sj, I'm sorry to say, but I think you're getting the cold shoulder at work. I don't think they'll offer you much now that the holiday season is over. You probably need to find a new (less insane) job.
I'm well aware of this Hec. Everyone is getting this treatment at work (I've asked around), and we have all been informed that holiday help ends on February 16th. I have been looking for work (just no luck so far), but I am holding out hoping to get some money in the next couple of weeks before Valentine's day, because it is a lingerie shop after all. I am frustrated that I am not being kept after the holidays, because I have never not been kept at a job after the holidays. I am usually one of the people that management likes, but me and this job were not a good fit.
Yay, Aidan!!! Yay, Deena!!!
Trudy -- I found a painting similar on a site about the School of Fontainebleau - I swear that there is also one of Diane of Poitiers and another woman similar to the one of Gabriella d'Estrees and her sister.
Yes! In fact, I need to start looking at dates and flights and stuff.
brenda, Southwest has some flights for $99 each way from Midway to Oakland. IJS.
The dream was nasty and lingering, but I talked to the BF, too, and that helped. It's slowly fading.

Only half an hour left to go and yet they make me go STABBY STABBY STABBY.
The dream was nasty and lingering
I've been having really vivid dreams for a bit now and sometimes they are really hard to shake off. Mine are getting a little better, or at least easier to shake off as dreams and not feeling so real once I wake up.
I hope it continues to fade for you.
So, for instance, that he can stack 10 blocks (1"x1") one on top of another without missing or knocking them over is better than many 3 and 4 year olds can do, but he didn't understand stacking until he suddenly got it, later than other children do, and then he could do 9 or 10 right away; none of this namby-pamby 2 or 3 block business.
Deena, this may or may not be true in Aidan's case. My kids' Montessori school said that some children "hide skills till they're perfected": they make all their progress internally, cognitively, until they're ready to do the whole damned thing at once. My son was like that -- he went from not writing at all to writing fluently in something like a week. The teacher said she'd never seen such an extreme case.
My office just had cake in the breakroom for Mozart.
I love my office.
