Awwww Poor Phoebes!!

I've had one of those days where I couldn't achieve anything so now I'm just sore and my brain is mush with nothing to show for it.

William owns most of Season 1 - 4 of Friends - in the correct frame rate mind you. So Marie, William and I get together for 'best ofves' (?!) every so often. One memorable moment is the episode where Phoebe was getting things wrong and misunderstanding people. The others would sympathize with her naivete by saying "Poor Phoebes". When something unfortunate happened to one of the others, Phoebe also responded with "Poor Phoebes". She just thought that was what they said to each other. Very cute. So the three of us began using it with each other and it has leaked out. When a friend had a car accident last week, I used "Poor Phoebes" so much he has now named his car Phoebe. Because he was helping me paint just before the accident, I named my bench he was helping out with Phoebe in honor of his efforts and the poor car.

I have just been filling in an application form for a business course and have just reached the part where you need to create a questionaire for others to resond about how you are going to change the world with your brilliant idea. I had tried to apply for this course before but stumbled at this point. I wanted to use my design skills to assist older people with downsizing their furniture and creating specialist clothing. I visited rehabilitation facilities and nursing homes to see if I could ask staff, clients and their families about whether this idea was viable or not. Facility one was too busy too talk and could they call me next week (still waiting). Facility two told me they didn't have enough people for me to ask (only wanted ten people - and I could see more than that from where I was standing). Facility two sent me to facility three - a larger place with more people I could ask. When the liason person at facility three heard my idea and that I wanted to ask clients if I was able to provide a service for them - I WAS ESCORTED FROM THE PREMISES!!!

In trying to help some of the most vulnerable people in society I was kicked out of an elderly nursing home, hence the current block in my application form.

Poor Phoebes.
