Really? That wasn't very nice of her.Quote:

I'll look for "Gone"!
I have the lovely PinkBikes at my house today :)
Ok, so I'm easily amused, but I find it kind of funny when people wear clothing prominently displaying some sentiment they don't seem to have chosen themselves. Or "random crap", as my son would put it.
This morning on the metro I sat facing two people - one a conservatively dressed, shy-looking woman in her thirties with long brown hair, a little careful make-up and a worried look. On her nondescript black jacket, embroidered in pink on the shoulder pocket - "Notoriously breaking own rules."
Next to her a large and fierce-looking young woman - I think - a bit hard to tell as she was deep in a large black fur hat with ear flaps and a huge scarf. Belligerent posture, crossed arms, wide legs. On her nondescript beige jacket the logo "BG" - "Baby Girl".
I really wanted to lean forward, tap them on the shoulder and suggest they switch jackets :D
X!!!!! :cool: :D :) (((X))))

X!! Good to see you. Good luck with the job search!
I am so sick of my internship. I am maintaining barely enough clients to make my hours, though I know I will have enough. I just want to be done.
I realize that I have learned a lot and I love my new career. But, I am not looking forward to returning to full time work again for at least 2 years (required for my license).
Six more weeks.
... never too old for senioritis ... ;)
Yeah, first I had it with the actual course work, but now that I am actually working on my last paper (the biological basis of anxiety and alternative treatment, focusing on yoga and mindfulness) and it is going well, that went away.
I am going to a job fair on 4/22, so I am focusing on that, to rev me up for the job search. There are a couple of places that always hire new grads, but frankly, they kind of suck... especially when I've had clients tell me things that verify what I hear through the grapevine.
What worries me is that I seem to have a pattern of getting sick of my workplace, kind of easily... not the actual work, but more the culture of the place and my colleagues. In the past, i dealt with this by focusing on my outside interests, i.e. cycling and before that teaching at the gym. Working part time seems to eliminate the "getting sick of" thing, so I think it's really more about having a balanced life at this point. Unfortunately, if I work half time, it means twice as long to get the hours for my license. I sort of would love an 80% time job, just to give me a little leeway. Of course, it may just be what my dad says... I am a perpetual student!
Hang in there Crankin, time flies and it'll be over before you know it! :o
I gotta draw a really weird lamp patent from 7 different angles this week- why are 99.9% of lamps so damned FUGLY ?!? Not complaining about having the work, though- it's great to have work!
Nothing blooming here yet except crocuses...yet my honeybees are finding some pollen from somewhere...I see them bringing it in on they little leg baskets. :p I'll be raising some new colonies from that hive this summer- yay for baby hives! :D
Guess I better pump up my flat winter bike tires sometime soon and get off my lazy butt now that it hits the 40'sF every day.
Do you sell your honey? I'd love to buy some!Quote:

What herb did Kit try for sleep? I found valerian helped me, even though it smells like socks. :rolleyes:
