'Trash'
[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.
but stuff like the CS people did things with certain exceptions and trying to remember all the exceptions was hard.
Yeah. Any system that has to accommodate a lot of exceptions is always going to be tough to pick up (cf., The English Language, the HR database at a law firm, et al.)
My only memory of a Scottie was our neighbor's. They had a Scottie - who was a fierce little guy and a very nervous pointer.
One day, a bunch of us were playing catch with one of those big balls you get at the grocery store (remember them?) and it bounced into his yard. He pounced on it and burst it with one snap of his jaws.
That's a good thing to know about yourself and your needs from a job, askye, and not indicative of any "failure" on your part. Maybe the universe is simply getting you out of a bad fit in a timely manner so you can deal with your kitty.
I just remembered we had a Scottie when I was a wee child. I don't remember his name or what happened to him. How strange. I'll have to ask my sister.
Try not to let it get you down, askye. One of the times I was going through the temp-assignment wringer I got let go from one position after a few weeks. The first day I felt so bad about myself, the second day, I realized that the job had been exhausting me, physically and emotionally, and I was lucky to have made my escape. I know getting back on the waiting-for-assignments-carousel sucks, but hopefully the next one will be a better fit.
Hee, sumi, that's too funny!
askye, ouch, but I point at what others say. Numbers, not a strength; doesn't make you less then, just not your thing. But you already have another position lined up.
I'm feeling better. It was a shock because I hadn't received direct feedback I was so far behind. Vet says Dean is good weight so I can stop wprrying about that. Waiting for a basic urine test.
Yay! Pee, Dean, Pee like the wind!
Err, or something...
Can they not do a urine extraction? Do they have to wait for him to pee normally?
askye, I'm sorry the job didn't work out. I hope that the next one is a better fit for you. Can you pick up more hours at the craft store until the temp agency can find something else for you?
