I am tired of pain and anxiety stealing all my spoons. /whine
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

[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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I'm spoonless myself.

{{{smonster&Ginger}}} I could barely find the spoons today for a fun night out. And I have laundry piled up to the ceiling at the moment.

Sending Ginger an electronic spoon. Wish that worked in real life.

Compassionately intolerant
Typo, I gave Access a pass years ago, for the reason you described, and never went back.
I'll have to do some research on database products. I just really don't have any knowledge. Plus, the time necessary to learn something new right now...not appealing.
BUT, I need something so, I guess I'll have to do whatever it takes.
Shir, I'm with smonster. I'm glad you went and hope you can see her again. I call my surrogate mom nearly every day since her open heart surgery and it has meant a lot to both of us.
I also endorse omnis' recommendation of audiobooks. There are organizations here that offer audiobook players for seniors that are slow the recording down, so they are easier for older folks to hear.
Energy ~ma for all who need it, but especially ginger and smonster.
I screwed up so badly this morning that I pretty much wasted all my spoons. I had two doggy appointments on my calendar...one a mile away up-hill, the other, three blocks from my house. I ran to the distant one when I was meant to be at the other. By the time I figured it out, I'd wasted an hour of the client's time and ended up giving them an extra hour gratis.
I really worry about my memory. Jeez.

Thrive to spite them
I'm glad I have two days off, I'm ready for it. It's been kind of a roller coaster at work.
So far I've discovered that the New Girl has managed to piss off/insult several people and reject their help. Well, when she wants help she wants you to drop everything and help her and then go away. She'll even say "go away" or "shoo" and flap her hands.
And then I had the interview for the full time positions, one for cashier and one for the phone position.
I got the phone position. I was the only candidate, but from what I could suss out only me and this guy J applied for the cashier position. I assumed that if he applied for it then that's what they'd do. I get a raise effective tomorrow. My schedule is set for the next 2 weeks so I'll officially have my new hours then. But I finally get coded and get access to stuff I need to do the phone job better.
But benefits including 5% matching on 401K and stock option stuff. I'll get a packet and some info.
And I'm able to watch FSU Stomp all over Clemson. Good day today

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That's good news, askye! Glad you'll get away from the New Girl.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
That sounds fantastic :)

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'm glad you got the phone job, askye!

askye, congratulations! Very cool, I hope it's a good change for you.
