Poor ita (I mean that sincerely.) It's really disconcerting when your body suddenly changes. I've gone through several rearrangements that just confound me. When I lost a bunch of weight due to severe illness and a growth spurt, it seemed like nothing worked right. Not clothes, not movement.
You know what? I'm really hating my job now. I've hated it in the past, sure, but had gotten to where I could at least see some point to it. Now? I just...don't. Part I think is missing my officemate. Part is the fallout from that. I'm feeling pretty useless, and pretty much cast aside. Managers keep coming by to "check" on me, and that's just making it seem more futile. They check, but whenever I've lobbied to take on new work, I'm told how someone else volunteered or been otherwise shoved off (because I was fucking GONE the first 3 days after the official layoffs.) I kinda want to train backup and walk. But I don't know what to walk to. Sigh.
Whine whine whine.
Back from yoga. I feel both energized and relaxed, which I suppose is the point.
I think ita and I need to do an exchange. I'll show how to eat a lot, she can give me some of her drive to exercise.
NEW JOB NEW JOB!!
But you know that's my answer for everything. At least in my head.
So, I'm watching the OC, and I have two questions:
1) How come
I never get a happy/romantic montage. I want a montage!!!
2) What's up
with shady Jeri Ryan? Shay-dee.
BOGALUSA, La. – Before we leave Bogalusa, an update on how FEMA is dealing with hurricane refugees at Red Cross shelters.
As noted here two days ago, the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s decision to ask evacuees to call (800) 621-3362 or browse to www.fema.gov to start the process of filing a claim for disaster assistance was greeted with disbelief by most relief workers we talked to, who noted that most of these people don’t have ready access to telephones.
It turns out, according to a Red Cross worker here, the response is even a bigger Catch-22 than I realized.
It turns out, according to the worker, who like the other aid workers spoke on condition of anonymity, that the call to the FEMA number does not open a claim; it results in a package containing the claim form being mailed to the address of the evacuee.
Since the evacuee is in a shelter, mail service has been suspended in many of the hardest hit areas and some of the homes are likely still under water, it seems clear that those claim forms won’t be mailed back any time soon.
Jesse, re #2
Kirsten will be assimilated.
Sarameg, I vote with Jesse.
ita, are you going to keep running, or let it slide?
Yay for feeling all Yogaey, Theodosia.
I was right about not liking today.
I heard a rumor that tomorrow is Friday. PLEASE say it's true? Somebody?

The rumour is a scurrilous lie.
Today is Friday. Mmmm, Friday.
