sj, I hope you're feeling better.
Me too, and it's only going to get worse for the foreseeable future. As soon as I can clue you all in, I will, but I'll take whatever job~ma that's floating around. Low-level is fine. I'll post in Beep Me for more concentrated stuff.
sj, I hope you're feeling better.
A little better today, thanks!

Blazing Angels sounds cool. I'll have to look into it.
I have it here, if you wanna come over and play some. It's not too shabby. Actually, I think I have Blazing Angels 2. Not sure. Either way. It's fun.
Much time~ma for your friend, Scrappy.
amyth, plan~ma for your situation at work. Does not sound fun. Wishing you lots of other opportunities soon.
So, I have a PA situation. The brand new one is fantastic, and we're going to get along fine. The one I recruited earlier is proving very difficult. She hasn't done anything particularly wrong - we just have a major clash of styles. When I raised one element of the way she works that I wanted her to reconsider, she seemed exceptionally offended and upset (although I told her not to take it as criticism but more as a constructive suggestion for a better working relationship), and she wouldn't accept my explanation of the cause of the problem (which was mostly just irritating - if you're a PA for someone who trains people in independent living, you don't tell that person that their philosophy on the subject is wrong). She stresses me out immensely, which is purely a personality thing, but that's still important when she's spending up to 12 hours a week in my house and she's the first person I see every morning. I can't see it working out. But I feel terrible about firing her. She's so earnest and trying so hard, and she's in a complicated personal situation at the moment which I would be making worse by ending her contract. Any advice welcome! (I'm delighted with how well the other one is working out, so the situation could definitely be a lot worse.)
Sorry, Seska, but I have no advice other than if it doesn't work, it doesn't work - and none of you should suffer for it, in any way.
ION - who's up and willing to check grammar and wording in a short email in English? I'm afraid I'm too tired to write anything right.
