Couch 177: I Get a Strange Magic - ELO

Ooooo she has pretty eyes. I need a puppy in my life. Just something to look after other than my plant Meredith.

Woooo! The zero pain is the best bit. I hope your appointment today goes well. When do you next see T?

Not for another week and a half It's okay though. I'm used to 2 weeks. At least she allows me email in between. She's there when I need her.

When are you seeing your T next?

Maybe we could go find nemo? Hes so cuuuuuuute!!!

P Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney.

I am contacting potential graders for interviews and wishing they could somehow legally indicate their gender on their application (ambiguous first name AND middle name). Googling only tells me s/he has a history of speeding tickets.

I’m gonna guess female despite the military experience.

I hear you. I just got done grading an employment test for an applicant who ended up failing the test which makes three applicants in a row that have failed. It's a long and arduous process trying to find the right person/people for the role.

Leaving some gentle hugs in here for those that need

How are her speeding tickets googlable?

Yessssss......repeat speeding offenders need some lurve too.

There are websites which (without one's permission) collect the info from the court website (which is publicly available) and show up when you search for someone's name. There's a varying time lag between when the website collects it versus when it appears on the court's site -- so can be years to weeks.

Not at all speaking from experience of course. No sirree.

I realized after I sent the email I could just have called her Sergeant and avoided the problem altogether.

Were you writing in English?

Dear Applicant Jones?

I do enjoy The Onion. Tried to post a link but it went all weird.

"Nation’s Therapists Say Majority Of Issues Could Be Resolved By Not Being So Weird All The Time
“Clients come in to talk to me about things in their lives that are making them unhappy, and nine times out of 10 they could resolve the issue just by not being such a weirdo,” said Dallas-area psychotherapist Jesse DeStefano, adding that everyone has a choice whether to go through life as a total freak or not, and that those who don’t are healthier and more productive. “The process is very simple. When you start thinking about something weird—at work, at home, on a date—stop doing that and think about normal things instead. It’s really quite easy.”"

PC is playing silly buggers with URLs.

Yes - and I deleted it.

I have six minutes to cancel on Info tomorrow.

Don't do it!

Do you want to cancel?

I was thinking about it. Too late now.

I am massively annoyed with her and her flakiness.

((atisketatasket))

If you ever find a non-flaky therapist, let me know!

T in an hour. Seems like it's been longer than 2 weeks!

I know. I'm still trying to adjust to therapy every two weeks approx. instead of every week. I don't like it.

I think I’m gonna change my username to The Third Mr Luna.
