Looks like I'm eligible to receive a full 30 days compensation because they withheld that one little 6-hour paycheck.

Shiny!

Yay for smarty MG!

yay Katie Bee!

Yay MG

I just got home from the hospital. I think I had one of the most unprofessional doctors I've ever seen. She went on and on about how often I see the "shrink" then told me that my cough was all in my head. Apparently, I can psychologically decide to turn it off.

ok - asthma can get worse if you are under stress, but that doesn't mean it is in your head, it means your body is reacting to stress. That would be like saying the rise in my blood sugar that happens when I am stressed ( physically or mentally) Is something I could just decide to fix. Write the letter vw

{{Gud}} I have positive feeling for your family. It sounds to me like you both care about your kids, so things can work out well if you are both keeping that in mind. I am guessing the real fault is the different turns you both have taken in how you see life, not anyone's imperfctions. May you both get back to the stage where you remember that perfection is not that way things are - or even a part of the plan. and I'm sending you extra peace and support to help you through this time.

So, MG, how are the kids taking that "early college" advice? Are they nodding sagely, or rolling their eyes and snorting, planning to waste away their youth with rock and roll?

{{{Gud}}} Strength to you.

As the child of parents who had nothing in common but myself and my sister, I used to cry myself to sleep at night wishing they'd get divorced and be happy.

You too? Of course, I followed that up with tears of terror that my mother would get custody. I had a detailed escape plan, if that happened.

Health~ma to Tep's dad...and to vw and sj, although it sounds like the drugs should help. Neat doctor there, vw. Sounds like she's of the opinion that her job would be so much easier if people just weren't ever sick.

KB, that's totally amusing me. I hope Labor Relations eats She-Horror's lunch.

OK, I can't beleive it, but I am actually going to class tonight.

I hope I don't fall asleep on the subway.

Of course, I followed that up with tears of terror that my mother would get custody. I had a detailed escape plan, if that happened.

Oh good Lord yes. A world of yes.

The worst part is that they're still together. And hating every minute of it. I can't bear to be in a room with them both at the same time. Luckily that rarely happens.

I just got a phone call. I've got a job with the company I interviewed with twice. It's $8K/year more than the last place that I worked, but it does involve an hour drive each way. Office casual, so I have to wear my nicer clothes.

Still? Job! I start Thursday.

I called Andi at work already.

YAY DANIEL!!!

Excellent news, Daniel!

That is wonderful news Daniel! Yay!
