'Serenity'
[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.
Erin, I am so, so glad that your sister is getting a fresh start. I hope that as she recovers from her broken heart, she will make new friends who can show her what a healthy, truly loving (or at least liking) relationship is like in a way that family cannot do while one is a teenager.
As for goings-on at your job, you have my sympathies. I hope it works out much better than expected.
I'm sorry about the bad work experience, erin, but I'm glad that your sister's situation has improved. I moved schools between 10th and 11th grade, and it was an extraordinarily good move for me. (Actually, I moved states, and the new school was just a side effect.) Suddenly I had friends and people around me who didn't know me as the school punching bag and weird loser. I was still a geek, but there were other geeks around to talk to. It was wonderful! I hope your wee sister's experience is similarly great.
Erin, sorry to hear it was such a brutal day at work. Hopefully, the fact your trainer had trouble will lessen the impact of being pulled out of the situation.
When I was young I would go up stairs on all fours.One of the super steep stairs at work is only 6 steps or so, and yes, those I get on my butt and slide down the top two or three steps, then my feet reach the floor. Much easier. But even still, there was one time, I almost fell down those.
ION- I am trying to re-imagine the closet in the new place. In preperation for the floor installation, the closet doors were removed. I hate them. Sliding mirrors, 8' long. I really hate mirrors, and a wall of them. ACK! But I also don't care for any other options for closet doors for a reach-in of length. Sliding on a track (boring), bi-fold (eats up exterior floor space, and access to end part of closet is difficult due to bifold pile up), accordian (ack, no for so many reasons). and that's about it. I am thinking of doing some custom interior to the closet, to maximize the space, but still blah on the doors. Anyone do something cool. Or some other option I'm not thinking of? (drapes are out. Had that in college, all it does is let the dust in and you get a nice pile on the clothes you hardly wear).
When I was young I would go up stairs on all fours.
When my brother was young he used to hurl himself down the stairs head-first, riding a thin sateen sheet that constituted the only remains of his blankie. Repeatedly. My brother is quite the lunatic.
erin, I'm sorry about your completely horrible workday, but glad that it could be at least a little balanced out by the broken-hearted yet fantastic news about your baby sister. I'm vibing hope and fresh-start vibes at her like mad.
Judge~ma for your friend, Vortex.
She was great! But then, what the hell do I know. :)
Well, OA, these are sliding, but they are ALSO way cool: [link]
~ma for your friend, Vortex. And I suspect for our judicial system. I can't help but think that anyone you like and respect could only make it better.
Yes, what Windsparrow said.
