Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Thanks, all. My sister is on her way home now, and we hope that what ever that is, it can be treated here, at home (with my nurse-mom who has all sorts of medical stuff here. Including swine flu vaccinations for the whole family in case of, btw).
Hil, that sucks beyond belief. Do you have anyone there to treat you? A doctor's appointment? Anyhow, feelbetter~ma, ASAP.
ION. I'm THIS CLOSE to kill my own dad. He's unbelievably difficult with everything for almost two weeks now (if not longer), making a drama out of the tiniest of the tiny, and of course, Nothing We Do Is Being Done Right And We're All Just Here To Piss Him Off. It's not just with me - it's with my mom and my sister, too. It's nice that's he expecting all of life's solutions to fall directly on him, but I need my dad in reality now, and being nice about things.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Shir ~ Ugh, that's irritating. People who need to fix fix fix, when you don't want to be fixed, can be seriously frustrating. I hope you manage not to kill your dad.
So in ten minutes my new-ish PCA arrives, and I have to have The Talk with her, about how she needs to calm the fuck down and fade into the background a lot more. It's not really her fault - it's just who she is - but she's spewing nervous energy everywhere, and it's making me loopy and exhausted. Plus she has to stop anticipating. And apologising all the time. And generally learn what style of employee I need, which is 'background' not 'foreground'.
Yeah, I've just figured out I'm a really difficult employer... :S

Oh, man. Good luck with The Talk, Seska.

That's the thing - there's nothing to fix. Nothing. We're doing things right. He just has comments about every. little. fucking. detail.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
The Talk went well! I have resolved to be a less stressed-out employer. PCA has resolved to try and fade into the background a bit more, stop apologising, and calm the fuck down. We'll see later how well we both manage this in real life, but today was good.
Perhaps the universe has decided to forgive me today.

An over-analytical type? This, too, can get exhausting. I mean, I do plenty of that in my head, but I try not to bother the whole of the rest of the world with it.

Now tagless for your comfort.
But I did learn that my first aid training is out of date -- they no longer recommend giving ipecac to a kid who swallowed poison.
It depends on the poison, right? You shouldn't induce vomiting with caustics because they can do more damage coming back up.

Nothing We Do Is Being Done Right And We're All Just Here To Piss Him Off.
That was pretty much my dad all the time.
That's got to be hard, Seska. I'm afraid that if I had to have someone around the house, I'd be the world's grumpiest employer and would spend a lot of time channeling Dawn's "Get out get out get out."
The dog is on the list. After weeks of trotting in on cue, this morning he decided to play keep away, and my impatient neighbor, with whom I go to the Y every morning, gave up on me and went on. Now I have to decide whether, after my night with the insomnia fairy, I want to go on my own or blow it off.

It does take some getting used to, especially as I am a moody sod and I reeeeeally like my own company. If the assistants can just learn be quiet some of the time, though, we get along pretty well.
Sorry to hear about the insomnia. If you make it to the Y, I hope it helps with the tired.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Seska, is there something she can be doing when you don't need her so she doesn't feel like she is waiting around for you to wany something?
Headed to Mom's beach house for the weekend! We'll have it to ourselves as part of her birthday gift to TCG.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
(he mocked Kirk's punching technique)!
This is hilarious to me because Shatner was my stage fighting instructor's favorite role model when I did stage fighting workshops in high school. Sure, he'd probably get his ass kicked in the real world, but he always knew how to take to the camera after each hit.
