Happy BIrthday, SUZI!
Robin, I am sorry you need the more invasive of the surgeries but glad that there is relief in sight. You have suffered too much and it is nice that soon this will all be over. And, of course, you have a wonderful husband and friends to coddle you through the first of the recovery time. Think of the dvds you'll see.
Of course, I was awaken at 7 by my mother calling to find out if I had slept. Um...yes, but I guess no more.
One of my least favorite calls, I have to say.
I did finally sleep. Slept in too late but no big. It was even good sleep. It was just at the wrong time sleep.
What I have learned: Healing tattoo, so far hasn't bothered me a bit. Wee blister I got yesterday because I of some shoes, has not stopped annoying me for the last 24 hours. Ima go barefoot from now on. Who's moving with me to an island?
Matt gave his BigBoss a list of skill set. Matt was impressed with himself - BigBoss blanched.
Go Matt! Sad that they will only really appreciate him after he is gone though.
My boss looked at me and said, "Whatever were you drinking, you had too many."
Heh.
I blame the fact that they serve champagne with tea. That's what got us going!
We had an after work going away thing for a woman I used to work with and we started drinking champagne. I got home very late in a cab and felt like hell the next morning.
DxH asked what I'd been drinking.
Champagne, I replied somewhat weakly.
How much did you drink?
All of it?
Going back a bit to the bit where somebody (Cashmere?) linked to this article about teacher mentors...
I expect I'll leave after 4-5 years. But it's not just because I think I'll be fed up and frustrated - if that were the case, I'd just transfer to a cushy job in the suburbs or a magnet school (which lots of good teachers at urban schools end up doing, yet another factor in the huge turnover rate at tough schools) and teach a BC calculus course to overachievers while coaching the Academic Decathlon team.
Mostly, though, I just don't think I'm likely to do
anything
for more than 5-6 years. Variety is the spice of life and all that. I want my life to involve at least five different careers, and possibly at least two or three more degrees. Linguistics, modern art history, theater production...
For Joan of Arcadia fans: Amber Tamblyn is apparently a big partier or something?
I think we'd get along. She should call me.
Go Matt! Sad that they will only really appreciate him after he is gone though
It isn't that they don't appreciate him - It is more that they don't really understand what his team does, and that due to a number of issues, ( Matt is the only person on his team w/ any degree is only one of them),they are very inexpensive. and experience with bothe the tech and talking tech to people who aren't tech - or only know bootstrap tech , or day to day tech is a big skill.
DH came up with a way for his team to make money. the $$ could have paid for trainning, a new person, and added to infrastrcture $$ budget. plus a bit of profit for the co. and it was steady $$ - in a project based business. he was told " the client doesn't want it " - which actually they did - they were just getting it for free. and if ( when ) the clients have to go outside for this kind of support- they will be paying 3 to 4 times what DH was proposeing.
I'm trying to decide whether to go to Shabbat services/dinner tonight. There's a dinner that I signed up for that I want to go to -- interesting program, and a bunch of people I haven't seen in a while are going to be there. But, I'm still not feeling that great, and I know that my stomach will not be able to handle the kind of food they usually serve at these things.
(Also, there are a zillion Jewish-community type things that I want to discuss with people who'll actually care, and some of the people there will, but I'm not sure I'm quite up for getting dressed up and across town right now.)
Oh, they're going to be totally fucked when Matt leaves. They're going to get serious sticker shock when they try to replace him.
"I'm so stuffy; give me a scone."
I love this show.
Hey there folks. For a number of reasons I'm closing the doors on my old company and starting up a new one under a DBA here in California. All this is fine and good except for the one tricky part. I'm having a hell of a time coming up with a name that also has a web domain that I can use. I was going to literally go with Noise Design, but that domain is taken.
Any ideas?
Any ideas?
Sonic Reducer?
Sonic...Inducer?
Sonic the Hedgehog dot com? (might be taken)
Sorry, I just like sonic.
