Could you get your kids to turn down the DVD?

BTW, they do sound pretty young, but I still think HIPAA would frown on your dictating while sitting beside them, especially since you're a psych consultant, and this patient is one weird potato chip doing some pretty kinky things with cleaning equipment.

[I loathe the new Dumbledore.  If he doesn't settle into the role (dumbledore is a bumblebee, not a wasp who throws Harry up against trophy cases), the end of the sixth movie will have us all begging Snape to blast him.]

I've only seen the first one at the movies, but I'm not much of a movie or TV person.  More of a reader. Can't wait to get the book to add to the collection.  Started the collection with my son who has lost interest at 15.  He looks like Harry though.  He went to the playground one day when he was 12 (dark hair, little round glasses) and all of the little kids were screaming, "It's Harry Potter!  It's Harry Potter!" and running after him.  He said, "MOM, IT WAS AWFUL!"  He now has contact lenses and he put his magic wand away.

yet, but listen and see if this pans out to be the "phone call" Beth referred to in the interview with Charlie Croes.

Why don't one of you MQ whiners start a blog so the rest of us with the good sense NOT to stay with a crappy company don't have to see your "poor me" posts.  It is not that we read them, it is just a pain to have to navigate around them.  If you don't have the sense God gave a goose and leave a company that treats you so shabbily, then you deserve to be there.  Just don't subject the rest of us to your pity parties.  Someone start a blog, where you can all go and whine to each other, while your kids "starve".  Btw, if your kids were starving, it would be your faults for not getting a job that would buy your groceries and pay your bills.

We did used to have a wild time.  I absolutely love TQ now that it is no more.  I used to have so much fun and got paid to do it.  Man--I was making $ hand over fist--bought my house--paid cash for all my furnishings, etc.--worked my @*#% off but it was great!!

I hate Pampered Chef parties and all those that I get invited to where it is really about me paying for junk.

Who else hates these things?

company-covered bar tabs, having someone come and listen to your blanks, staff meetings, being able to look someone in the eye, your supervisor inviting everyone over to her house for brunch on Sunday. Having the choice whether to work in the office or work at home.

The downside? The typical problems working with a bunch of women. Then there was the fact that I was not a social butterfly and didn't like the endless requests for money to fund birthday, wedding, baby, sick, divorced, married parties, Tupperware, Chef this, Southern that yadda yadda yadda fests. The lunch you were so looking forward to no longer being the in fridge, but the wrapping is in the trash. A favorite reference book being found on someone else's desk at the other end of the hall. And she smokes. Ergo, your book now smells to high heaven because she sneaks her smokes in the office during her late night shift, and her nasty, smelly fingers have been all over it (only a nonsmoker will understand how awful this).  And she claims she doesn't know HOW the book got there when you ask.

Would I do it all again? In a heartbeat.
