We discovered this weekend by accident that she is calling everything in baltimore 'real'.
This reminds me of Calvin Trillin's pride when his 4-year-old daughter, raised in New York, said "Daddy, how come in Kansas City the bagels taste like just round bread?"
Oh, indirect communication in midst of stress is extra tough. I hope your sister talks to you soon, Laga, and that the situation is resolved in some positive way.
My temp job did a massive overhaul of their computer system over the weekend. The two results this monday were: (1) I was blocked from B.org and all other forums type places. (I think more people can expect this with new upgrades.); (2) The calendaring software we use (in the Calendar Department) wasn't installed. So we couldn't do any work all day.
Fortunately my boss is cool and let me stay instead of sending me home without temp pay. And I worked on my book edits most of the day.
But I can't see B.org from work now.

Tragedy! I hate when things get blocked that I'm used to seeing at work. Recently, the NYC Board of Ed blocked Gmail. It was devastating, at least at first.
((laga)) I hope she's kicking him to the curb. I also hope that you and Meg have your old relationship back soon.
Gris, high school. The student who wrote the email is a senior.
Ooof. Evil blocked places.
I have not yet attempted to access much from new work.
Especially because the monitor was near to giving me a migraine (and I barely looked at it all day).
Do y'all think it's routine to take a new employee out for lunch the first day? I thought it was, but perhaps I am mistaken.
I am overwhelmed and emotional.
swooches meara - just 'cause.
first days suck. you don't.
Um - monitors are one of my migraine triggers - so if yours is hedging your migraine, then yes -speak up. If I have to help someone with an old crt fix something, I am blind in about 3 minutes.
ION, the freelance I accepted on cold meds last week just phoned and asked if I'd be offended if they went with someone who could do the work a week earlier, and - guessing, cheaper - I said absolutely not. then they asked if I would mind hanging around on pending until they got the confirm from the other someone that they would take the job.
t /losing that agency's phone number.

If not the first day, at least the first week, usually, depending on what's going on. There's usually a lunch, somehow.
I don't think I've ever been taken out to lunch.
