'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
And yay for me. I am one step closer to being back on meds. Saw therapist alone today for the first time. She said I had good self-awareness and boundaries- HA!!! So there brain. But agreed I needed some help at least for the moment with anxiety.
Next step is appt with GP to see if she will talk right away with therapist and write script, also possible hormone tests.
Good for you, msbelle!
Yay CJ!
Good for you msbelle.
My boss displayed a level of petty today that I am still agog about. And of course, stuck me riiiiiight in the middle of the pissing contest. Sigh.
My author who didn't answer the requests for data on her paper...has still not answered, after another email and then a phone call from my boss.
Next step is someone a rung higher on the ladder will call and ALSO tell her that her article is being delayed because we really do have a tight schedule. There's virtually no wiggle room for lateness. An article can be late by maybe 2 days, but this author is close to 7 days late, so she's not getting published in the issue she was originally going to be in.
Schadenfreude is so fantastic.

Not nice boss, not nice. Same goes for Teppy's author.
I am so tired of being sick. This go around is less than 24 hours in and I'm just done. I also want CJ home so I can hear all about the first day of Fire Academy.
Timelies all!
Yay CJ!
Good for you msbelle.
So the test today was a full fireman obstacle course. Carrying rolled hose up multiple flights, hauling equipment, pulling a charged hose, carrying a body, a ladder climb and such. Followed almost immediately by a 1/4 mile run. It was all timed and you couldn't pause at all. Apparently the first two to run the course quit at the third obstacle.

Is there any chance her response to this news could get her article dropped entirely? rubs hands in anticipation...

That would be AWESOME.
Man, if it wasn't years with you people, I'd be shocked! SHOCKED!! At the viciousness of editors. Heh.
