I have stuff to say, but my brain doesn't work, because I am sick as a effing sick dog.
I may be grey for a few days. Or I may post stupid shit.
Was it Lennon that said "Women are the n*ggers of the world?" (Hate that word, and hesitate even to ref it in a quote -- NO OFFENSE AT ALL INTENDED. I will say fuck, et. al. all day long, but the n word and fag/dyke/kike/beaner etc make me see red.)
Can't remember. But all I know for sure is that I personally would never play the "Ooh, more marginalized than thou" game because it's zero sum. (Not saying anyone is here, BTW.) And my issues are only being a woman, and being fat. Medically termed obese at 185 lbs and 5'4".
Focus on making marginalization and -isms stop, not playing brinkmanship. Again, talking to world, not 'Ffistas.
Posting from bed. Pass out soon.
You go, sj!
Feel better soon, Erin.

That's pretty darn coherent, considering how sick you are.
Arrgh. Not going to make self-imposed application submission deadline, even though I gave myself an extra day.
Hmm. My plan to get a little rest during the hour in the afternoon when there aren't any talks I want to see ended up being a bit more rest than I'd planned. Oops.
You must have really needed it.
I only ended up working for an hour or so today, but just in that time the ED introduced me to 4 or 5 people, one of whom took my number and says he thinks he and people he knows have enough paid work to keep me busy while I look for a job. Yay! Moneys! To be buying the foods! (And, let's be honest, the alcohols). And pay the bills.
Worked with my friend's employees today. OMG, they need me.
Thanks to the bleed-off of wigginess you all provided for me last night, I was able to have the '4 categories of work for one price is not reasonable and, if I try to do this myself, my head will explode' conversation.
It want pretty well. She isn't trying to take advantage, she's just naive about what it takes to do things she needs done.
I can't criticize, she has built an awesome business.
I was especially glad to be able to save her from a world of hurt with a client dog she needs to refer out, right now. I'm not sure how the intake interviews go (I'll probably end up rewriting it, regardless) but this dog should never have been taken on. He's a danger to the walkers and to himself. I'm not even sure I could help that family as the doggy lama. So, that was a feel-good moment.
The walker was great with him...really caring and confident. Unfortunately, that walker is leaving and the new walker can't do it. I wouldn't do it.
Poor thing.
Yay, smonster!
We are at the beach. My family is already annoying me but it might just be that I'm uber cranky.
It sounds like you are making progress toward a better structured relationship, bonny. I skimmed another big chunk of posts but there was a lot of good advice and conversation there.
Busy here, no surprise. Going to fly down to Florida for a couple days to deal with business stuff. Out Monday, back Wednesday. Tonight I am walking down to the dark dock area to check out the milky way and some meteors since the moon won't be around and it is totally clear. Also, in the low 60s. It is good to have the cool mountains to sooth my overworked mind.
My nephew just texted me about Dr Who. It's silly but it makes me sniffly that we have something to talk about with him being so far away.
