Ginger - I may just wear RTFM on my sleeve (thx to thinkgeekers who believe my wardrobe needs more black [! as if ... though I am 1 less pair of black boots...]). She wouldn't notice if I tattooed it on my forehead. It will be tucked under a jacket of some sort, instead. How's your voice?
DH is learning quickly about the spicy sparkliness and general brains. He's a good DH. Just knows that when I speak ill of someone, they're usually about to sit down at the next table.
I think reinforcing the external force bringing us together/joint effort is an excellent idea
I agree. I have to train people a lot. When they resist I find it helpful to pull them away from their usual office too because they will be continuously doing some other thing. We both hate this. Let's get through it quickly could work.
Thanks for supportive-y thoughts and whatnot. I mean, I do see that she has a point, and the guidelines are there. I'm just... not very savvy with this stuff yet. I work at learning, but some of this stuff, it's like I don't understand the language to even go find it. The subject matter I'm good at, it's the dissertation training (note: I am not in a Ph.D. program) that I'm trying like hell to pick up on the fly. So, I totally get her point, and subsequently, I feel like a horse's ass. But I'm letting it go. I could have found the information in a better way, she could have maybe not been so harsh about it. (I don't need to be handheld, but shit, I don't need to be told to fuck off.)
Anyway. Yes, the letting go is a slow process, but hopefully a good night's sleep will help with that. Thanks, y'all.
(can someone explain the bees?)
(ps- sorry for whining about this, I just have Teh Issues regarding disapproval from authority figures)
(I'll be all better tomorrow!)
Still no voice, but at least I seem to have stopped being a snot machine.
It's possible that doing the huge amount of work I did outside, plus the painting inside was not the wisest plan. On the other hand, I almost have the garden shed sort of organized, which may be a miracle. I discovered a number of things that I had replaced because I couldn't find them.
The painting I'm doing just the cabinet over the stove, so there's a plastic dropcloth between me and cooking. I think I'm having toast for dinner.
exclamation points...explanation points
Had to laugh at this. Dad taught me to call them shriek marks. Which I did, until my 3rd-grade teacher got on my case about it.
Blah.
Barely made any money on the sale today. Big stuff still here. They are getting listed on CL, as we speak.
I am also so freaking behind in school, it is ridiculous.
