"I don't need a fucking pill, I need a fucking job!"
They're not mutually exclusive! In fact, the right pills can make the job hunting way more successful.
(Note to all the narcotics officers lurking: I mean ADs, not speed.)
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ugh. I know the feeling of thinking real life will fix your mood, not pills. But in the meanwhile? Pills totally fixed my mood, or made it bearable. It's just really hard to hear, sometimes.
I've been reblogged by goodstuff! I feel like I've made it now.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
It's probably not helping her either that the pervading sentiment these days seem to be, "Not having a job is your fault and medicating is being weak and that's probably why you don't have a job." It's really mean and so hurtful to people, and I'm sorry your sister has internalized it.

That's what I told her! She's in no shape to go job hunting. She's upset with herself because six months ago, she could have taken unemployment and gotten job retraining paid by the state. She chose, instead, to take the temp gig and now they won't release her from the job. She's 48 years old with no degree. I understand why she's upset and depressed. But if she doesn't get her shit straight, she's going to keep being miserable.
You'd think she's listen to me--the only sister of hers with actual experience with ADs. They've saved me and made me an easier person to live with.

Oh, Cashmere, that sucks.
Also, I am ready to choke a bitch at UCLA's Procedure Unit. Hello. What time is surgery tomorrow? GROWL.

Whatever time they tell you will be wrong. But at least you'll be able to know one time it won't be!
Hey, Kat, Burrell, are we doing dinner Wednesday? I don't know if I'll be in the office that day or not, but 6 or later should be fine for me.

Dinner, yes, for me at least. I'll have a worn down and out kid in tow (sorry) so if you want to forego that's fine. Though I'm craving Indian and would love to see you.

Oh noes, more online training for really basic administrative crap. SO BORING.
And slow because the year for tracking training is the calendar year, so lots of people are accessing the training site and it's slow like molasses. Bah.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
People, why won`t the Things All Clean Their Damn Selves? Although, I must say, the SO did the guest bathroom, bless him, and lots of other stuff. But I am just in the throes of All The Things. I should probably do minor housekeeping more than just when someone`s coming over, huh? Or maybe have people over more often. Okay, next before checking back here...deck stuff to shed, wood from shed to deck. Then clothes away, then dinner.
