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.

Sara, hope that didn't come across as a "you shouldn't have done that!"

Oh, no, not at all. Just mocking myself. I tend to , well, snowball isn't the word. But gather up a lot of things that for me are drama-riffic and then dothemallatonceinacrazeddementedfrenzy. And am generally a mess.

I'm signed up for Glassdoor, but it's never been particularly useful to me. They will occasionally send me job listings for positions completely unrelated to my field or skillset. (Which is admittedly my fault for having a title which exists in every industry but doesn't ever describe the same job twice.)

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

Jessica, if I email you the name, can you tell me (morbid curiosity) what the last two comments on my employer are?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

They have left me alone to man the doublewide. So today I start answering phones. Let's hope I don't screw anything up.

3.75 more hours alone up in here is gonna get tired though. I am gonna need to bring in some radio or something. Our internet has firewalled any streaming anything.

Anything for morbid curiosity! Sure, my profile addy is good.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

How much do I love Origins Ginger Burst Shower gel? SOOO much. OK, I am womanfully holding onto my full bladder, and am showered and OMG, my hair when wet reaches below mid-back. Also? I dyed it a couple of weeks ago, since I hadn't in 5 months, and I was desperate and broke, so I used this dye I had that was red highlights for Black hair, and IT IS MY ONE TRUE RED DYE now. SO bright. I love it.

(OK, that sucked up enough time that I will not be horridly early for my appointment! Wish me no UTI and rash-heal!)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I have an unexpected day off, after several vacation days. The house I was scheduled to work at tonight, several of the people there are going to their family homes for the holiday weekend. The rest of the staff who are scheduled to work are part-timers and do not have much in the way of PTO to use. I, on the other hand, must find a way to use at least 100 hours this year, as I have accumulated up to the limit they allow us to carry over.That does not include the ten floating holidays which they give in lieu of holiday pay. So anyway, me taking an extra day off now will not hurt my paycheck. It is sunny, 63˚F, breezy, and it won't rain until 7pm or so. Fed Ex just delivered the new white 1500 thread count sheets I got on clearance at Amazon.com. So I have popped them in the washer, and wiped down the clothes line (first time of using it after the long, long, long winter. Tonight I shall sleep in fresh, sun-dried luxury.

Envy me.

Connie, I'm sure they are much prompter when there is actually something to report.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Last mammogram I got, the results were available online after a few days. That was nice.

I'm intensely curious about the glassdoor reviews of this place, but probably not enough to sign up. Certainly not while I am on their computer.

Sounds great, Windsparrow!
