I love teens! In the classroom. Nsm at home.
Amen, sistah!!
Oh, sj, I am so sorry.
Hey, all! Just back from a week with the fam in TN. Brought 3 of them back with me. My sis and her 2 kids (ages 10 and 11) came with me. Both of the kids have ADHD. I am already exhausted. They just ran to Target to fiddle around and give their aunt an hour of quiet time. Bless them.
"Yeah. Like the 1970s."
Heh. Did you correct Em on her estimate of historical events?
Fuck cancer. Cause that is always in order.
OMG, they're actually calling my references! I filled the last spot with a guy here at work, who I just remembered offered a while back.
DUDE. I've been working here since October. I'm referred. I should totally have put Buffistas in the other two spots. I don't even know if the other numbers work anymore. I haven't spoken to those guys in forever.
Der.
Nerve wracking.
Peace and strength to your friend and fiance, sj.
Thanks for all the support. I do like teens a lot. I enjoy watching them discover themselves. They are funny and enthusiastic, and enlivening to be around. For me parenting became easier as communication became easier. It is just horribly frustrating to watch helplessly as they make bad choices. I know we all have to make our own mistakes to learn and grow, but the watching part sucks.
I may challenge him to a card game later. He will beat me soundly because he actually remembers cards, but it will open an opportunity to communicate.
It really does help to be able to vent here. Hugs y'all.
Wow, they are calling references 9 months after you were hired! That is really odd.

I totally meant to post that in Natter. Yeah, they're doing the background check for switching to perm. You'd think I was referred just by having been endorsed by my boss and the CIO after all this time here, no?
But they're serious.
Hard core.
Ah, that makes more sense. If the original references are not available totally use us. I give good reference.
Fuck cancer, indeed. I'm so sorry, sj.
And I'm thinking good thoughts for the beneficent magic of a game of cards, Laura.
Stabbity stabbity splorch: Hec and I have been keeping very close and diligent tabs on our bank accounts this month, trying to be responsible and attentive and not overdrawn (and also feed our children), and in pursuit of such have been logging on and moving funds around as needed. Which apparently triggered two "excessive transaction" fees of $10 each in the last 24 hours. For once we can spare the $20, but it seriously chaps my ass that we have to.
