A little better today, thanks!

[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.

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.
