Thanks, everyone! I'm actually starting to get a bit nervous. I've cut time close today. I have therapy at noon, then the interview at 2. I need to get home, change, put on make-up and stuff then get back out the door. I don't have much of a window, so I hope the subway is running in a timely fashion. Today would be just the day for it to run late!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Job ~ma, vw! May the wage they offer be on the + side of what they advertise!

Hee! I actually can't take *much* more money than what they advertised, because I can't make too much money...otherwise I'll be kicked off Social Security. So, I'm kind of hoping they don't offer me much more, 'cause I don't want to have to deal with that. But, it would be nice for the ego :).
Of course I only did that at home.
Laura, nowadays you probably could hook up a web cam and make some serious bank with that.
Kristin, toothpaste on a soft cloth works nicely for a tarnished tiara. Or a paper towel because who the hell has a soft cloth?
Ooo, thanks, Trudy!

Disturbed that this is probably true.
Laura, I wishwishwish I had had a better experience. I'm going to try with the next one--only with a little more realistic expectations and a lot less guilt.

Well, then I hope they give you as much $$ as you can possibly make, and then take you out to lunch a lot!

That's the spirit! I firmly believe in avoiding guilt WRT things like this. It inhibits let down, honest!
Also, stock up on those second skin burn pad things--they're great on cracked, bruised, and bloodied nipples.
Laura's idea for filling the bags is great, and that's so much more practical than getting milk all over the bed, the baby, and your body. Next time I nurse braless, I'll have to try it.
Batman has his own Library of Congress call number.

I just think that's cool.

There is plenty of opportunity for guilt over pre-school choices, discipline choices, and all the other child rearing choices we make. You just do the best you can, and if later you find a better plan change your mind without guilt.
I'm trying to stress less about the boys. I may not be world's best mom, but I'm not so rotten that they'll end up being serial killers. The big problem is having adequate time to spend with them. I'm hiring several more people now to try and reduce our work burden.
