Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

sj, I once made a coworker a "mean mommy of the year" award and used gold paint to highlight portions. She took it home and shared it proudly with her kids.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Better, thanks! As long as I stick to 30ml every 6 hours I'm almost normal. Just sleepy and paying way too much attention to whether I can feel my lungs.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

askye - why would you being outside walking/dancing/singing bother his mom? I thought she liked noise all the time and generally has no consideration for anyone else.

sj - getting dressed means COSTUMES.

Because the singing was really really off key. I am sure it annoyed the neighbors. In fact considering how much that neighbor has complained in the past I'm surprised he hasn't sent a paper airplane note over the fence asking me to cut it out. I had earbuds on so it's just me singing loudly off key with no music.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Husband's third interview is Wednesday or Thursday. Which feels about thirteen years away.

That does feel impossibly far in the future, Dana. Job~ma continuing!

You are allowed to sing off-key, askye. That is not a legitimate thing for anyone to complain about right now. If anyone is complaining, it sounds like you are guessing that they would like to complain -if that's the case, don't worry about it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Weird specific question- this sounds weird as a sentence, right? Upon completion of this module the nurse will describe de-escalation techniques for use in situations of extreme conditions.

Sorry to pop in- working like crazy on this RN refresher course.

Also, this morning I talked to my student who is in Brooklyn. She says it is BAD in NYC. Her mom and elderly grandma are in the hospital. They didn't admit her grandma until her fever reached 105 degrees. They can go to the lobby and bring their family members hot food which hospital workers will take up to them. And she saw a plastic sheet blow back on a hallway that was full of dead bodies while she was waiting. Her mom is also a nurse, so still going to work.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Upon completion of this module the nurse will describe de-escalation techniques for use in situations of extreme conditions.

I think that "situations of" could be removed (so it would be "...for use in extreme conditions"). Or it could be changed to "...for use in extreme situations."

sophia, I'm so sorry your student had to see that. I'm so sorry this is our reality

I am struggling with this stupid website, it keeps timing out during certain points and while I don't have to start all over it's very confusing. I know the system is overwehlmed. I'm going to take a break and then try to finish it. It's also hard because I have to fill out information for both employers (out of state and in state) that are technically the same employer and trying to keep straight which one they are asking about is .. confusing.
