Sorry--I meant with the queda de rins there is only really one arm. The unlocked arm doesn't provide any strength. That woman's pose looks luxurious in comparison--but I would suck equally at it.

Now's really not the time in my industry to get a new job. Places that have openings usually tighten their belts until spring. And I should be getting a new director mid-October, but knowing the ED, it'll be someone who's in her pocket. My beloved coworker had a good friend up for the position, and after her interview, called up my coworker and asked, "Do you really still hate me that much for that thing I did to you that one time?"

So I think I have to at least hang on until April.

I can't believe this woman got as in far in life as she has. Seriously. I witnessed her proving how "open-minded" she was to the electrician by declaring "I think they're mean to him because they think he's gay. You know, what with the coiffed hair and the limp wrists". And whenever a field trip comes from group home of mentally and developmentally challenged, she wants to lock the doors to the public venue of the first floor and makes much noises about it.

She is a c-word. By which I mean: cunt.

Um Zen, you need to make some calls. I am happy to harass you until you do, or to even do some legwork for you to make it happen. It's 9:30 here now. I expect to hear that you have called a shrink before noon my time. DO NOT MAKE ME COME OVER THERE!

Oh, you say that like it's a threat! Thanks for the offer; I appreciate it, but I actually have the numbers to call at hand. I just haven't done it. Mainly because I don't much like the shrink and the mammogram scares me.

But OK, concerned Buffistas, I concede. I will schedule a head-shrinking and a titty-squishing tomorrow, if I can on a Saturday, and Monday if I can't. (I've never understood why it's called "head-shrinking".)

Forget the rest. Schedule the mammogram.

Yes'm.

Kathy, upcoming surgery ~ma! I think you are very brave.

Damn, Juliebird, I do believe I'd use a nastier word than cunt for your ED.

Cash, I think Rachel Maddow is hot.

Juliebird the only practical thing I can think of is go to a board meeting to 'learn more about the organization'if possible. this could give you a better feel for knowing if you can push things up the chain. ( but I would go with some prepared things to say if asked - about plants or access)

Cash, I think Rachel Maddow is hot.

I KNOW! So do I! I'm pretty sure his political bent is right but he's not stupid--he's a pediatric neurosurgeon. He just doesn't get the appeal of her cockeyed smile. Which I find charming.

Cash, I think Rachel Maddow is hot.

Me too!

Polite company.

I am looking at those yoga poses and all I can think is, "Would I have to *hold* them?" and "Ouch."

Good vibes on the surgery, Kathy.

Y'all are reminding me I need to schedule my mammo too. I suggested to my internist that every other year was probably enough for me, but she kinda shrugged and went with every year. Can't hurt, right?

Work call in seven. Then I can shut off brane. Hurry! Everything's been going as smoothly as silk.

I should get a fucking GP. And then a physical. And then the girly bits looked at. Oy.
