Heh. As taken aback as I was by the email, I'm not bothered, except whenI consider how successful I'm likely to be. She is a very kind person and I do think she's being completely genuine when she says she's hurting. As opposed to pissy or self-righteous. So, annoying on some levels but I'll get over it. I am glad she doesn't report directly to me anymore because I'd worry about the situation a lot more. As it is, I apologized and said I would try to be more sensitive. It's no skin off my ass to try to avoid doing something hurtful.
Need to drag my ass to work. Don't wanna.
Why can't we search posts by poster's name again?
For privacy! You stalking stalkery stalker! But yeah, I dunno how heartily my objection stands after a decade. All y`all know more about me than most people anyway.
It is raining here this morning. Well, more like a very robust fog. But stuff is wet, anyway. The forecast is for 5-11" today. We`ll see if it actually freezes or not. It might at higher elevation. It`s a little worrisome since I`m driving to Flagstaff tomorrow, but most of that drive will be lower elevation.
And now is when I let everyone know that once again there is a house for rent just down the street from me.
And I'll just say SNOW BAD
Light snow in DC, 1-2" expected.
Enough to mess up rush hour, not enough to deserve any sympathy from anyone else.
Oh, on swearing: I use (in kid presence) Jiminy Cricket, Jeez-o-Pete, Criminey, Good Night, Great Googly Moogly, Daggone it, For Serious (ok, I use that one in normal slang too, but you can tell when I mean it as a cuss word), Man Alive, Sheesh.
I swear mildly but constantly in front of Dylan, to the point where now if I say "Oh" he will finish the sentence for me with "...CRAP!"
Hivemind help please.
I got informed this morning that CJ was supposed to bring Orangina to a party in his French class today. Luckily the class is later in the day, so I have time to get some - but I'm not sure where to look. Whole Foods? Cost Plus World Market? Would the local grocery have it?
I've seen it at K-Mart. But I'd call a store before you go.
Yeah, it`s funny, `cause the kids all swear like sailors, but I try to not make it come from me and my factory/it/theater pottymouth. We swear still pretty mildly around the teenagers, though, because we figure at that point it`s not our fault.
