Em called me "mama".
Woohoo!
And the big boss I was bitching about last week got the boot.
Note to self: Try to stay on Aimee's good side.
eta: Poor Leif. I hope he is feeling better.
Xander: Am I right, Giles? Giles: I'm almost certain you're not. Though, to be fair, I haven't been

yay, Aimee! Did it make you all sniffly? Franny said Daddy long before she would say Mama, so when she did, my first reaction was "it's about damn time!"

move out and draw fire
I used a headhunter prior to going to the company I'm (sorta) with now. I have mixed feelings about it. They get paid by the companies, so they were desperate to shoehorn me into a job that was all wrong for me, and it was verbal judo to stay out of it and keep them looking.
OTOH, I would never have applied to the company I ended up with, and it was a great fit, with a great salary, and I've stayed with them, if the headhunter hadn't hooked me up with them.
Poor sick Leif.
Grapefruit was my main craving during pregnancy. I'm normally meh on it - I can eat it, but it's not my first choice. And my family put salt on it, not sugar. (I use neither).

Leif is already doing a lot better. Once he started taking antibiotics, he improved very quickly.

I never liked grapefruit until I learned to peel the bitter membrane and just eat the lovely pulp.

They get paid by the companies,
Yay! 'Cause I have, basically, negative bucks at the moment.

Not so yay. Oh, well. If I say "no" to something and the recruiter never speaks to me again it'll leave me pretty much where I am now. And it's not like I'm gonna stop looking on my own.

I have a problem with grapefruit and oranges where I can never get quite enough of the membrane off. I was told that it comes right off if you boil the orane, but then, you have a boiled orange, which sounds less appetizing to me. i guess I should stick to apples and pears.

You should try tangerines and tangelos - they peel more readily and have less membrane.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I used to eat grapefruit by slicing it in half and using a grapefruit spoon. No membrane that way.
