Last night I didn't get home til about 1:30 a.m., and I hadn't had the foresight to blog before work, so that means my streak is broken. This is what happens when your silly company won't let you blog at work. Fools. Apparently they expect me to WORK or something.
Ok, I was so busy yesterday at work, I didn't really have time to blog. But if I had, I would've shared this quote from a transcript I was working from. So, I'm writing a huge (huge - it's about 35 pages in Word) thing for our website about a sensitive medical condition. It's one that, if you don't have it, you might not understand that people who have it are really sensitive about it, and you might ask a lot of stupid questions.
So I talked to a totally cool counselor about all the issues surrounding this condition, and here she was talking about how to avoid someone's questions about the somewhat controversial decisions you may have made about your care:
"But overall, if you're okay, everybody else is okay. So, if you feel
comfortable with what you've done, and you present yourself that way,
people generally are a little bit more interested in talking about
themselves anyway."
That totally makes me laugh. Because it's so true - it's like distracting a small child (or me) with something shiny. You get them talking about themselves, and indeed, most people probably would completely forget to bug you about how you got pregnant at age 45.

OK, now I am very intrigued! Sounds very interesting. Is it that thing that happens when you blush very deeply at the drop of a hat?
Heh. No - I gave it away in the last paragraph.
