Did you send the email?! I hope you get this! That's too bad that your friend is unhappy about her move. I hope it turns out to be better than it has been so far for her. It sounds like a really awesome opportunity for you, though - it might be fun to take over for both of them after all this time with too little to do!

I agree that it's really hard to feel competent when you haven't been doing much - but it will come back to you. I watched some videos and fooled around with some tutorials briefly the weekend before last and now I feel just as comfortable as I ever did with some of the network admin stuff I haven't done in years. I still have to google a ton, but thankfully no one is looking over my shoulder anymore!

Ugh, I hate the average reviews. I know that I have a tendency to correlate the 1-5 scoring system that seems commonly used with elementary school grades. C is bad. I don't want a C.

I don't think it's weird to go to an urgent care place, but I am probably the wrong person to ask about it since I would rather use Google than pay for someone to tell me to take Advil. Foot stuff tends to be difficult to diagnose, I think, so you might be better off getting a referral to a specialist and not bothering with someone general at all.

Are you taking advil? I only recently learned that it actually reduces inflammation and helps heal those kinds of injuries. I always just thought of it as a pain killer.

I gave up on shoveling the roof after about two minutes. We bought a roof rake and my BF (who is a foot taller!) did it. The storm missed us, thankfully, too - seems funny to be happy about getting six inches!

I am feeling overwhelmed with this job. I don't get enough time home alone.
