Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
watching the NFL draft on the computer, but I missed the musical numbers. I hope there was dancing. I hate the Eagles. had to be said.
I knew Dallas wouldn't be taking a QB, but I was dreaming. A good CB is nice, I love a good CB, but I really want Romo gone.
Oh, my god, more rapping.
I must be missing it during the NFL.com commentary. or commercials.
I hate the Eagles.
Me, too. And I hate that the fans here still love Michael Vick.
Go, Jets!
Oh, bad work news.
One of my best-liked colleagues: i.e., she's both nice and competent, and manages to stay out of the uglier office politics, has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
FUCK CANCER.
She's getting her second round of chemo tomorrow. So, I am wondering: what can we her coworkers do to help? Beyond sending flowers, which she has already complained about (they smell like death, she says).
Suggestions would be gratefully received.
Oh, Consuela, I'm sorry. That's hard.
Is there anything you can do to help if she has family? Meals? Running errands? For her, maybe a *bouquet* of magazines or crossword puzzle/soduku books?
So, I am wondering: what can we her coworkers do to help?
There's a website where people can create schedules of things like who is making/taking a meal, etc. I can't remember the name, but I do remember Cashmere talking about it when her new wee nephew was born.
Something like that?
Fucking cancer. Sounds like doing stuff and/or providing entertainment is a good call.
The Web site I'm thinking of is Caring Bridge.
Meals, errands. Concrete and immediately useful things that need to be done but are draining. And, if she's up for it, fun things. If she's stuck in a hospital or long treatments then books, puzzles, coloring books or something to help pass time.
I'm sorry.
