Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

but the mental stinkeye is still there when people get pregnant easily.

Depends on the person. My friend J got pregnant the first month she tried and I was nothing but happy for her (I think it was helped by the fact that she HATED being pregnant and had major buyer's remorse over the whole pregnancy thing. She loves having a kid, but pregnancy is not her cuppa). Then she got pregnant again with twins (naturally) and is happily still working at week 37 and I am jealous of her breeding ability, but am happy she didn't have a similar pregnancy to mine.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Ugh finally got a call back from the lawyer adn she is so frustrating, like she didn't even look back through my file before calling. ANd she proceeded to ask me question after question without giving me a chance to respond. Half of what she asked for, she needs to send me the forms for or find out more information before I can proceed. Sure, I hadn't done much and I neglected to call for 2 months, but she has done NOTHING. I totally snapped at her and took 2 action items for myself and gave her 3. I am calling her ass once a week for an update.

In non breeder news,

I am cleaning out my office (4 more days here... only 4 more days and tomorrow I'm leaving early!). I was thrilled to find a can of aerosol cheese as I didn't pack a lunch. Several calories (and a ton of sodium) later and I'm so happy. No crackers necessary!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

ION, I don't think I interviewed this girl for long enough. I was done in a half hour. Does that seem right? It's basically an entry-level job, so I figure there's not that much to ask.

not your mom's socks.

I was thrilled to find a can of aerosole cheese

aerosoles makes cheese? You're eating shoe cheese?

Advice:

I want to change this sentence

This course is designed to teach ....

to something other than "this course is intended to teach...."

It's the first sentence of the syllabus and I can't get it quite right.

I hate doing interviews, and I don't think I necessarily do them very well, so I couldn't say.

Am I the only one who thought msbelle was pledging to call her lawyer an ass once a week? (Which I happen to think is a great plan.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm starting to get scared about the whole fertility thing. But finding a partner? Unpossible.

Damn. I'm so shoe happy that I fucked that one up... aerosol obviously!

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Half an hour for an entry level position? Plenty long enough. The only things you need to know are: Can I get along with you? Are they smart enough to pick things up quickly?
