Nooo! Emma Chambers has died of natural causes.

I miss Lexine

My dice hate me...

Ping me on Arx? I was Adam / Teresa / Magdalen on DS, and am Elsbetta on Arx

When I was asking @chime for a lot of work, I paid her. Because there is asking for help and then there is taking the piss. I'd pay for code, if I still ran a game but yes, be careful of why you are doing it and the unintended outcomes (people's expectations change if they are paying for stuff).

Trump: The only thing that can make me agree with Jeremy C^Hunt. Do you know how painful that is? He is a weasel who is breaking apart a health service I love and shitting on my day to day job. And now I have to agree with him because of the Wotsit Coloured President.

Randolph Lalonde's Spinwarde Fringe series.
L.S. King Dueces Wild series..

Stay at home if you are unwell.. Especially do not have dinner with your friends. Thanks for that.

@auspice I don't know if you have Meijer where you are, but they carry a specific Hanes sports bra that I have fallen in love with. This thing keeps up with me during 12 hour days, in a warehouse, without poking, stabbing, itching, pinching, binding, or chafing. It even stops that grungy feeling from it being too warm and getting sweaty. I'm already scouring local stores to find extras in my size.

I've yet to find a sports bra outside of Panache that can handle my 36HH self. :
(I also don't have Meijer; haven't since leaving Cincinnati region in '07.)

Look at the Bravissimo shop - although they are uk, they ship worldwide, and are decently priced. I'm an addict, never shop elsewhere any more.

I miss Brodburger from Canberra

@fortydeuce Hehe I did uni lecturing over there and I FEEL your pain! My fav was "I didn't have time to write it because I have this other essay, and I have to go to placement" - Like every other student.

(I use spoon theory at work to illustrate to my patients why they should all delegate where they can)

My gf and I use it all the time, just to communicate and express our needs and wants:

"Hey babe, do you have spoons to cut my hair tonight?"

"I dunno maybe, I'm pretty tapped out. Work cost me a lot of spoons today. Can we do it tomorrow?"

It helps to understand that it's not personal if someone doesn't want to do something, and it's not an 'excuse'. We respect each other's spoon usage and needs.

We use it as a get out of jail thing just like you! Himself has a low social spoon level, and I don't but I get brain fogged and out of thinking (or manic and demanding Everything Happens NOW!). Its a good way to communicate the amount of energy. The only amendment I make to the original is that there are different spoon pools - I might have physical ones but not social.

NHS budget cuts. I can't find 4% of my budget without cutting patient facing things, like home visits (costs fuel, less economic in time). Bring on the revolution.

I used to work with social workers who would send me a long, rambling email and then two minutes later come to tell me what it said, with added details, when I was obviously flat out. All I wanted for them to tell me was the problem, and what they wanted from me. Just the facts. I don't need to know that the patient gave you biscuits and tea. They also persisted in stopping for morning and afternoon tea (a very Aussie workplace thing it seemed to me), and social events and ... oh god, the forced social interactions.

Like many other people, I have a degree of impostor syndrome when it comes to work. I

Oh god yes. I keep waiting for someone to point out that I don't know stuff about my work. Waiting to be found out, and people treating you like you know a lot...

The Commuter: 2 hours of fast paced tedium. Save yourselves. The people behind us had a conversation, breaking The Code and I was happy to have something interesting to listen to.

Watched three billboards last night. Very emotional, with laughter and tears. Good film, if you enjoy discovering that everyone is flawed, and some brilliant acting by Francis McDormand, and I loved it.

Planning to see a lot of films over next two days....

First week as the manager of a team that was in crisis. I survived, so did the team. So. Bloody. Tired. Now.
