the second blog


note: gabrielle solis is now in chicago.
learning to sharpen one's claws is the solution.

mean giMean_girls_flickrls is not just a lindsay lohan feature. or a chick flick set in a high school wonderland. in my florence nightingale realm, they’re actually living, breathing creatures who constantly need reminding of how amazing they are in this universe. they reside in our work quarters when we’re the newbie still finding our stride or a grizzled veteran about to leave the door. one of the nicest people i know advised me to just ignore them. easier for her to say. she’s like a gwyneth paltrow sans the wet nurse. the mean girl doesn’t always dress like carrie bradshaw or regina george. in all appearances, she could be the loud griper with hair extensions from the fourth wall. or a pimply-faced 45-year-old who undulates from generous to cheapskate in a beat. or a 5-9 gabrielle solis with pre-school kids. there isn’t a way to avoid them ever in life. they exist everywhere. how can they not? but it’s definitely more relaxing when they’re not around.
