Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

[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.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

{headdesk} I took vicodin in the middle of the night, on an empty stomach. No wonder nausea hit as soon as I was upright. Duh, stoopid erin, don't do that again!

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.

Somebody tell me to step away from the free Kindle cookbooks from a hundred years ago.

Oh, nifty! I read one on dealing with WWI rationing that was really interesting.

Our wings are not tired.

How hard is cross country skiing to pick up when you only practice every 5 years or so?

It isn't really difficult at all. Regular skiing spoofs me because I am too timid for speed, but cross country is easy enough and I only do it very rarely.

"Foods that Will Win the War and How to Cook Them"? I got that one, too.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

You could practice by getting a NordicTrack... remember when those things were the fitness craze? We had one for sure.

Congrats to MM!

Quick sum up: had meeting with boss and talked to E. I am not fired but I have pretty much no confidence that things will really improve - boss is not going to be taking that kind of leadership role. I'm not sure he can. Met with mentor last night - he's going to pursue more jobs so he'll have enough work to keep me busy. In the meantime I'm going to pick a thing that I'm good at and want to use to contribute to current company and just do it. I was super drained and depressed this weekend but am feeling a little better now.

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

not fired is good. sometimes that's as good as it gets for the moment.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I think you're handling this in the very best way. Was there anything said in the meeting which you can learn/change from? Since you can't change your bosses and their lack of leadership, was there anything you can use to help improve your own work? That's usually the only benefit to be gained from a situation like this, sadly.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Scrappy is wise. Smonster, I hope things get better for you.

I'm not allowed to eat anything after midnight tonight for my surgery at 2pm tomorrow. So, I plan on eating all the things today.
