TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Yay! Hope it goes well! Pity it's not in SLC though : P Thanks! It's on Thursday, so I've only got a week to panic. I would've liked that one too. *claps* That's good to know. I hope they make the right decision. Thanks!
Briar King Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) So hear I am telling my kids about the pics of Pluto coming in and my 8 year old son looks at me, "What's Pluto?" I completely forgot that all him and my girls text books would be edited with its downgrade. Still when he asked me that I fell over loln Edited July 16, 2015 by Briar King 1

Orlion Blight he/him Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I have an interview with the library system in my city for a librarian position. Congratulations! Just remember to let them know that they get the antidote after they hire you. 3
Edgedancer he/him Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 And my mother's operation was a success, that's a step in the right direction. 7
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 And my mother's operation was a success, that's a step in the right direction. That's awesome! How's she doing?
Edgedancer he/him Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 That's awesome! How's she doing? Well she's still recovering from the op, so she'll have to stay in the hospital for a good amount of time. Plus, they'll have to make absolutely sure the cancer didn't have time to spread, even if the chances are low, so she isn't completely in the green yet but we are most likely out of the immediate threat for her life. 1
Silverblade5 he/him Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 In a couple hours I'm going to leave on a three day camping trip with my Dad and then hike a fourteener with him. 1
The Honor Spren she/her Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Omygosh, so much happened this week I don't know where to start. I'm on a road trip in Utah. Now that I've seen Utah/Salt lake valley that's what I imagine Shinovar to look like. (Except more fertile) I had a family reunion dinner today. There were so many cousins, that I felt like a Herdazian. I got a bob cut! I'm going to Bryce Canyon soon! It will be like visiting the Shattered Plains! 2
Kobold King he/him Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Perhaps too bittersweet to go on this thread, but... The veterinary clinic that put my cat down last week just sent a sympathy card in the mail, signed by everybody who works there. That... that's a very kind gesture and I'm glad they did it. 6

ljósmóður she/her Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 I'm applying for a job! To be fair, I've been doing that all year since my youngest started full-time school but they've mostly been very low-paid jobs that had no potential to lead to a career and, because I have a degree and a post-graduate qualification I seemed to be over-qualified for most of them. This one, though, has the potential to be perfect. A Parent Support Adviser, working with a cluster of schools all very close by. Part time with child-friendly hours and actually using my degree, my post-grad and my previous work. And something I feel passionate about - making a difference in the lives of disadvantaged children and their parents. Having a hard time writing my personal statement. I think I want it so much that I'm frightened of saying the wrong thing and blowing my chances at an interview. But, finding something that fits, feels good. 3

Just tell them that you'll do exactly what you're told, and you'll do well. It should be fine.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 I know this is small, but I was feeling really down tonight. I felt miserable all day, actually. I just felt like curling up on the floor when I took a load of laundry past Mollie. She must've noticed, because a minute later, she walked up to me, wagging her tail, carrying a shoe. 3

Dogs are simple creatures. That's not a bad thing, though--it just means they're purer creatures than we are. Simple constructs of love and devotion and caring. We'd do well to emulate them. I hope you start feeling better--it sucks that you feel this way. Is there anything we can do to lift your spirits? 1

I don't mean to sound too bitter here, but she definitely showed me more concern than the rest of the family today. Not sure. I watched Emperor's New Groove and now I'm about halfway through Monsters vs. Aliens. Just asking me helped, though. 2

I watched Emperor's New Groove and now I'm about halfway through Monsters vs. Aliens. Just asking me helped, though. That's the problem with being sapient beings. Sapience doesn't put us above the animals like a lot of people think it does--all it does is fill our minds with bizarre thoughts and concerns that overshadow the basic compassion and loyalty that animals can feel relatively unimpeded. Glad laughter is helping you get through this. If you need to talk, you know where to find us. 1

Glad laughter is helping you get through this. If you need to talk, you know where to find us. Good point. Makes me want to be more of a dog-like person. I mean, not in the lick-random-people-to-say-hello sort of way, but more the way Mollie did tonight. See someone who's upset, and do whatever it takes to cheer them up. Thanks. 1
