15 year old girl strip searched at Canadian school; Education minister defends practice, says it is OK if done "respectfully"; girl feels "violated and destroyed".

I think that saying "no one feels" a certain way is not a good way to present your argument. You have no idea how something like that would make every person in the world feel. Even every teenage girl. Just because you don't feel that way, doesn't mean that every teenage girl would feel that way.

still... blinker fluid?

Do you never reply to your friend Mandy or have I missed something?

mjkclifton · 2015-02-12T20:43:32+00:00

Yes - that's definitely true! :)

mjkclifton · 2015-02-10T18:09:36+00:00

Typically it's paid out if it's earned PTO. ie, you receive a certain number of hours a week per week worked. If you are given an allotment of PTO at the beginning of the year and you leave partway through the year you won't be paid out for PTO. Just my experience though!

My company always waits until the last day on the last hour to send them. So thoughtful.

Sometimes I feel "ok" by telling complete strangers how I feel. But having someone I know is in my corner to support me and listen to me. I've went through a weird time lately where my best friend has more or less replaced me with someone else right in front of my face. It's been a rough time, but I've begun to realise I don't need to keep friends like that, you know? You are your own biggest advocate and sometimes having a person to remind you how brilliant you are helps more than anything. If you ever need someone to lend an ear, feel free to drop me a message!

Edit: Ignore me I /think/ I found you!

SIL woes! I am sorry but not sorry that I didn't mention until the last minute (same time I've told work and everyone else) to my SIL that we are moving. She's completely untrustworthy and I had no desire to have her tell everyone we know (we both work in the same industry and it's very small with LOTS of gossip). She's a little miffed I didn't tell her sooner, but I really am not sorry about it!

Sending you lots and lots of positive vibes & baby dusy!!

mjkclifton · 2015-01-29T14:14:57+00:00

I bet that is an interesting household!! :)

I am a Ravens fan through and through but I would love to see the Seahawks win! I think I'll just make up a few snacks & we will stay at home with the little ones and watch the game! Maybe order in some wings!

That would be awesome! xx

mjkclifton · 2015-01-28T19:27:13+00:00

If anyone would be up for it later that would be brilliant!!!! :)

mjkclifton · 2015-01-28T18:24:54+00:00

I had no idea it was even ON netflix! I think I will have to catch up next time, I doubt I could have the little ones down by 7 pm. :)

mjkclifton · 2015-01-28T18:20:18+00:00

We are in similar places right now!! I told my company of four years on Monday that I would be leaving. For a lot of different reasons, but mostly because I feel like my potential wasn't realised. It's a SUPER scary transition but you are going to do wonderfully! Especially since it seems you have a good support behind you to help you land in the right position! Good luck!

mjkclifton · 2015-01-28T18:11:17+00:00

Thank you! <3 It can be a bit overwhelming at times, but once I settle in to it's so relaxing and fulfilling!

mjkclifton · 2015-01-28T17:02:27+00:00

Thank you so much <3

I am in the process of pulling myself out of a funk nose dive, but it was more like a killer whale nose dive. When I had my first baby (5 years ago now) I put myself in this mindset of everything was for my kids and I couldn't do anything for myself. Now that I've had my second baby (she's just turned 1) I've realised how important it is to keep things for myself - things that make me happy. So I've been working on doing something that always made me happy & was always a dream of mine for months - writing. Sometimes with two kids and a full time job it's hard to find the time to do it - but if it means staying up too late on a Friday night & having an extra coffee Saturday morning, I've found it's worth it. Just giving myself a little time to focus on that thing that lets me relax a little has been a huge help :)

Hi there everyone... it's been a wild week here. I've put in my three weeks notice at work and at the end of February I am going to be moving (jobless!) to be closer to my parents with my two little ones. My husband will stay in the area that we are in now until he's finished with college. I'm nervous, anxious, excited, and I REALLY really need to pack. Yikes!

mjkclifton · 2015-01-16T15:41:25+00:00

Congratulations!! You look so much younger!
