Feel better, Deena!!
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Mostly lurking...
Definitely feel better, Deena. Mwah!
Nora, if you're around, I just sent you a semi-urgent e-mail to rainoftoads.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
and then Jon B. showed up, followed by JZ and Hec, and I introduced all 3 of them to my best friend as "those internet people."
JZ's not pregnant either. But I'm glad we were hanging around in the funhouse which is your brain.

Not me, Teppy!
Lilty, definitely apply. The new job is more in line with what you want to do long-term, right? So even if you were content where you were, you'd be better off in the new place.
And welcome, Bells!

Not me, I'm happy to say.
Last week you would've scared the crap out of me, though

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
I am not pregnant, yay! So if it was me, you can spill!
I'm so self-centered.
Lilty, glad that the Capt. is doing well. I have such fond feelings for him. He's like the Peanuts Christmas tree or something. but more of a drama queen.
Also, you don't have to tell your manager you are interviewing, unless she is actually your friend. You can get yourself into lots of trouble that way, i.e., they replace you when you haven't even gotten a job yet. I'm just saying, it seems like the culture there is very CYA, and there's no reason to trust the management. Don't lie or be misleading, but I advise holding your cards as close to your chest as possible.
I don't like these people on your behalf, and I'm suspicious!

Right on! I'm going to have to give some credit to the new haircut.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Heh. You're right, Nora. Jack is very Peanuts-esque. His frequent death-bowl antics have only endeared me to him more. The little shit.
I don't think I would let my boss know if I got an interview. I do actually consider her a friend, but she's got to be so close with the DM right now, it's entirely possible I could be replaced without getting the job. It means that I'd really hear it in the event I DID get the job, but it'd be worth a couple weeks of pain. Plus, if they really bring in the ringers it sounds like they are going to, they'd probably be ok (or maybe even relieved) when I left. They are holding onto me right now because they think I've got potential, and know that they have dropped the ball big time on my development. If I left, they could bring in some other high performance type.
And now, I've got to go to work, natch. I packed a bag in case it doesn't look like I can get home. See y'all later!
