Thank you!

I've also seen it as "smack my head!" which is how I tend to use it.

Timelies all!

Open sing this month is tomorrow because the hosts live out in Edgewater. Topic is waking and sleeping.

SMHA is Somerville Mental Health Association, so it throws me too.

I am on PTO!

Which, great, I put off showering until now, and it's sapping my will to live. Shower. Adirondack. Zoning out...

(My last support call was a victory. Pain therapist wants me to take pleasure in improving at support, but getting better at something I was ill prepared for is a chore, not a joy--but this last guy had a problem I was stumped by, and he had also called me earlier in the day, pretty technically mad, but nice to me, and the guy who finally solved his first problem called me back to say how unpleasant he'd been--no, not to me--and the second call I solved all his new problems, and he was back on the side of our company (the first call was all "the previous company would have fixed this already...")). So that was a win for the boss.)

ABLUTE.

so there is this woman who fell out of a moving squad car in LA. She woke up with her mouth wired shut and bruises on the inside of her leg.

Can you explain to me why she would have bruises on the inside of her leg?

There is one possible explanation that fits with that and her "dress around her waist". They arrested a drunk woman who was not driving but waiting for her ride, raped her and dumped her from the moving vehicle. That would also explain how she "fell" or "escaped" from a moving vehicle that was supposed to be locked, while in handcuffs. I don't that this is what happened. Since she spent six days in a coma afterwords any medical evidence that would prove that one way or another is long gone. So we will never know if that is the case. But it makes more sense than the police story - the one we already know is a lie, because it included a stop that never happened.

Good grief Typo. This is what I feared as well.

Interviewed two interns this morning. One we only just found out was a student at a private school for kids with (and I'm quoting the school's website) "major psychiatric issues". I went into it open-minded, but came out full of dread that this will possibly be a full-time supervision-required sort of thing. I'd be willing to give one day a week, but they want five. New boss lady will be following up with enquiries to his teachers and other supervisors from his current and past jobs.

Second interview I was leery about because she was all theoretical work, but what she hadn't put on her resume was her homelife where she works in her mother's garden. We'll get her unpaid for 40 hours a week, including some weekends, until next June!

An idea floated was that we train her up and make her responsible for the first candidate, but I'm afraid that will scare her off.

I don't know what the law is on what we can and cannot ask, and if we had the staff to supervise as well as attend to other needed tasks I'd be willing to give this first kid a chance. But his attention drifted in between every question and sometimes didn't understand what was being asked of him.

(I wondered if some of the spaciness wasn't natural, but again, not something I think we can ask about, or avoid). At least the ED wasn't pressuring us to accept him because of some angle he could work for more money (although he did get excited about somehow tying this internship into the Hort Therapy he's trying to get off the ground).

Thinkgeek onesies! Oh, the potential! I've only had to apologise to the mother of the babyferg once so far.

I need Jamaican shit too, though. I have books, but it's too boring for books now. It's still a toy for ages.

Wait, no, I think I might have Jamaican baby clothes here somewhere...
