asking all the men, "Are you gonna get beautiful?" and when they were done, he'd say, "Oh, you're all beautiful, now.

awww! so cute!!

So, I still had next-to-no voice today. People at work were like "Have a good weekend, huh?" One suggested "Gosh, you should spend the next couple weeks resting at home with some tea--I'll take those tickets you've got...."

Sprint charged me $50 to transfer my number

Whaaaat? That seems excessive and crazy.

the only aptitude check he didn't pass was "Does he respond to his name?

They're supposed to do that at 2 months old?!?

Yay Betsy for the new job!!

I'd be careful to use qualifiers every time you reference the lack of a contract. (You believe you have no obligation to pay me; you claim we have no binding contract, etc

This is what I would say too, Fay--don't say "you aren't required to pay me", say "You THINK you aren't required to pay me". Don't give away anything!!

Nor do you have any legal obligation to pay the money for the initial two months of my work for The Evil School, which was held back on the understanding that it would be paid at the end of the contract. Nor do you have any legal obligation to pay for the return ticket.

THese two lines are what I'm talking about!! Dont' tell him he's not required to, or he'll believe he's right!

(Or, what everyone else said already)

(Ooh, I like Brenda's version of the letter)

"you did the best you could under the circumstances" isn't exactly a glowing endorsement.

Meh. Sounds like they like and respect you, and know you don't choose the priorities.

Also, after all the hotties this weekend, I'm feeling all obsessed with a few of them. They're SO HOT. I mean...come ON. Sadly, one lives in Toronto, and one in Minnesota. And some in Austin, and one in Portland, and and and...:)

I think it was sort of a tacky thing to say, Betsy. When someone is leaving, all polite people say is, "We'll miss you" or "I hope this is a good decision for you." I don't think you need to add it to the list of things that keep you up at night.

Betsy and Jilli - after many broken promises and now that you have vowed never to ask me to buy anything for you again, I have really, hoestly sent the oils Priority Mail. They should be there Wednesday. I apologize for being such a suckass procrastinator.

And, in other cool stuff, neighbor just sent out a "I've got bookcases and I'm moving, who wants 'em?" So I just got a 7' bookshelf for free--he even helped me move it from his apartment (two floors above me) to mine!

Okay, think I've gotta head home for the night.

When I get there I HAVE TO work on my homework.

So, if anybody sees me in here after about 6:30 tonight, please ask me in a very stern voice whether I've finished Project 5 yet.

Ta ever so.

At this point, if he knocks he's likely to get shot in the head.

Fay, may I make the bold suggestion that you above delete post #754 so as to precluse any "threats of violence in a public forum" accusations should somehow (as unlikely as it may be) siad comment gets stumbled upon?

Only a suggestion, but I thought I would mention it.

To be fair, she was talking about shooting Mr. Calm, not Evil Boss. I think it's okay to threaten anthropomorphic emotions.

we know each other, although not well. you're gorgeous with blue eyes and a radiant smile. you're astoundingly intelligent, and crazily busy. you're self-assured and very coy.

after the drag show and apex, i wanted to keep you up all night.

Isn't it tempting to believe this craigslist posting is about me? Heh. I posted another post asking what the mystery woman was wearing (I had my corset on. It was kind of...obvious).

Ugh.

I don't feel so good. Since Friday I've felt vaguely as if I were coming down with a cold, and since the wedding ended Saturday I've been constantly tired and intermittently completely exhausted. As in, "must go lie down NOW before I collapse on the spot." Every other time I've felt like this I've either had mono or been pregnant. You're not supposed to get the former twice, and I know I'm not the latter (really, I know-- I'm feeling especially close to the earth today, and taking ibuprofen every four hours for it). So do I just have some mild virus exacerbated by long hours last weekend and by the fact I've had a hard time getting a full night's sleep lately (sick kid, etc.)? Or should I be worried?

Now that Kara's all completely potty trained, she thinks of panties as a fashion accessory and has been changing them 3 or more times a day. I told her to stop it, so now when she wants to change she "loses" the previous pair. I gathered teeny panties from all over the house.

Bwah! Go Kara on the potty training!

No advice Fay but lots of ~ma to you.

Much job~ma, vw!
