Oh, poor Mac. Neither break nor bend things, son. How did he hurt himself?
I got stupid. The money was too good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

msbelle, I keep hoping your job search is swift and effective.
I wore bamboo tights to work today. I have worn them before. My allergies are RAGING -- having a ton of fruit trees is awesome in any other time, but the combo of quince, pear and orange blossoms with night jasmine is KILLING ME. Anyway, back to the tights. I spent a little more time sitting than usual today, though I still got in 16,000 steps. And it was 80 degrees
As I'm driving home, my butt and tops of legs hurt. Like general discomfort. I take my dress and tights off and I look in the mirror and I have two giant rashes from the tights, because I have an underwear line where the rash stops. WHAT THE FUCKITY FUCK?! The dress I wore is wool, though my underwear is cotton. If it weren't for that fact I'd just assume my body is rebelling against any and all plant matter.

I found bamboo tights disappointingly uncomfortable. No rash, though--that's sounds awful. And clearly can't be detergent--have you any other experience with the fibre? Mine were mostly short-crotched problems.

Oh no to rashes and sprains! My local allergens are strong enough to break through the chemical shield I use all spring and summer, maybe the bamboo will be not irritating at other times. That would be a hard gamble to take, though.
I seem to be going ahead with this refi, because I didn't have enough in the way of tasks and stress. If I'm able to live within my income in a couple of months it will be worth it, though.

I've totally worn the bamboo many times before. That's the weird part. But damn, having sort of upper leg diaper rash as an adult is not okay.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It sounds unpleasant, that's for sure.

Any buffistas know anyone who works at Skadden, Arps?
Nope, though I can give you general info on Law Firm HR if that would help.

I have a friend who worked there many years ago. (He hated it; they sent him to manila for a supposed two-week assignment, which stretched out to months. He refused to stay any longer after his coworker's marriage broke up.) I don't know if he'd have much in the way of contacts there anymore.
