I am not saying that nurses are all like that but she was pretty shocked at their attitude.

Women are effin catty. I used to work in an environment of 85% women and it was awful. I have a friend who works at Brigham and Womens and its the same there. Such b*tches!

Well, I don't drink but there was a young delivery boy who would bring me free cookies from D'Angelo's. Now, there is a lady who does the deliveries so you can bet there goes my free cookies.

Congratulations, Gaius!

The trick to being a great librarian, is to make the job look easier than it is. Remember that.

You're so cool Mari. I guess lagringader&r was just trying to be cool when she expressed what she did with her no doubt upsetting post. I suggest you turn it around and see how pathetic it is that when being alerted to what plenty of others see here, you (not specifically you but inclusively) just ridicule and repress them further. Kind of proves the point in a way.

you know, eh.. And now in English, please? Oh never mind.. and I mean that. It's all just silly.
Bet you just can't stand it I'm right, eh

You encounter what you create, Lux.

and here's that Brian Wilson review, or better, the Brian Wilson backing band review
They played all Beach Boys greatest hits, a few new songs (2 or 3) and just one song from Smile (Heroes & Villains, what else).
It was all well 'executed' and showing off their musicianship.. but they sounded more like a group of musicians put together than an actual band, you know? They'd copied the songs pretty well, so much that the few mistakes here and there were maybe extra noticable. You're almost going, hey that's not on the record! Some a capella singing, both times they ended up lower than they started which drives me crazy. It was all a bit slick, maybe.
Wilson sat like a hand puppet behind a keyboard he didn't play, but he did sing pretty well. Even got up to dance a little during one song at the end.
I think I brought down the age statistics a bit from the visitors Saw a couple of Dutch celebs passing by too. Lots of hawaiian shirts, of course Good atmosphere. Crowd didn't get up from their seats until the band came back for the last few songs though, but then they wouldn't stop dancing (which was ... interesting... to look at )
I had a good time, and I can say I saw Brian Wilson now but I'm not convinced this was worth 60 euros.

oww. edit. we can just recap all of this under Nostalgia.

Yes, you're older than me but you're still so young. I know it's hard for you to believe, and I think that's because society has us thinking that life is supposed to take off at 18 when that isn't always the case. In fact, I think usually it isn't the case at all. So my point is that you have a long life ahead of you and there's plenty of time for much, much more to happen for you. And by the way, I've seen at least one pic of you on here and I do not think you looked remotely overweight. You are a really good-looking woman. (It's kind of a requirement for membership to the Ledge to be good-looking, anyway ). You're not alone in your frustration and I can't blame you for feeling that way, but I really hope you feel better.

I just want to say that what you think your life's mission might be, might change over time....in the last 10 years Ive gone from wanting to be an environmental attorney to a child advocate, and I never saw this coming, so you just never know...be open to new challenges and recognize new opportunities for what they are

It's been a while since I've studied anything, I was working for a few years in between and most of this year I've been unemployed, so I'm glad to get my ass back into gear.

Now more random thoughts: I need to go and swim in a lake, it's too hot in here.

I haven't read all the posts in this thread (I can no longer keep up with this thread ) but I wanted to say congratulations and best of luck to you, Gaius. I think that's a really cool job! My mom's a librarian and she rocks.

And I need to go swimming, too. Sounds good.

Hey! My mom's a librarian too!!!

Well actually she works in a library but I'm not sure she's a librarian lol - she works in a "special collections" unit - where all the old and rare books are etc - as well as archives...so yeah...anyway - she's a library lady with weird library friends.

Not that library people are wierd (and not that I'm saying that weird is a bad thing) - but the folks from my mom's library...weird.
