Okay, what? Seriously, what?
If the family who's on the show that week has recently lost someone (firefighter dad who died while rescuing a family, soldier mom who died in Iraq, etc.) then they'll just about always set up a "Mom room" or "Dad room" that's filled with pictures and stuff that belonged to Mom or Dad -- his firefighter cap, her medals, huge pictures of them -- frequently with heroic sayings or stuff like that painted on the walls, with chairs so that the family can sit and reflect and remember. The adults and teenage kids generally react to this with a sort of, "OK, thanks," attitude, but if the families have elementary-school-aged kids, if you look at their faces when they first walk into those rooms, the main emotion seems to be trauma.
Um, yeah, you think? That's creep-tastic.
Yeah. They seem to do much better on the design stuff when the story of the week is "Family has several disabled kids and live in a house that's not at all handicapped-accessible" than when the story is "Single mom just died in Iraq and four kids just moved into one-bedroom house with the grandparents."
Depends on the direction and color of the stripes in the tights.
And the huzzbah to carry it off.
And the huzzbah to carry it off.
I think this perhaps is the key.
Most def.
Wow,
The Unit
is just pure testosterone porn. And I think I'm addicted.
I need a coach. I am good at a lot of things but selling myself is not one of them. I have spent the whole weekend wrestling with writing a resume or two and I can't pull it off. this morning I woke up all inspired and wrote some up, but on reflection they are still to vague and amaturish.
Sox has generously volunteered to review my latest attempts, but I want someone to sit me down and say "write this, not that".
Now I'm all depressed again. I'm afraid I'm going to wind up temping as a receptionist again.
I blew my chance at a career change when I left my last job for this one. My skills have deteriorated and my knowledge is out of date.
