Summertime Flings, Flowers and Other Things

May 18, 2010 21:10


I've been looking through the free layouts on LJ. Um, I think that's what they're called. Does anyone think I should, like, change mine for summer? Speaking of which I hear the summer colds are going around. Don't forget to wash your hands, people. We don't need the prison to end up a quarantine zone. In fact, I'm gonna do some laundry later. If ( Read more... )

I hope you'll enjoy the care package when it arrives, Ms. Miney. I'll be sure to include a few extras as well.

Also, it's good to hear that you seem to be doing all right? I think? I'm glad the gentlemen are behaving themselves. We don't have co-ed prisons in Cohdopia, so it's rather a new concept for me!

Please do take care of yourself, if there's something going around the prison. I wouldn't want you to fall ill.

Thank you very much, Mr. Ambassador! I'm sure I will. Despite the reactions I saw on your post about it, my neighbors who know about it seem to be excited. Oh, I'll do my best to keep the summer bugs away from everyone. I used to be a nurse, so sometimes my skills can come in handy.

Really? But that's all right. Co-ed prisons aren't a popular concept with a lot of people, sir. Well, at least in the US they don't seem to be. Women activists I've come across definitely aren't big fans. But the amount of studies that show the co-ed concept can be pretty positive has been increasing, I think. I've been here for, like, two years now and nothing super-violent has happened yet. (That could be because a lot of the inmates are somewhat familiar with each other, I guess.)

Speaking of prisons I've heard that Cohdopia's law system can be pretty harsh. But I guess a lot of places outside the US are still, like, really strict when it comes to punishment. How have the crime rates been doing for Cohdopia lately?

Ah, I see, you were a nurse! Then I'm sure you'll be fine. You must know just what to do. Your neighbors are fortunate to have you to advise them.

Co-ed prisons are a thought-provoking concept. I'm very glad there hasn't been much violence. That's a relief.

Cohdopia is currently undergoing a period of upheaval, as the country split years ago and is now reuniting. So the crime rates have risen slightly.

The former nation of Babahl (one half of Cohdopia) had already enacted prison reforms, and were more comparable to the US, unlike the correctional system in the former nation of Allebahst. Now the Reunification Committee is deciding on a compromise between the two. It's quite a difficult, drawn-out process! It's an interesting time to be a Cohdopian.

Yep, although it might take them a while to realize it. O_~

It sounds like things have gotten pretty crazy, huh? But you seem to enjoy your job very much in spite of all the hard work, Mr. P. It's so admirable that you're the boss of so many things and you still treat everyone so nicely. Makes me wish I had chosen to work for you instead of my ex-boss! Well um, if I could've. Do you have to be like, from Cohdopia to work for its Embassy?

It's certainly been hectic lately!

Although all people with diplomatic posts are from Cohdopia, I do hire people here in the States for various positions. It's something I feel strongly about, since I try to benefit the local community.

I also try to be a good employer. I always listen to the concerns of everyone here at the embassy.
