[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Gives new meaning to the term MOOC.
Hee. And our department is the one that developed all the MOOCs UW currently offers (four) and are developing more. A MooMOOC would be just the thing.

Latest social worker literally REEKS from some hideous perfume she probably bought after some article on "Having a Signature Fragrance"
That sucks. Especially if any of her client have scent allergies or triggers.

She is going to find out the hard way not to do that anymore.(You can't tell those people, anything, though, even if I hadn't felt like "how she smells" was a bit too intimate, despite the deeply personal crap she knows about me.) Me, I just hate musk. A lot. I used to think it's because some people put it on over unwashed body, but even though she seemed clean enough, still off-putting. She is clearly, in her own mind, at least, The Pretty One. I thought the ones who were bitter about being ugly were trying, but I can't win either way.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm hunting for a new therapist, and I just passed over one woman because she's a thin pretty blonde. Is that bad? That's bad, I guess. Given her specialties, she probably wasn't what I need anyway, but I'd said no in my head before I even read her CV. I just don't think I can cry about my body issues in front of a thin pretty woman.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think it would be bad if you decided she was horrible or incompetent based on her appearance. Instead, you're deciding for yourself what doctor is best for you. That's a healthy choice.

Thanks, Dana. No, I didn't make any judgment calls about her competence, just how I would feel. So I guess I'm okay.

No point in making something that's already difficult more difficult for yourself.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Just like I don't feel like friends who have been married since their 20s are the people who will comfort me if I'm feeling bad about being single in my 40s. They're still my friends, they just don't meet that particular need. You're not judging her as a person, just how she will meet your needs. Seems like knowing your own needs is a healthy start.

Psychotherapist found. Achievement unlocked. I see her in a week to evaluate if we think we're a good fit for each other. I've already babbled tearfully at her, and she didn't seem judgey, so, so far so good.
Oh, god, therapy again. I'm doing this because I feel like I need to, not because I much want to. I'm sick of the story of my own life, frankly.
