ghost-angel Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Re: The cranky thread Thanks for the tips' date=' folks.[/quote'] Talked to my brother.. his was caught late, so reasoning him through it was easy. He got tutors for math, which is still his weak point. For reading he said that me and my Dad went out and found stuff he would want to read - no matter the material. For my part he said giving him all my Harper Series DnD books was a big help. His best advice was make sure he's reading something HE finds interesting, anything at all helps. And then it's a matter of pacing.. he read slow but he was reading and comprehending. So really. Dealing with dyslexia seems to be a matter of perseverance and support.

OddHat Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Re: The cranky thread I have a migraine, which is pushing me into a bad mood that may last the rest of the day. Excedrin may or may not help, but I've taken some. Also, there's a huge bruise on my right arm from a cable slip while exercising, my new haircut shows how thin my hair has gotten on top, my work gets me no respect, and the fact that I am not a multi-bllionaire internationally renowned philanthropist and diplomat seems unlikely to change. Also, I need coffee, and the kitchen is too far away. On the other hand, I remain sexy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seanaci Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Re: The cranky thread Yay for being able to take half a day off yesterday for the bosses daughters graduation. Boo for having to be back to work today. 1) Because it's Friday. 2) Because I had nothing to bill (they did it all yesterday so the month of May looked good money-wise *eye roll). 3) Because not 2 minutes after I got here, the VP was at my desk: "So, what are you gonna be doing today since we got all the billing done yesterday?" "I have some Pro-Tech stuff I can do." "Well, I have some PO's that need to be entered and released to the floor. So, come with me and I'll show you what can be entered." *ish handed a nice big pile of stuff to key...* So...here it is, nearly 2 hours later and I'm just finishing. And I'm still not done. Now I've gotta go fax the acknowledgements off and make a copy of each PO to put with the master op sheets and give those to the VP...then throw the original PO copies (as well as the acknowldegement and fax confirmation) in the basket to be filed. I really do hate when the CSR is on vacation. It makes more work for me to do. And the part that really sucks is, when I take time off, my co-worker and boss do the billing (a huge part of my job that has to be done daily) but leave everything else for me to do (not a huge deal because it's just keying AP invoices and invoicing the paint company)...yet when the CSR takes off, I'm expected to do most of her work for her. >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatinKitty Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Re: The cranky thread I'm so Undomestic. We eat out all the time and it costs a fortune. We were eating at home most nights for a while, but lately we have backslided. It's expensive and fattening, but like I said, I'm very Undomestic. I'll have to get rich so I can hire a Chef.

Mantis Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Re: The cranky thread Offspring update (non-cranky): My wife had spoken to a Vice-Principal about our son, and the VP sounded like a piece of work from my wife's description of the meeting and her point-blank refusal to assist in any way. I suggested she seek an appointment with the Principal instead. She saw him today and he didn't offer any specific assistance, but did accept that the school needed to make some effort and offered to do all that he could to help. That at least stopped my wife talking so adamantly about changing schools, which I felt was the worse thing we could do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OddHat Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Re: The cranky thread The old debates never go away, even when I tell myself to stay out of them. The old anger never goes entirely away, even when I tell myself not to hold on to it. Oh, and there's going to be another depression in two years, and I'll be jobless, and my beloved wife will be miserable. Mm. I should say something funny here, but I'm just not feeling it.
