Everything should be about our Cassiepants. Speaking of which, insent, Cass.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

[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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Susan, I know you feel awfully down in the dumps, and I can see why (because car troubles with no money SUCK), but you have your health and a beautiful healthy daughter and a loving husband and a home and lots of skills you can use to get an interesting job which will serve you as you finish your novel--and that's the last most important thing you have--your ambition and writing talent. On the big scales, your life has way more pros than cons--even right now during a particularly tough time.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I know you're right, Robin. I just wish I knew what to do WRT finding a job. Based on all my previous experience, I know the single most critical thing is that I avoid any position where I'll be micromanaged. I'm only happy at work if I'm minimally supervised--just give me a project or program and turn me loose. Don't tell me how to do everything or ask for updates every day or generally breathe down my neck. But I don't know how to tease that info out of job listings or interviews. I can't exactly tell a hiring manager, "If you want good work out of me, just leave me the fuck alone and let me get on with it. I'm smart enough to figure most things out on my own, and if I get stuck, I'm not too proud to ask for help."
What I'd really love to do is work from home, but I don't know where to find legit work-from-home opportunities.
Oh, and DH still hasn't called. It's been two hours.

Kwistin AND Robin are here too? It IS a party!

If I don't have a job in the next few days maybe I WILL put my mad fellatory skills to work, dammit.
Actually I am, seriously, considering bartender school. I have a project coming down the pike and (unless I can get the job with Firm C) a new full-time gig won't allow for the needed time off. Between unemployment and severance and the odd bartending gig I may try to get through the summer piecemeal.
Of course, I should be WORKING ON MATERIAL for said project. Instead I'm here with y'all. Aw hell, lyrics aren't good unless they're written in the wee hours anyway -- everyone knows that.

Just called DH. Tow truck is almost to the Mazda place. I'm about to wake up Princess Sleepyhead and go get him. He doesn't sound like King Gloom anymore.
(Huh. Looking at the nicknames above, I wonder if I'm watching too much PBS Kids stuff of late....)

TRUDES!!! The best material does spontaneously appear at 2 am, it is true. Would the schedule for bartending work for you?
Car-ma to you, Susan.
