If I only had a brain...

Apparently we will get time-and-a-half after all.

Still hate it.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

yellowjackets?

As in "yellow jackets, eek!" or "what are these yellow jackets of which you speak?"

Good for you for not freaking out. I know I would have.

Oh, I freaked out on the inside (as my bp revealed), and let enough of my true feelings show through in the form of words I'd rather Annabel not pick up. Knowing my luck, her first reallyo trulyo unmistakable word used properly in context will be "fuck!" or "dammit!"

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Baptism By Fire" (which is a bit melodramatic), or -- oh! I know it's stealing from a comic book, but "Phoenix Rising"!!!

See, I tend towards something more understated, myself. Slightly soiled, for example, or Hiding the cracks, or Mixed blessings, or Undercurrents, or, oh, I don't know. Something a bit broken and less inspirational.

YMMV.

yellowjackets, eek.

yeah, the bp is not a great thing, but good you were able to keep it together in front of Annabelle. But try not to drop dead internalizing too much!

Mostly lurking...

or -- oh! I know it's stealing from a comic book, but "Phoenix Rising"!!!

I don't get the reference. Now I'm all sad and must go buy comic books.

Hiding the cracks,

I hope this was for me, 'cause I'm loving Hiding the cracks.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I agree with Fay.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Ouch, Betsy. FWIW, I made a lot more in overtime when I was eligible than I'm ever likely to make in bonuses. But it still kind of sucks, especially considering that you seem to have one of those "lives" I hear people talk about.

Apparently we will get time-and-a-half after all.

That's something. Some of the managers in my company don't like the exempt people working less than 60 hours a week, and there is no comp time or bonuses.

Generally I don't have to work extra, but there are usually a few 60 - 80 hour weeks with no extra pay.

Personally, I prefer hourly + time-and-a-half. I've always made more money that way.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I have a new haircut

Report!

Something a bit broken and less inspirational.

Saucy Wench, that's what I'd title a Fay chapbook. Probably not Saucy Wretch, though. Saucy Wrench. Sassy Wretch. So many possibilities. Sozzled Wonk.

Our team's manager is gone this weekend so I get to run the team and that means I get to assign the pitchers and positions! Bwahahaha.
