You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

[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.

How long has the position been open? Maybe they un-eliminated it.

They just posted the job today; I left on May 23. BUT -- even if they really did change their minds in the last three weeks, they have my phone number, you know? They could have called me and let me know they had an opening and asked if I wanted to reapply. Especially since when I was leaving, I said to give me a call if they had any openings at my level.

They had some issue with me. I wish they had just told me what it was.

(I left a message with them asking WTF. I figure they owe me an answer, at least.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Oh, Hooray Cashmere. Lucky baby-on-the-way to have such a terrific family to be born into!

it's likely this new position offers less benefits or pays less.

No. I was in the posted salary range -- I had taken a pay cut to work there. I probably would have asked for a raise at my one-year review, but they could have said no, and I'm not sure how much difference it will really make to pay a recent grad $26K vs. paying me $29K anyhow. And I didn't really have any benefits, I was never on their health insurance and had only been eligible for the 401(k) (no employer matching) for three weeks.

Like I said, this is all just extremely fishy and depressing.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Congratulations, Cashmere, DH, and big brother Owen!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Hey, Polter, how goeth the job search?

It bloweth. I can't even find any damn jobs to apply for, let alone get hired.

Yippee for Soon to be Big Brother Owen!

Are Buffistas hiding their ugly babies?

I am convinced that if a Buffista had a baby that was ugly, said baby would be just hiding all the spectacular good looks for adult-hood, when baby would become so beautiful we would all die.

Perkins, aren't you on vacation?

ETA: Lyra, that just proves they're a bunch a creeps. I'm glad you're outta there! (But sorry you don't have work.)
