Brief, stressed-out update

OMG, work has been just soooooooo--- WORKY lately. Like today: I was on the phone for 8 hours straight with no break and then had to go to a 2 hour dinner meeting afterwards. My face actually hurts, from talking on the phone to hundreds of teens and their parents. Oy.

Well, I went to Uncle John's funeral the other week. It was just incredibly

you've been posting so much about asking people to volunteer to fill out the reference forms, that I am just curious why you don't get in touch with the specific people who knew you from that time period and ask them to do it directly?? maybe they are missing the posts. or maybe you already did that and if so, sorry for the suggestion. =-)

Previously I did that (on a previous go-around in this process) and people ended up fillng them out who didn't really want to, I guess I made them feel put on the spot.

So this time I'm asking for volunteers so I only get people who are intersted, and I get nothing.

The worst part is that people who I think are some of my longest-standing friendships are saying they don't know me well enough. So I guess-- they are big-deal friends to ME, and I'm not a big-deal friend to them. (I'm totally having "maybe they're not that into you" syndrome.)
