You're right about entitlement being such a crippling mindset.
And I despise Pete. And ache for Lane. He's on that spiral down-down-down.

Hi Mrs. Hall.
I'm seriously considering a career as a psychiatric nurse and I would be most interested in hearing more about your work in that area.
I am not a nurse. (I'm a lawyer.) In my jurisdiction I can obtain a B.Sc.Psychiatric Nursing (as opposed to a B.Sc.N.) and then become a R.P.N. (Registered Psychiatric Nurse).
I would love to hear what you think it takes to be a good, satisfied psychiatric nurse.
Thanks!
K.D.

Awesome LOL photo (the beige dog) and way to stand up for yourself. I should really try that more with my three-year-old. I wonder how he'd take it...

Yeah, the new blogger is making me nutty, too.

It's a hard, hard thing dealing with people who have bad, bad habits. And it's hard to not like your job.
I do, however, like how much you love your husband.

OMG You're Mrs. Hall!? I'm putting all the pieces together right now!

I am so excited you blog about mad men.I am totally joining these discussions. I'm a Mad Men addict!!!

I agree! Megan is a great wife! Joan's whole situation makes me sad.
Pete is a big old jerk.

Oh, what happened with Sally and the knife. They left the episode a week ago and never covered what became of that whole thing in this episode. I'm confused!

It is weird to see January Jones fat...She is a miserable person.

Congratulations to your and your little bean!

2012-04-15T08:11:01.339-05:00

Lotus: it's so sad but I agree with you about Megan. THe young ones often tired of older stick in the muds. There's only so much of a mentor one can take in a man.

and the Henry Better deal is about the kids. Pancake is a few years younger then their girl. It's a delicate age when childhood is still very much present but a young woman is bound and determined to rise from underneath. It's a scary process to watch and be part of. I actually like the grandma though. Straight shooter and has expectations of the girl. Plus, ya know, dispenser of senocol!! hee hee.

I'm tired of Roger. This mirrors my own life with mentors. If someone is bound and determined to live a life of debauchary, it can be novel and funny at first. But if they lack depth, it gets old fast. Doesn't mean I don't have affection for the man but the silver fox has worn out his development.

The Jewish guy is a lot like Pete I think. Talented and raw with little social judgement. But, he has a moral compass. Should go far that guy.

2012-04-10T15:55:57.546-05:00

I cheated a bit and read the synopsis prior to watching the episode, so I knew what was coming. That said, this is still character and story-line building at this point. The only thing that really 'happened' in this episode was that Joan dumped her husband. Which was inevitable. At least he left on his terms and wasn't forced out by Joan.

Joan is going to be the 'alpha' in any relationship and Greg just wasn't going to put up with that. That is why he went back to Nam, because there he was large and in charge. Funny note: the accordion at the dinner scene was hilarious in my view.

I don't see Don cheating on Meghan in the near future. He has gone to the edge to many times and almost fallen off. He will stick this out for a while, possibly permanently. But don't be too sure about Meghan, she might wander later on. Remember, she is much younger than Don.

Pete Campbell, has a lot to prove to himself and others, so he is going hells bells to work that Agency, no doubt a major blow-up between Pete and Roger will occur sooner or later, where the firm will have to side with Pete, for financial reasons if nothing else.

Peggy continues to grow, but I don't know toward what? Becoming one of the guys, finding true love and companionship, success? Hard to tell what she will become.

The new Jewish guy is going to be a big plot development. He is obviously very talented, as seen in the Panty Hose presentation, but he has some dark demons in his past that are going to drive him and consume him in the later half of the 60s. He will be a character to watch.

Really no Harry Crane, Roger Sterling or Lane Pryce in this episode.

I am on the fence about Joan and Roger. Something will have to come out of that, but I am not sure what. I can't see here keeping the baby and not have him find out that it is his. Since Roger is unhappy with his 'tart' wife, he is bound to test the waters when Joan comes back, especially when he learns that she has left her husband. I mean, come on, this is Roger Sterling.

With regard to the Francis clan, I have a theory there. Regarding Henry and Betty, the focus is going to be on the children, specifically the daughter as she matures. She already shows it with her phone call to Don in the show. And while it is still early, I sense a bond between the step grandmother and Sally. She is cruel and cremudgenly in this episode, but she also confides in Sally as though she were an adult, which few people in Sally's life have ever done. I am expecting most of Betty's role in the near future will have to deal understanding and connecting with Sally, and not so much interacting with Don. That is going to be interesting.

...and that is all I have to say about that.
