Oh, Sean. You are such a good man. I hope you can see that--if now, somewhere in the near future. {{{Sean and S}}}

I'm brainstorming a possible career option. In the process of that brainstorming, I've discovered that there is a program at my university that would have perfectly prepared me for this career option. Why did I figure that out now, 8 months and 23 hours before graduation?

Because when you first started you were exploring your options and that one had not yet appeared on your horizon. Not to say you can't spin your resume toward that option when you're off into the wild yonder. Many courses of study can be turned in multiple directions. Particularly if you can get part-time work and/or interneships in that field now and after graduation.

Well, I'm currently working doing what I'm considering continuing doing on another level, so I can spin it. But, I'd be better prepared (for grant writing, etc.) if I'd done this other program. It just kind of cracks me up.

I'm getting ready to go out the door to work.

I would stay home, but many times Sunday is a slow day and I need that to ease back to work.

I also feel sorry for Windsparrow, we took a whole week of vacation together, and only got a little bit done.

Good luck, Daniel! Don't push yourself too hard.

Best of luck at work, Daniel.

whole week of vacation together, and only got a little bit done

Vacation is not to get things done! It's to relax and spend quality time with your SO.

Take it easy at work, today, Daniel. No relapses allowed!

I just finished reading less than 400 posts, so:

First, Sean. We don't know each other, but you have every bit of my sympathy for this really shitty situation. Take good care of yourself as well. I hope S will feel better soon.

Second, good luck Daniel! And crossing fingers for vw! And heal-fast-don't-get-sick~ma to those of us who need it.

Third...

I remember various of the songs I had, but figured I'd ask the Bitches if they have any suggestions. It's mostly cheesy stuff--I have some country songs ("Stand" by Rascall Flatts), "Fighter", by Christina Aguilera, "Stronger" by Kanye...I forget what else, I have to go through my music. Other suggestions?

My all time Twilight Singers favorite, Dead to Rights.

And fourth, even though it takes me AGES to read the posts in the threads in my message center, you are a bunch of amazing people. Strength to all.

I'm a little worried about visiting J today. I don't want to cry when I see him and upset him or his parents.

Oh, it'll be fine, sj. Don't worry, sweetie. If you cry, you cry. He'll probably hug you and try to make you feel better. He sounds like that type of kiddo.
