Uh oh now I'm browsing and I want like ten help

FRIGGIN RIGHT. As soon as I have money I have got my eye firmly on a particular pair of cat's eye ones.

Oh gosh I love those so much, where did you shop online for them?

zennioptical.com! I am so impressed tbh, I am a walking talking zenni's advertisement. They cost all of ten bucks non counting shipping, LENSES INCLUDED. And they came with a super cute case and cleaning cloth. Like, this is a price at which I'd be willing to get backups in different styles just for the heck of it. Count me a fan.

Might be time to nuke it. I reinstalled my laptop recently and it was a pain but it was the best thing to do.

RIDICULOUS. THE ONLY DEFEAT IS DEATH. I switched off my wifi and used SAS's "explore your PC" dealio to basically go through all the dlls and processes and temp files, google each one by one on Mel's computer, and manually delete the ones that were malware. I had like three worms and four or five trojans in addition to all the adware crap. I just turned my wifi back on and no popups though, so I think I'm clean!

Oh no! Ansley, there are no words. This doesn't help Mel's anxiety either. SO GLAD you found this out before making a $4000 commitment though.

yeah, or even making it through training and hoping we both got stuck with upstanding citizens to train us and that our money didn't run out before they decided to start paying us a living wage. the good news is I guess I'll be able to see you when you're in town :P

Obviously don't know full story but most states have a law--a landlord must give at least 24 hrs advance notice before entering. Different story if you open the door voluntarily & he sees inside while talking. Can you find & give him rent instead?

Well we know he's prob coming today because it's the first, so rent day. But "sees inside" is a bit different from "invites himself inside," like he did last month to tell us to clean things up. And IT'S NOT EVEN DIRTY. It's a bit cluttered but NOT landlord's-business dirty. It makes me so mad. I'm gonna barricade myself in the door I stg. Anyway, there's also laws about having no smoke alarms and an ongoing roach problem, but.

I know there's more to this but I recommend reading the book Crucial Conversations. Totally changed my thinking on dealing with uncomfortable talks when you just want to agree & get it over with. Maybe it would help you too? It's honestly very good.

I might try it if I can get my hands on it! The weird/stupid thing though is that this is SO UNLIKE ME.

I'd planned the conversation thoroughly beforehand, and I was all anger and frustration. I changed personalities completely as soon as I was being stared down by a figure of authority--suddenly my little inner pilot in my brain is mashing keys going "nope nope aBORT ABORT be quiet be good mom is gonna be mad oh god oh god be quiet be good say your lines right or she'll just get angrier"

it's just. A really uncomfortable, unwelcome but in retrospect really obvious thing to realize about myself.
