Hiya Nan and kid. I bet you can't wait to get some fresh air in your lungs!
Hi Rathermousie. I haven't gotten to know you yet. But I think double shifts stink.

Hi Nannarob.
I have to admit the shift was only an hour longer than normal but what really got me is how it affects responsibilities. Working at both ends of the assembly line sure does give you a work out.
I know there are people in situations that are much worse but it always gets me because I won't call in unless I can't get out of bed. That has only happened once since I started working there a year ago. I know that sometimes to NTs I would seem obsessively loyal to my job but a couple of weeks ago I woke up feeling ill because of something I ate the night before and instead of calling in sick I went in early and asked the pharmacist what I should take so that I would feel well enough to work. (Mmm, run-on sentence I'm sure) I try not to judge my co-workers on why they call out but it is difficult not to feel that they could be more dedicated or considerate.

I am more like one of those small animals that growls and snaps at you and the more fierce it attempts to look the more you say things like, "Awww, look, she's trying to defend her pups. Thats so cute"
Oh cripes yes, that attitude burns my backside as well. They might as well pat you on the head and be done with it. In these situations it can work wonders to go all quiet, then give 'em your best Icy Stare of Impending Doom. The only difficulty there? When you practice this look in front of the mirror, you scare the bejeebers out of your OWN self.
Merle, nice to see you!
And, speaking of cute: Sapphix, the new avie and waving kitty are adorable!

(Please don't give me the Icy Stare!
)Supposedly I could do the Icy Stare really well when I had glasses to look over. I guess since I gave them up for contacts I doomed myself. The only people it seems to work on now are the close friends who are more afraid because they know the mood or reaction that go along with the look.
One of my best friends who is like my brother will warn off people who don't know me well when they start to tease me on certain subjects. Example, friend says, "You might not wanna say that, did you know she used to play field hockey with the guys?" I am good at, ignore, "please don't do that... stop please", ignore.......... "PLEASE STOP"....ignore.(repeat cycle about three times or more)..*POW* and they have a nice bruise to remember me by before I go right back to sitting peacefully.

And while the person is still thinking, "Did she actually just do that?!" you're over it, and in control again.
Cheers everybody, I have to go tackle Mt Paperwork now. (Wah!)

hi, Lauri! I am thinking about our Nan. . .
But I have the other side of it, too! I am taken WAY too seriously. Honestly, people think I am going to burst upon them like a anvil shaped thunderstorm complete with lightening and tornadoes.
And I think I am barely scratching the surface of my true composure. They are begging off and walking backwards and surrepetitiously calling the cops and I haven't even adequately presented my position on the subject at hand.
Perhaps they are getting a whiff of the real me, that slept in the pines in the cold night, shivering to keep warm, and they know I am dangerous simply because I do not know I am dangerous.

I thought, Wah was Japanese for inner peace. 
Maybe it's, Wa. As in, damn paper work busted my Wa!! Oh well, never mind. It's a tear jerker either way you spell it.
