The Tatums are splitting? I am oddly saddened by that, more than I ought to be.
So that made me feel good for whatever reason.
Yay, Jesse, who is no worse than perfectly respected people!
Good luck with puberty, JZ and Hec.
I danced a bunch this weekend, and made good choices and left early, so even though I got less dancing in I also had fewer moments of "I am sitting here when I want to dance and no one wants to dance with me and it must be because they can tell I am awful" kind of thing.
Also I saw this woman who had really cool hair and I am tempted to do what she had but suspect I would not like it enough to deal with growing it back out. (I currently have one side shaved; she had both sides shaved and then a very poufy mohawk that she'd put up into a cascade of...poufs? Hard to explain but it looked bad-ass) Also then I wouldn't have my blue streak, which I also love!
I am totally in favor of blue streaks.
Puberty...
AHAHAHAHA.

Right? It's the end of an era!
Also must remember that bad-ass as the women on instagram and google images look, I am (a) not bone-structured like that and (b) don't have the willingness to "do" my hair every day. So it is unlikely to look like this:

That is an utterly badass hairstyle, meara, and it does look like a lot of fuss and bother.
Good luck with puberty, JZ and Hec.
We got tears at bedtime too! The perfect bracket of weeping.
Tears before going to school and tears before going to bed.
To be fair, those are prime crying times. (Along with most times in between.)
I am also sad about the Tatums!
Not eating fattening food and not unnecessarily spending money are two of the three bugbears harrowing me lately. The other is cleaning the house. I need to either Nike Just Do It, or quit caring about it somehow.
ION I may be getting a bicycle. I've been wanting one, but it may be pointless. There are so many hills around here.
Yay potential bicycle!
I had to ponder for a bit to figure out who these Tatums are, but I pinned it down and, yeah, that's sad.
That hairstyle is awesome, meara, but definitely would not look like that on me (mostly because of my "oh, shit, gave I combed my hair?" approach to styling)
they let some issue build up for months without saying anything to me about it, finally say something, I tell them "Ok I will have a chat with ..., let me know if there are further issues". I talk with the person, nobody says anything for months, I assume the little chat took care of the issue, but meanwhile the thing is still going on, but the experienced staff are back to not saying anything and letting their frustration build up until it explodes.
I can see where that would be annoying. If they're not coming to you with further issues, but history suggests further issues continue, perhaps you'll need to work weekly, 5-minute check-ins into your schedule. "We had a discussion about X. What's been happening since we talked? Are the younger staff stepping up the way we hoped/are the older staff communicating about needs and requirements? What would you like to see happen next?" Then if experienced staff still explode three months down the road you can say (perhaps even have documented), "You said things were fine at week 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Why am I just hearing about this now? If this was a problem throughout, why didn't you say something about it when I specifically asked you?" It puts the responsibility for speaking up back on them, and they have to choose between actively lying to you so they can wallow in their sense of old-timer superiority and actually getting stuff fixed.
