@TNP That's because it is no big deal.

@somasatori

That is a tough recovery. I'm very impressed that both of you made it through that. There's fewer things more painful than the withdrawals caused by the substances methadone is used to treat. It took a lot to get through there.

Having new priorities is definitely the most important thing. I used to work with teens that often had drug problems, the only way to actually kick the habit was to replace said habit with something new. The more consuming the addiction was, the more things you need to become interested in and the more intense those interests need to be. Glad to see she's focused on building a new life rather than just weaning off parts of the old.

@Duntada

Thank you for saying so! And yeah, my own recovery was due to my wife. I did the same thing you described, actually, subbing out one substance for another by winding up an alcoholic. The five years was for complete sobriety altogether. She's still got quite a long road to travel, and - at least in my experience - it's not something that seems to really be completed. Anyway, thank you for the kind words.

Preemptive TL:DR -
The people I work with are so great sometimes.

I'm officially a crazy pregnant lady:

Not everyone at work knows that I'm pregnant, yet (at least, didn't until now). Just management, so in case something crazy happens, someone knows what's up.

We have a new manufacturer who provides our chocolate icing for icing cakes, now. Icing would not stick on the goddamn cake I was trying to get ready for an order. Ended up breaking down and sobbing over it, right there on the floor in front of my station. Coworker understandably kind of freaks out, goes to get management. I explain through ugly-tears that new frosting is the WORST. There's a pause, and we both bust out laughing. Well, cry-laughing in my case. Store manager brought me a cup of water, meanwhile, as an excuse to see wtf is wrong. Everyone else just kind of...backed away slowly.

Needless to say, I explained myself to my coworkers, and we all got a good laugh out of it. Manager (who just had a baby), spent the rest of the day "protecting me" from the evil fudge icing.

Point is... Even though I hate my job most days, I kind of love my new management and coworkers.

@somasatori It could be a cleverly encoded message! Think of all the hidden meanings that someone like the Carthians or the Free Council could see in this! Brilliant, I tell you.

I used the buttons that said 'Ban' and 'Delete' on the robot, I hope I did it right! If not, I'm sure @Glitch will come mock me thoroughly.

@EmmahSue wouldn't do you such an obvious favor.

@Ganymede has bypassed security protocols! We have a breach!

Fool. The Brotherhood cannot stop the Institute's Coursers.

[Duntada]

The Brotherhood can't even take on a small bandit camp.

Seriously I watched these clowns fly in with three vertibrids, two of them crashed into each other, the third crashed into a fucking tree and killed the paladin using it for cover.

Like a Three Stooges skit!

Ya'll motherfuckers need Caesar.

I am still so torn on who to support in New Reno.

On the one hand I have ancestors who were part of the Blackfoot Tribe, and that's actually who the legion are... on the other hand NCR, have to represent the west coast.

So excited for the next expansion.

Legion. Because.

A Bluetooth keyboard with an iPad gives me a great deal of my keyboard shortcuts I carry over from OS X. It's not new, but I haven't had much reason to experiment with it and I'm able to do what needs to be done without much thinking. Neat.

Poutine day at work..

I need a nap.

[Ganymede]

@SG

Fuck you.

I want poutine now.

[Arkandel]

@Ganymede Poutine is disgusting.
