Spike's Bitches 23: We've mastered the power of positive giving up.
[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.
{{Aimee}}, {{vw}} Yuck. Money problems are of the suck. I send you find-money~ma and get-off-my-back~ma.
{{-t}} Glad you found a place so quickly! Your landlord needs a severe smiting. Smite, smite, smite!
Other than that, I got nuthin'. Well, got a hangover, but I don't think it's anything all y'all would want me to share with you.
Well the nice company hasn't hired me. But they did give me e-mail today. This is good, right?
I have no milk and I don't want to drive to the market to get some. I am trying to remind myself that I really will want coffee in the morning and that requires milk (for me) so I should throw a pair of jeans on and go get milk. And maybe something for dinner while I am at the store...

What. Sail. Said. (Though I am keeping a little of that for myself. Just to make it stronger you know...)
{{Cass}} Tell them to keep the e-mail, you'll take more money and/or a permanent position. Phthtpththpbt, on them.
Aimee, I once had something similar happen, panicked, had a friend talk to them.... and they did nothing. Were never going to do anything. Were just trying to scare. So, were I you, and after you have things emotionally under control, I would tell them (either by telephone or letter) that you've clearly demonstrated willingness to pay, that you do not want to file bankruptcy in order to avoid paying; that you have no money to pay the lump sum they demand, that they lied to you in order to get the lump sum and that you're aware of that, so they'd better just deal. Most likely, they'll shut up.
t-, that sounds like the perfect home. I hope you get to move in soon.
vw, I'm sorry honey. You're job hunting, though. You'll find something perfect for you very soon. It'll be okay.
{{{Cass}}} what Sail said. Damnit.
I'm cranky. Aidan has hit the terrible twos with a vengeance, completely surpassing Kara's ability to destroy things. She's incensed and working valiantly to prove she's still the queen of destruction. My house is dirtier than it's ever been and I'm ready to scream. Gah. Whose great idea was it to have two more kids before I turned 40? I'ma shoot the idiot.
The Spikelet can outdestruct RaptorGirl?
t hides in terror
I am sending calm~ma to you and the kids Deena. That sounds just hair-pulling frustrating.

t hides Greg too
Tell them to keep the e-mail, you'll take more money and/or a permanent position.
I kinda want all three. Though with the temping, I am making decent money. I just want it to be a bit more permanent now.
Getting the email acct at the company set up today *is* a good sign that they really do want me, I think. They are just less than prompt at getting in touch with my agent-y woman and signing a contract saying "We wants us some Cass."
Gronky now. It might be a very early night for me tonight. At least I hope so. Nothing says rockin' Friday night like crawling into bed early with no alarm set...
Poking in to say...
Congratulations DebetEsse!
I love that so many Buffistas are teacherly.
Hee! Greg says it was my idea. I swear it was his. Really, he wanted a baby girl SO bad, and I said that that meant I get a baby boy. Sheesh. Talk about cutting off nose to spite face.
I'm glad there are good signs, Cass. Companies are often slow. Hang in there.
and David reminds me, go Debet! That's great news.
Okay, I have to go make Greg's lunch for tomorrow and do a few things before I can go to bed, so I'd better get busy. Night Bitches!

Bitch. You said what I was going to say.
Are any SFer's around? I was going to head to SF to see Beth and JZ on Sunday, but forgot about the Bay to Breakers. If I take the train up around 11:00, would it be insane? Should I drive up instead and park closer to the haight?
driving is probbably crazier with all the road closers. the only time public transportation is crazy is when people are trying to leave the park and get home. and even then it isn't that bad.
