Well, if there were more pie charts and fewer words it would be much easier. Maybe you could suggest that??
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
That's some bullshit there, Teppy.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Well, I'm just taking it as a lesson that I need to say "Only 2 articles, please, and not substantially longer than average, so that my time worked is actually reduced." Fool me once.

So we are therapy twinsies. Yay? No, not yay.
You absolutely need to take some time for yourself. You need down time, and you DESERVE down time.

I have a draft of my email to my coordinator asking for fewer articles for a couple of weeks. It's sitting in my drafts folder, just waiting for me to send it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Deep breath, Steph. Send it. It's okay.
The enormous amount of destructive programming put in me by my dysfunctional family has taken decades to excavate and chisel away. (Mixed metaphor, ahoy.) The more I pull out, the more I see how much of me it affected.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I love you guys. I don't say that enough, or provide specific support. But Steph, Zen, Laura, Suzi, Windsparrow, Epic, and all the rest of you, I admire the hell out of all of you for dealing with your own stuff. You provide Leverage, no, that's not it. Courage, when I'm ready to give up. Examples of determination and ingenuity in dealing with your own circumstances, and great kindness toward yourselves, which is harder than the kindness you show others. I'm constantly amazed, and then I remember what place this is, and which people you are.
I should have a concluding sentence, and I don't have one. So, ::raises cup of cold coffee:: here's to all of us. There's none like us!

I know it is only Monday, but I'm already looking forward to the weekend. It is going to be my first weekend this month where I only have 90 minutes of training scheduled. The last two weekends have had multiple training sessions each day. Two weeks from now we only have training on Saturday, but it is 3 sessions including my actual team (we coordinate the training for all the teams, give the first 30 minutes on general volunteer information before the team specific orientation). Then I will be "on" from Wednesday the 28th - Sunday the 2nd. I plan on sleeping all the the 3rd and 4th.
Teppy, I didn't have a parent have open heart surgery and I'm the one who put myself in this position of having so much ON time this month. But I totally get you and I highly recommend being extremely protective of your OFF time, just for sanity sake. You don't owe anyone that time.
