corn flakes (x2) because Connie & Julianna deserved itemized posts for different reasons...
ok, deep breath. Here goes.
Meantime, I am in a big WTF place wrt my job. NOT good timing at all. 10 years is a long time to be anywhere. I resigned once a few years ago and they made a big counter offer that I took. They've supported me in this move and allowed me to keep working there. Mostly because we've been able to do a huge stack of badass things for them on a nonprofit budget. For years. They have given us some additional staffing, and now are increasing the workload beyond what 2.5 people could ever do. But (as with Kristen) our director left last year and they're in the middle of a search, which is trending towards bizarre at this point.
If there are any bitches in mind of doing some (amply rewarded... of course) career consulting and/or resume help, I am one big post of need. Web-side software, databases/Info-Architecture/Writing/Graphic Design. This is not when I should be doing this, but I am starting to feel like I have to. I am starting to feel like I don't know what I am capable of anymore.
(((Connie & Hub))) I'm so sorry.
Good luck, Sox, I have no consulting skills to offer but I will be glad to cheer you on while you look.
Kids are dressed but I need to get dressed to go to the gym. The good thing about this place is that I need to schedule the childcare so it forces me to get up and get in there because I have an appointment.
I wish the speech therapy place would call me back so I can get Owen in here.
Now, if my kid(s) were bored to the point of not being challenged and were causing mischief or disrupting class, then I'd really have to think about it. Maybe not a full double promotion, but going up a grade for reading and math. My elementary school did that with a lot of kids (myself included) and it seemed to work out better in the short and long run.
I'm with you. Besides, learning to deal with being bored is a good life skill.

Oh, connie. I didn't realize Koogie was 18. What a good long life for a cat. Hugs to you and DH.
Aw, Connie. I'm sorry for your loss and glad you got to give him a quiet and loving send-off.

Here's to a wonderful "new year" for you, brave and beautiful juliana!
connie, I'm so sorry. One of my coworker's dogs died this morning so it's already been a sad pet day. I'm glad your Koogie died with you.
