for your consideration:

Buffista Island possibility?

The Outlander wedding episode as described on Smart Bitches.

And, 2015 is the Year of the Codpiece (with SCA references)

I am trying to find scholarly articles for a friend on the topic of how women's arguments are systematically discounted/derailed by being called "too emotional" (either in online debate, or in person) and coming up completely bupkis. It is seriously making me feel like a bad librarian.

I would not be shocked to learn that the topic hasn't received much scholarly attention. Disheartened, but not shocked.

I am at the "ascend already" stage of this job process. When I arrived today I was called upstairs for a couple more questions.

Good god, aurelia. This is the most drawn-out internal hire I've ever seen.

I emailed about the job I interviewed for in early August, and got a call back; they still haven't made up their minds. Of course. Sigh. But at least I'm still in the running?

This afternoon I have to do a job application, since it closes today. Wish me luck.

Hysteria?

So I was feeling really oogy and weird, so left work a little after 1. Passed out for hour and a half. Oookay....

Thanks, Strix. I'll check that list when I'm a bit less on edge.

Speaking of on edge, Polgara's friend J offered to help with picking up my methadone meds and has been on the project since 9. Now Polgara is involved, so if you ever think I'm exaggerating, you can ask either of them.

I'm just in too much pain to drive. I walked an errand this morning and boom wipeout. Weekly meds should be here in an hour, hopefully.

Crap, ita. I hope they get there soon.

I got some boots I ordered today, and I think they're too big. Damn it. I don't want to return them!

ita all of us our damn sure you are not exaggerating. You figure out a way we can help , and you will get help not only from the hive mind but the hive body. We will put time and effort and sweat into it. This not a proforma "anything we can do to help". This is a serious offer on my part and I bet on the part of most of us.

My train is being delayed because a fight broke out outside the train between a conductor and someone else. Running and tackling was involved.

OK, wow.

ita, it fills me with rage what you have to go through to get treatment. If I could figure out how to put that rage to some constructive use on your behalf, I would be so happy to.

The guy who is not the conductor is bein arrested. Hopefully that means we can leave soon.
