I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

It's just...I used to be in customer service-or, well the service industry. If someone is unhappy, doesn't have the right information, or whatever, the #1 thing to do before anything else is apologize.
Doesn't matter if they're wrong, doesn't matter if it's not your fault. You say "I'm sorry." and then proceed to find a solution. (Apologizing also makes you take the extra minute or two so you don't react to someone who is wrong like a wrong sandwich on salad day).
The thing is, even if you had misread the website, what does it matter? He should have been sorry you were in the wrong place regardless of how it happened.

We weren't trying, which is probably why I'm not finding it more traumatic. 16 weeks and we didn't even know until Jon came home to find me delivered and unconcious on the bedroom floor.
I honestly think the sight of that made it emotionally worse for him.

Oh God, I'm so sorry. How horribly scared he must have been. I'm glad you're okay.

Thanks, me too!
Though, the whole experience makes us twitchy about the healthcare debate. Particularly when the conversation comes around to whether or not to cover girly bits. Had I needed a DNC, I'd like to think a public option would pay for it.

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.
Oh, gosh, DJ, either way it sucks. Lots of hugs to both of you.

Hillary, I'm really sorry you are having this problem. It is obvious to me that your problem is not lack of academic skills. You have an asshat adviser, and don't have sufficient asshat management skills. Can't give you advice, cause my skills in dealing with asshats are limited to smiting or walking away. And since I know changing advisers this late in the game is nearly impossible neither of those apply. But I can define the problem, and it is not you but your adviser. And there are probably ways to deal with this, and I hope someone on with the right kind of experience can make practical suggestions.

I recall you blindly asking for brackets in the spring, but not saying why. All the more support for you now.
