst removed from my face, on my left cheek. I am sure it will be alright but I always just worry and assume people are incompetent. They are putting me under which I'm happy about (I would not be able to handle being awake while they slice and cut at my cheek....even if it was numb).
I plan to spend most of Saturday watching shit and playing video games while laying around with face pain. Also hoping I'll be able to get stitches out before Newport Folk Fest.

Also I suggest being diligent and liberal with Neosporin (and cocoa butter after the wound closes). I said fuck it a few too many times so it took longer to heal, and almost a full year later I've still got a pretty noticeable scar.

I've been looking forward to the beginning of July for a long, long time, because it marks the beginning of my 6th year here at lovely old Barnes & Noble, which means I get an extra week of vacation time. Or so I thought. Turns out they don't start counting your years until after becoming full time, which was only four years ago, not five. This was one of the few things that kept me from looking for a different job this past year (which is admittedly a silly reason), because I was really looking forward to not having to save my vacation time for an entire year in order to do Roo (my calendar year for personal time goes from July-June). I've already got flights/tickets purchased for a few different things between now and the end of September, and I'm using my vacation time to do it. Now since I'm apparently not getting the extra week I thought I was, I won't get a day off at all between October and June of next year if I still want to go to Roo. Which I do.
Yay work.

My girlfriend wants to go to a wake for someone whose grandchild she has a tenuous acquaintance with from high school. She asked me to go so that it's less awkward for her. I have absolutely no idea who any of these people are.
When I tried to get out of it, she says "it's the right thing to do," and her mother nodded along and said it's the right thing to do. Guess who isn't going to the wake, mother of girlfriend who is condescendingly suggesting that I'm a bad person for not wanting to go see a dead body of a complete 100% stranger. Thanks.

Of the many things Western Europe does better than the US significantly more vacation time might be the best (you know after the healthcare, paid maternity leave, cheap or free college, etc)

My sister recently started a position at J&J (where where her husband already works). I forgot the exact numbers, but they offer something like 18 weeks maternity and 8 weeks paternity. They figured out that if they have another child then someone can be home for almost 6 months. Not bad, J&J. Not bad. And apparently as long as you get your work done, you don't have to "take vacation time." Also very lenient with working from home, working on Fridays...

Some people have figured out that happy, healthy, and relaxed employees are so much more efficient and productive. Seems pretty obvious, but apparently it's a hard concept to grasp.

God forbid you know, the labor force actually has a good morale and expects things. It'll just cut in on the bottom line.
