I've already given her "YOU MUST CHILL" a couple of times this week, but today she's totally in the wig spiral. I'm not sure how to handle it.

Is there a private place you can go with her, or even take a walk outside, where she can fully get her wig on (cry or rant or whatever) and, maybe, get it out of her system? (this what my boss has done with me--a sometimes, mostly sort of reformed, wigger and it's worked pretty well.)

Hey, does Target have thoe photo kiosks where you can plug in a flash drive with pix on it and print them? My grocery store does, but it had an out of order sign on it and I'd like to get prints of the pictures I took of N before Sunday.

I didn't realize we worked together and that I was wigging that much.

You can upload your pics to Flickr and order prints, sara.

Given dialup and mailing times, that option doesn't work this time. I'm trying to avoid the internets.

Trust my rage

sara, I was at a Super Target in Durham once that had the kiosk you are describing. I'm not sure if it's standard.

I'm going to go read about TB lawyer, but can it really be a coincidence that he FIL works in TB research and he has a rare strain? It sounds like a movie plot to me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw, sorry, Suzi.

She works from home, in California, which is definitely contributing to the wiggage. I know how that goes -- you get yourself all worked up into a frenzy with no one to help you down. What I've actually done is take most of the wig-worthy project off her desk for the moment, and then when it's done (Monday, god willing), we can have a chat. It's a quandary, because she has legitimate issues, but they aren't issues we (she and I) can really do anything about, so the freaking out is just counterproductive. I've definitely been in her spot, and actually am not sure why I'm not there now myself!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It sounds like a movie plot to me.

A SciFi Channel original movie.

ah, yeah, that complicates things. It really sounds like you are doing all you can to help her out. Maybe she'll be able to chill over the weekend.

Jesse - in all seriousness. When I get in that place - and I've been there a lot lately - it is usually cause I'm frustrated by a lack of information. Well, and a lack of control, but I'm freaky about that. I know it, I own it.
