Oh Thank god my professor and the registrar head allowed me to switch Cell Bio grade to Pass/Fail(thank god it’s not pre req). I was on verge of ruining a good grade, but they understood I had hard time outside the class this semester.
I earned my glass of red. Bartender, I will have a glass of Tribunal. B-) How symbolic.
It’s Take Your Child to Work Day. My office has volunteers who have activities planned for kids 5 and up. Except that several folks plan to bring younger children because the younger kids “want” to come too. So what are they going to do with activities planned for older kids? At least one child under 2 will be there. What is he going to get out of this? How about inconveniencing the volunteers and spoiling it for the older kids.
Why are parents so afraid of their kids “missing out”?
So glad I’m working from home today!
You would think you’re trying to hire me for a full-time permanent position, for all of the hoops you’re making me jump through! I’ve been a freelancer for many years and never before have I had to endure two levels of interviews, then submit 2 writing samples, and now do an assignment over a weekend! With still no guarantee that I will get the job, obviously. So I grit my teeth and say “sure thing,” all the while thinking “This had better be worth it, you had better be paying top dollar!”
Unfortunately it was bring your child to work today… I enjoyed most of the day, the one child I saw was a good kid about 8 years old. I asked her if Dad was going to treat her for ice cream after work to discuss the day. Her eyes lit up and said an immediate yes…at the same time that Dad said no. Can’t wait until tomorrow to see who won. 
On the other hand,the other parent who brought two children in who enjoyed yelling and screeching no matter how many times mom said “shh”, I want to wring mom’s neck! Only one child was really old enough to enjoy the work experience, the other should have been in day care. Mom should have brought something for the younger one to do. ugh. whatever happened to the days of parents actually having well behaved children?
So glad I had to leave work early to go to physical therapy. that was MUCH more enjoyable.
You need to teach her to walk on a real leash before you start using a retractable one!!! (And you need to learn how to use the retractable one too!)
No, you don’t need a shock collar for your pup. She needs to be on her leash and trained before you allow her to be off-lead. And you shouldn’t act so surprised that I actually told you that. My dogs are four and two - they’re not well trained to recall, so they’re not off leash. Perhaps you should follow my example - or go to the dog park.
It must be incredibly hard to go through life so insecure about yourself, but that does not mean I have to live that awful life with you.
I will do whatever I can to help you. You and your family shouldn’t have to go through this alone.
I gave it a shot. I don’t know if it is that you WON’T meet me half way, or that you genuinely can’t find your way there. At this point, I respectfully withdraw.
Damn, check your privilege. I do.
Women like you are the reason I don’t identify as feminist.
This is the best thing for both of us but that doesn’t mean I’m not hurting.
Glad it’s finally May 1st!
This book is not very entertaining, but I must read every page if it. 
We lost a good one today. It will bring changes in my mom’s life, and possibly mine too. Please let me have the strength to get through this without irreparably damaging any relationships. Mom, you need to get professional help. You have demonstrated time and time again that you can’t do it on your own.
Last week, I asked for the good people of cc to channel good will to ds2, who had a phone interview for an internship. It worked. So, today he’s driven 11 hours to get to a second interview with the company and has arranged two others while he’s in that city. He’s really hustling. I’m asking once again for the power of cc that the Tuesday interview, specifically, work out. TIA :-*
Please let tomorrow mornings’s appt go well.
Please stop hijacking every thread in which you post.
Ah, that Evolvefest. I was genuinely impressed by my subleaser until I found out that he follows that baseless, fear-mongering FB page.
