That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Fashion help!

I need to go get glasses, I have an eye appointment today.

What sort of glasses would look good on me? I have NO IDEA. And, well, I'm going blind over here. I'll have to wear them all the time.

Even if the ration thing weren't an issue (and it should be) don't you get to know if someone *new* is coming in to watch your child/ren?

I read the upping of the ratio as they were taking away teachers.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Yay vacation! You are taking a camera so we can all see the pictures and be horribly envious, right?

Of course.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Speaking of making things easy (go descriptivist! Choose descriptivist!), I was in a division-wide meeting/lecture this morning, and wrote down what EBIDTA stands for (Earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation, and amortization).

Turns out that big scary acronym is the budgetary equivalent of park-adjusted hitting -- taking figures and bleeding out the lies of circumstance.

Why didn't they just say so!

information libertarian

They are adding new kids, and not adding new teachers. They'll still be within state law ratios, but will be above the limit they state is their policy at the center. And IMO the room is already on the small side for the number of kids (currently 12, with 2 teachers).

Alyson, rhinestone cats-eye, of course. Purple. (I'm serious, but also, seriously, I bet they have someone who gives style advice at the eye doctor, based on your face shape and stuff. I mean, you do live in LA, right?)

I think Cat's Eye glasses would be cute on you.

But that's my default. What style of sunglasses look best on you? You can use that as a startng point, and go from there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think cat's eyes would be good.

Krav sold! I need a raise.

Oh flea, I find that in LA, all the fashion people are sort of like my friends who have set me up on blind dates and when I see the dude I realize that those friends obviously hate me.

My hairdresser tortures my hair into something straight that makes my face look like a disaster, makeup people compare me to Camryn Manheim, clothing people offer me mumus.

I need to count on people who actually care about me for these things.
