What are you eating/doing today? (Friday)

Well that sucks on the one day thing - if you'd been allowed the full conference, you could have joined us for dinner on Wednesday! Enjoy the movie, looks great! And please do tell Trudy that I promise to behave myself if she would like to unblock me.

P.S. You wrote: "....as much bran and crap I can get into me...". Isn't the idea to get the crap OUT?

I slay me sometimes.

i know!!!! he's an ass. my boss that is.

and yes, dear Karen, the idea is to get the crap outta me.... sigh.

Well, what are you supposed to get out of one day of a three day conference?  I find the last day tends to culminate the information and puts it all together for you. Too bad you'll miss out on that.  Do you get to stay at a hotel or are you doing chez-kids?

i'm staying with my kids, because he's not paying for a hotel either. i'm soooooooooooo wanting another boss. I like my job, just not the management. He's so cheap when it comes to conferences, he doesnt see much value in them. Whatever. I'm over it. lol

The best part is the shoe shopping on Sunday!! lol

Ah well.  It'll be nice to spend a little time with the girls anyway.  And you're right, your boss is an ass. lol  BTW, what's the conference focus? 

It's put on by the Human Justice Services Coordination Committee. Mental Health and the law, exploring strategies for dealing with mentally ill who come into contact with the law, what's going on thats right (basically nothing) what needs changing (basically everything). It's very interesting, and i know lots of people who are going to be there.

*sigh*  I would have LOVED to attend this conference!  I attended something similar here in Mississauga a few years ago, focused on youth, mental health and the law. 

it's very interesting. They often have someone speaking who's been through the system, and its nice to hear from them. Lots of judges, police, mental health workers, etc. attend the conference, its awesome for networking. I'll let you know when things like this come up, Karen.

I'd really appreciate that.  Being in Recreation and Parks, I hear about a gajillion recreation-based conferences, but not mental health, which is my job.  So I have to seek them out myself - often too late.  Thanks again! 

MONICA -

try going to the Bulk Food Barn and getting Senna tea.

It's usually labelled something like "Digestive" tea - check the active ingredients for Senna.
Have a cup later in the evening today.
In the morning, you will be emptied out, not violently, but certainly emptied.

It tastes a bit like Henna, if you've ever smelled that. Sort of grassy.
I had huge constipation problems despite lots of bran and stool softeners. The tea worked wonders.
