d, I meant to say earlier, tons of ~ma to your dad and all of you.
sj, prayers for your friend and her baby. 22 weeks is terribly early. I think you're doing all you can, right now. Once your friend gets home from the hospital, she'll probably need more practical support (rides to the hospital, meals, cleaning, etc.)
Thanks, Cindy. She's actually home now. She had the baby on the second, and was calling to apologize for not calling me on my birthday, the crazy girl. I'm kicking myself because I had an inkling something was wrong last week when she didn't call, and I feel I should have checked in on her. She doesn't seem to want anyone around right now, but I'm going to keep calling her to check up on her. I don't have children, but I can only imagine that this must be the worst feeling in the world for her.
Ugh, sj. That's scary. Prayers and ~ma to your friend and the baby boy.
In memememe news, I've got about the worst migraine I've had in a while. I should have left prayer meeting early because of it, but I didn't want to. Now I'm paying for it. I hope the meds kick in soon, but I'm afraid it's too far gone for meds. Blech.
I decided I needed to see a movie tonight. I am now at the theatre waiting for Transformers to start in ten minutes.
There is a HUGE industry for virtual assistants
Are there virtual naggers?
I actually sort of enjoy invoicing and filing. It's a finite project with a concrete end in sight. And the getting paid for participating part is kinda sweet.
I am Katerina in this. Dude, really!?! I can organize shit, sometimes do creative stuff, sometimes do simple tasks and work with lots of different industries? Not to mention not having to answer the same stupid questions for the forseeable future, but possibly getting new and exciting stupid questions!?!
Sign me up! (Googling like mad over here).
I mentioned elsewhere that I'm getting burnt out. It makes me sad because I like helping people and I like the work I do, but a lot of stuff outside of my area has been added, and while I initially enjoyed the education, there aren't enough hours even in a 45* hour work week to do it all, and I don't like it when what I feel like is a good thing to do is all boiled down to "we all know it's about the numbers."
*Actually, I worked it out the other day and it's more like 50+ and for my skills and less than $30,000, it gets a little depressing.

I'm just popping in to pass on the WTF news that Seattle reached 97 degrees today, and now at 7:10 in the evening, it's still 94. Apparently, according to the website I check for weather, this not only makes us significantly warmer than San Fran or L.A, it also makes us warmer than Reno, NV.
Really, WTF?
I bet Cass got boiled in Portland.
Are there virtual naggers?
This is an apt job description, really.

Another apt job description.
Plus, VAs can specialize in industries they enjoy.

God help me, I'm watching Beauty and the Beast and having a massive, comforting 80s flashback. I remember it being the most romantic thing ever...and, except for the shoulder pads and the...okay, kittylove...I'm relishing it.
eta: I didn't remember Vincent's resemblance to Dee Snyder...but hey, still romantic.
If she sucks like a hoover you might have to seek legal council.
Depends on the part of Canada I think.
Shit, her
name
is Alberta; she lives in Vancouver....
