New place seems like fantastic people, and the company has some serious skyrocket potential. Best of all, they appear to really, really want my skillset, aptitude, and personality. Squeee!!

Curious if the studies measure whether the person had those "skills" and lost them, or instead used those "skills" to their advantage and then jettisoned them once they were no longer needed because they had power now. (Put another way, I think using empathy as a "skill" kinda already devalues it!)

3rd cup of coffee must have just hit. Because an overwhelming wave of giddy sedation settled into my body from the head down.

Ha! I had that happen with a guy who let his foot off the brake behind me at a red light. The relief that flooded across his face made me wonder if he had a body in the trunk.

If someone said "you're getting a matching grant" to you and didn't specify a matching percentage, you would assume 100% and not 10%, right? Cause...disappointed now.

I think it's reasonable to see their point of view, and to even be aware that sharing might impact some people meaningfully, and to STILL decide that this ain't a good time for that for you! All 3 can be true.

I think you shouldn't have to share if you're not fully comfortable and actively wanting to. One's life experiences aren't just there to be made meaningful by how they impact others in their retelling. The impact to YOU takes priority.

I spoke too soon. The headache pain was just on a longer delay. Oh, people. I want a new body.

Migraine has hit. Headache pain is only in momentary waves (thankfully). But the hot/cold, soreness, dizziness, weak muscles, and sight and smell aversion are steadily building. Send chocolate brownies!

Being surrounded by dullards sucks. One of my best moments with an otherwise not great boss was when he bust out into a wheezing giggling fit when I frustratedly referred to a lazy coworker as Bartleby. The need to be understood is real!!

I've lived with people who slept with a bedroom AC on. But this is my first time choosing to myself! Don't want a repeat of last night's sweaty tossing and turning.

Every time you make fun of trump for his fatness, you tell every fat person that their body is bad, and tell any kids in the vicinity that they better not be fat or their bodies will be bad too

Didn't know about this until today. I only buy GT Synergy kombucha when my local maker is out AND the store is out of Brew Dr. But I won't be doing that anymore!

Ah...reminiscent of how "if you can't afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you" skips over how you'll still have to pay for that attorney.

That's highway robbery! It was about $5 per load, wash AND dry, in the apartments I rented with paid machines. I (inadvertently) figured out how to scam the place that used an app for payment, though.

AAARRRGH! Though I'm tempted to go to a laundromat just to get my clothes actually clean. I keep renting places with high efficiency washers, so you have to wash everything 2 or 3 times, and it still doesn't get clean.

Today Sam asked for the window up here. So the window he gets. (Yes...I really need to decide on window shades and dump the landlord-supplied busted up temporary ones!)

Happened to me. I mean, I was half crazy already. But 3.5 years of sleep deprivation and nonstop daily noise left me a basket case. I gained 20 pounds and became vitamin & mineral deficient. I finally got out of there 2 months ago and it's an immense improvement. (Still fat, though. 😅)

🤣 Oh, I have stories. In college I showed up to work one day after taking 3 sudafed. A guy who worked with me who I'm pretty sure actually sold speed was like, "what the hell are you on?" Wouldn't believe me it was sudafed!

Ah, aleve. I tried that once a bunch of years ago before a wedding. Passed out cold on the train on the way, and my partner could barely wake me. I then apparently acted perfectly normal, but I have no recollection of the day. Weird shit!

Me too! Now the scramble to remember what sometimes works to kill the thing before it really sets in. (Mostly, eating everything in sight.)
