That sucks, Scrappy.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Trust my rage
So maybe mac and I will go see Avengers. Parental child appropriate meter from anyone who has seen it?
I saw it today and watched with an eye towards taking the kids. There was no kissing, no torture, hardly any blood, and one use of "stupid ass". I was surprised it was rated PG13 because I am seriously thinking to taking the kids who are almost 7 and 4.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And Scrappy - I am so sorry that you are feeling beat up on. That is no good. I'm willing to bet that it is wack expectations and not so much you.
Oh yeah, that too!

Our wings are not tired.
That is good to hear, Stephanie. I want All peoples to see Avengers!
{{Scrappy}} I'm sorry about the work stress. Is the manager playing let's pass along the stress? I hope you can compartmentalize this and enjoy the weekend. Boo unrealistic expectations.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, yeah, I meant to say that, it is totally kid friendly. There were five year olds having a great time at my theater, and I totally would have allowed our students to go. Even the pacing is good, when things get tense, there was humor to lift it.

Micheal Young for the Rangers used the Beasties for his music tonight before the rain delay.
Mac has declared rain delays boring.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Work has been crazeballs for me, too.
I think it won, this week.
On the plus side, I didn't actually shriek like a banshee at any of the people who asked me to do stuff.

He would be correct.

Aims, that call is never a good one to make and it does feel like shit, mainly because he STILL won't get what he needs probably.
In California, as a mandated reporter, just going to a counselor to document is not enough. If I suspect anything I have to call CPS. Going to an administrator is not enough and I can't report it to school police, but to regular police instead.

In my family, if you didn't find a way to...well, not cheat, but exercise the rules to their full elasticity, you weren't doing it right. Hence in college Midnight Croquet, I was deemed the perfect person to be the Gremlin in Perpetuity. Previously, it was a rotating role. But I was too much of a PITA.
I don't much like board games. Completely unrelated.
Nails done. Borrowing neighbor's red wagon (it's the SUV of radio flyers: all terrain tires, removable sidewalls, extra ergo handle!) for market tomorrow. She's off running the People's Preakness. I'm gonna buy plants. And a lot more strawberries. I went through a quart and a pint this week.
Scrappy, enjoy your damn weekend and let this slide off. Aim, it's better to hand it off to those whose job it is to do the eval you are not trained to do. If you are mistaken, sure, hurt feelings, a hassle for those involved and animus. However, if you are correct, you are aiding in preventing further tragedy to a life. On the scales, you know how that balances out.
