I had a technical issue I could not figure out. Normally I use Google to find either product documentation or people with similar issues.

For instance, a chain of department stores may have lower management (people managing different areas of the store), middle management to manage each store, then upper management to manage general policy for the stores to follow. The upper management need not be involved in making some of the decisions which affect individual stores (such as stock decisions, hiring etc) and instead delegate those decisions to middle management, the store owners, as those are not the sorts of decisions they n...

So, Sophie failed her hearing test in both ears three times now. She startles at loud sounds, so she's definitely hearing some things, but apparently not enough. Hopefully her ears are just clogged with vernix. We'll do another test a month from now. Of course I'll be obsessing about it until then.
