-I showered and put on fresh lounge clothes. This is the highlight of my day.
-I haven't really shared with anyone that I'm looking for work. I need to alert my network and get feeders out there.... But I'm having a hard time "spinning it". I know how and will but the actual action is causing anxiety.
-I'm thankful that I've stuck it out for over a year and finally have a great network here. It's great knowing I have people irl on my side.
I've had signatures/avatars turned off since we moved to proboards so I could read at work without being (quite so) obvious. I turned them back on today, and wow there are some big ones! I'm so glad we can turn off that feature or I'd have likely been in trouble long ago, lol. But it's fun to see some of your kids/pets/tickers that I didn't know about.
a few months ago I was talking to rikki and v about my retin a, and they asked if I had gone through the sloughing period. I said that I thought I had but wasn't sure. wrong! I was wrong.
it's definitely here now. my derm upped my dosage from .04% to .1% and my skin is revolting. I have two angry zits and I've been peeling for two days. last night I was so annoyed with it all that I decided to go hog wild and exfoliate w/ these pads I have. my skin was so red and shiny afterwards -- pretty sure I took off at least a couple layers.
this is all pretty gross. but if I make it through this period I'll have much better skin forever, right?
A male co-worker who just got promoted to a big-deal job was a total dick to a woman who works for me.
I want to kick him in the balls. What is wrong with you, asshole, why can't you just assume good intent and not be a fucking jerk to this awesome lady?
I got DH to go to a vegan (and gluten free) restaurant with me and it was pretty good. Never in my wildest dreams would I think I could ever get him to go since he's very much a steak and potatoes guy.
