Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Dear Asshole Woman I Just Talked To:

Unless you are going to go knock on every other person's door that lives on that street and ask them if they are always sober when residing IN THEIR HOME, don't fucking call me and ask if my residents are REQUIRED to be sober simply because you were told that our agency houses the formerly homeless, you fucking bitch. Your "very young child" has a statistically higher chance of getting fondled and mistreated by your fucking father-in-law than one my tenants. So don't come into this town and start making assumptions about who your neighbors are. Look inside your family first, assface.

Signed, Doesn't Know Who the FUCK You Think You Are.

You know?

She actually had the nerve to ask me, "Well, what kind of people are they?"

!!! Fucking human people. Who deserve somewhere to live without ignorant fuck-shits like yourself wanting to know if we require them to be sober. No, we don't. They're fucking adults. Shut your face.

I was having a pretty good morning too!!

“Not dead yet!”

Hey, Barb, did Lewis ever hear anything on that job?

He did, Nora, last week. They sent an email with their regrets. In talking to friends of ours in the industry we've come to the conclusion that it may well have been down to Lewis and one other person who probably had more experience. I mean, the interview went as well as it possibly could have, he interviewed pretty high up the food chain, and most importantly, even days after it was done, he couldn't think of a single thing he regretted saying or would have said differently.

He was pretty bummed for a few days, but he's done a few days' worth of contract work and he's back on the hunting trail. Also, he had communication with one of the people with whom he interviewed and they told him they were definitely keeping his resume on file, so we'll see. Onward, right?

Thanks for the hugs and the ~ma last night. It was nice to read while I couldn't sleep. My appointment is in a couple of hours. Don't wanna.

You guys! I am going to be on the radio, maybe, in 15 minutes to talk about immigration. I'm nervous I will sound dumb or worse, ineffectual.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Stephanie, I suspect you are on now, but know in your head, you are a Buffista! And, as a group, it is well known, we are wise, and very opinionated. You will sound very smart, and do wonderfully.

Do I quit the group I started the first place? Ask the guy to leave? Clearly there's a problem here, and there's only so much I can do - but I can't change my native tongue to Russian nor have the knowledge of 3 years in linguistics he has.
Shir, I would ask the group. At the start of the next session, just put it out there. "hey everyone, I know I pulled this study group together, and I just want to make sure everyone thinks it is helping. It seems me and xxxx are butting heads for sections of our time. I want to make sure that isn't distracting from the goal, and is there anything we can do to make it go better/smoother". Something along those lines. I leave it to the hive mind for other opinions. We seem to be wiser as a group.

ION. I got some sleep. I feel a little less stressed. Lots of little things to tackle before leaving. But I think manageable. But must resist temptation of recliner chair, tv, and interwebs.
