Look at LegalZoom.com Connie. I haven't used them but I think they have a good rep.

Heh, yes it is, you just move your little dude along the streetview, it's totally as if you'd made an epic hike.
No, of course I meant the will, and yes, I've heard LegalZoom recc'd, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The thing is I keep finding new things I can get away with.
I have found it harder to find opportunities, is my main problem. I don't honestly think good sense or considering how it looks to other people would actually stop me. I'm not really that sort of aware. But however I used to live, up to 10-15 years ago, random shit would drop into my lap, and I'd just grab at it, and nothing bad would happen, and I'd never learn my lesson.
I do wonder if I missed any opportunities. I don't think I did...I do have some gaping holes in my resume, but I swear I didn't miss any obvious chances. And I never worked out how to make my own opportunities.
I'd try Legalzoom. I've heard good things about them. I interviewed there once, and it was a very good vibe. Obviously they suck because they didn't employ me, but other than that, cool.

Treadmill + Google Earth = epic hike, right?

Dude, I think you can do it online.
I thought you meant the hike as well, to be honest.

Most of my regrets are about playing it safe. Which should be a lesson to my present self.
Yeah, me, too. I care much less about "omigod what will people THINK??" than I use to, but it was a pretty epic level of overcaring about that shit, so...
Same fears as Liese re: old age, and same lack of any plan for it.
I'm not as sharp as I used to be - memory, largely - though I suspect that's from chemo and Zoloft (I swear that shit messed up my ability to think and retain things for more than five seconds way more than chemo did; and I swear it stuck). Frustrating, but I'm still doing comparatively aces when I look at the world of people, so...
I think I have more fun now, even though lots of stuff could be better. Eh.

Thanks for all the thumbs-ups re: my mom. She's out of ICU and off all tubes now. Recover here for a few days longer, then a rehab place for a while - mostly because of the broken arm (they're now saying the right hand is a sprain not a break -- x-ray was showing an old fracture), as she's none too steady without a cane, so a break and a sprain will complicate things. Mostly she's sleeping.

Funny story -- one of her ICU nurses walked in and saw my computer screen frozen on "The Guild," and he drifted over and said, "The Guild? I love The Guild. I play World of Warcraft... a lot. So, yeah..." To which I said, "Well, I don't, but I still love The Guild. I probably should play it, but it's maybe better I don't." Aw. Geek bonding in the ICU!

My scheme was to remove the treadmill from the equation and still have the same impact on my cardio health.
t back to the drawing board...

Yay geek bonding! I'm glad your mom is doing so well, Jen.

Ugh. I am feeling worse and worse about this new project.
It's in a disease I didn't want to work in (cancer), and it's for a study that we took over from another company (uh oh). Plus, the manager is clearly overwhelmed, and being a big douche. She sent me a TON of shit, told me it should take a day (it took at least three and that was with me way more skimming than reading), and didn't give me half the info I actually NEEDED. Meanwhile, other people above me gave me contacts to two other people in my position, so I talked to them and they both confirmed it was a mess, and gave me some of the needed info.
I worked on some of the things they had sent me, and one required I watch a thing and then print a certificate. I forwarded it to the admin, because that was what the email the other girl had sent said to do.
New boss just emailed and was all "I am in charge of your training and if anyone else sends you anything you have to ask before you do it and now you need to send me what she sent you". I'm like "maybe if you were AT ALL responsive, or sent me USEFUL THINGS, I wouldn't be trying to be proactive and searching out other trainings!!" Jesus, lady.
