I did! Shiny trees!
What? I'm not allowed to hit people? Wesley: Not people capable of genocide. Angel: Those are exactly the types of people I should be allowed to hit!

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Shiny Trees, YAY! (AKA the official winter holiday.)

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Ohhh. I found a job. Shiny, shiny job. Portland Concert Association's Great Performances. Development Assistant. It would give me a start with some grant writing, and I'd be working in an enviroment I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE.
Wants it, me does.

Apply, Lilty, apply. Nothing ventured, nothing... You know the drill.

All right. I'm filling in for the receptionist for the next hour, which means I need to be entertained, since I'm not doing any actual work. Dance, puppets, dance!

Does Muppet dance for Jessica.
It's really a shame none of you have seen this in person. It goes best to "Rhythm of the Night".

Now that's what I'm talkin' about.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Lilty, sometimes things don't work out, there's no shame in that.
And, this place hired you with little to no management experience, so why shouldn't someone else, now that you have a little more?
I had a similar job in the summer of 2001 (May-October). It was the highest level and pay I'd had, but I was sick, sick, and miserable there. I felt like I was there for 5 years, instead of 5 months. I took a job that was a killer pay reduction, but the effect it had on my soul was so positive. I mean, that job sucked, too, for other reasons, but I didn't ever dread going into work.
Where I am now, is the job after that, and I was nervous indicating that I was only at the evil job for 5 months, but no one really asked about it.
Yo uhave to do what you need to do for your mental health. I don't think it makes you a quitter, and I don't think others (i.e., hiring managers) will either.

Also, this job wants a writing sample. I don't have the foggiest idea the best kind of thing to send.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Lilty, for a development position I'd try to send a sample either of persuasive writing, whether business writing or something you did for a class, or nonfiction storytelling--the kind of stuff you'd see in a newsletter from a nonprofit you've donated to.
