That is truly impressive, Erin.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

Hi Le Nubian. Back from being stabbed. Hydrocortisone injection - reduces inflamation in degenerating disks which presses on nerves and makes typing painful. Routine, but always leaves me spacey and mentally less than all there the rest of the day. (An inner voice says "How is that different from any other day?" Shut up, inner voice.)

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
smonster, it was...hard. Damn. And SO MUCH left to do for garage sale and business. I am looking forward to Saturday night and Sunday in the worst way!
And it could be worse. For all my bitching, and for the money issues germane to a new biz start-up, freelancing is saving my life in a way working a job with set hours really killed me professionally. My work is stellar (usually), and I work HARD -- but the insomnia/depression merry-g0-round just fed on each other when I KNEW and felt the stress of OMG, I HAVE TO BE UP AND OUT at a certain time.
I am working my ass off, and insomnia is a constant battle for me, but the stress associated with it interfering with my reputation for professionalism has gone down SO MUCH, I can't even say.
This was totally the right step for me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm pointing and nodding at everything Erin says up there ^^^^ Chica, you're rocking your new life, as much as the challenges, they be challenging!

Heh. I'm imagining Pete's face if I got that and wore it around the house.

We had another wonderful day today. We went to Battle in the morning and the National Gallery in the afternoon. Tomorrow we check out of our London hotel and head to Bath, where we are staying with a friend on mine from high school. I'll miss London, but I love Bath, so I can't wait to get there.

Erin, this is why I keep wanting to go independent also. Thank god I have a cool boss right now, but I really need to be able to fit my work around other stuff.

Raq - I love working from home for that very reason. As long as my work gets done, I haven't had anyone fuss about what hours of the day I work. I keep my Outlook calendar up to date so people know when I'm not available.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Well, I found out what happened with the makeup exams last night. When students sign up for a makeup exam, we tell them to copy down the room number and time from the top of the signup sheet. The signup sheet for my students had the wrong room listed. Every other sheet had the right room; it was just the one given to me that had the wrong room. So now I've got to find time to supervise my students taking the makeup exam sometime in my office.
