I have composed the body of my Letter of Professional Commitment for the purpose of applying for the credentialing program of the National Alliance of Direct Support Professionals. Is anyone available to give it a read-through? Please and thank you.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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 terrifically busy with my ennui.
This is one of those meetings that was supposed to last 15 minutes and has lasted far longer.

Dana, I wish there was someone whose arm I could rip off and shove through the interwebs for you to beat people with.

I've been leaving more of a tip at hotels (like $10/night) after listening to a Judge John Hodgman about it: [link]

I hadn't seen this Maru video:
I sympathize with his general air of "No, this is fine, everything's fine, clearly I am succeeding and doing exactly what I meant to do."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
ltc keeps somehow undoing her diapers with her clothes on. Including while wearing pajamas and a sleep sack. No idea what to do about this. It's been a messy day.

Our wings are not tired.
I don't want to be working today. There are cat videos and internet discussions that need my time. eta: and structure corrections!
sj, I seem to recall needing to use additional tape and/or pins to keep them on when the boys were young.

Again, I look to 8 years ago, and how I would have felt if anti-Obama electeds had, en masse, boycotted. I would not have approved!
Anti-Obama electeds DID boycot his inaugurations. Someone linked to that article on fb earlier today.
My 'let's go along to get along' is all worn out. I'm happy to see who boycotts in the vein of 'okay then', we see you.
While I totally, and completely get the issue of 'respect for the office' over respect for the man, I believe we are in a singular situation now where the habits and protocols of the past could actually prove dangerous.

I sympathize with his general air of "No, this is fine, everything's fine, clearly I am succeeding and doing exactly what I meant to do."
"This is a TOTALLY comfortable position, I assure you."
Damn, Maru. You are a beacon of awesome in an otherwise shitstorm of a world.
