Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
It's ok. Not crying into my cornflakes or anything.
In other animal news, I feel so sorry for Ozymandias having to deal with his stupid people. I have clearly put something he wants in or on the dresser. I keep showing him things and he just looks back at the dresser and whines ever more plaintively, and then he looks at me and sighs as is to say, "Oy, you dumb girl, I'm looking right at it!"

We've been enjoying a visit with D! Instead of the planned biking expedition, we hid from the rain at the art museum. Very nice, this art thing! And yes, making plans to visit Amy!

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Police dispatching is very stressful work.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm trying to log on to find out what I owe for my student loan and where I need to send it, but the site keeps giving me error messages. I was able to update my address, though, so I guess they'll find me. I think I don't have to pay anything until graduation, which is technically next week, so I guess I'll try again then.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Zen- yes, vodka works great on upholstery. 1 part vodka/1 part water, spritz till moist but not soaking, allow to dry. repeat if necessary. that's also how i "cleaned" carpeted cat furniture before bringing it into my home. Kitties don't need toys that smell like other kitties.
And yes, i still have a job, just at a lower salary level and with a few months of feeling like a leper for failing to make the next step up. And i can't train at fire dispatch without police dispatch certification...so it leaves me stuck on phones 10 hrs a night for at least a year before i can try again. Mostly the hurt is just failing significantly for the first time in my life (outside of romantic relationships). i do not like the knowledge that i failed at something, even if i can try again after a year. This is, apparently, a very common feeling at my workplace. I'm starting to think the training dept is staffed with sadists.

Erin_O, take this year to reflect on what you need to succeed at your next chance at bat. Plan. Scheme. Mentally train. Think of those tough SM sequences when calling a show. You didn't get those on the first whack. But if you can do JD ACC, you can do anything. And you not only did it, you did it for multiple years. In the meantime. Relax. Recuperate. Scritch the kittens.

ND, great news!

I think a large part of it is that patients who are ready to be released are (almost always) by definition the healthiest in the hospital, and therefore a pretty low priority unless the hospital is short on rooms.
Even while I spending quite a bit of time sitting with very unhealthy patients, everything short of hauling out the crash cart seemed to be a pretty low priority. And frankly, from the outside of the hospital it's easier to see why that's the case, but when you're the one in the hospital, NSM.
