You can still win. Remind of how fast hair grows and that the Gypsy Kings made five albums.

[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.

JZ, at this point I think your plan is sound (plus a bonus visit to see the LAistas - F2F YAY!)

Y'all Golden State folks and having your f2fs... huh. Maybe I should start freetheliberal.com too.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Wally Report! You know you want it. ...Actually, that would make a great Wally Report. Um. But anyway, latest doings. Yesterday a woman in my office left to take up a new position elsewhere. I asked her out for something to eat sometime. Didn't get quite the enthusiastic response I was looking for, but she said yes, and I'm feeling good about having asked her.
Actuarial student has sent me an email every day this week. (Of course, I've been keeping up the same pace.) I shall take this as a Good Sign. However, I must regretfully conclude that she really is tone deaf when it comes to flirting; my attempts - which I thought were reasonably charming, myself - have been treated as misunderstandings. Me, misunderstand! Can you believe it?
Anyway, I have decided on a slightly different tack. We'll see how that goes.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
...so I've got an official email re the situation with the new school. Their explanation of the whole electric cable thing convinced me, actually. My options now are:
To spend the year doing preparatory work for the school's 2006 opening, under the direction of the school's Principal. The salary and benefits would be the same for 2005-2006 as if I were teaching.
Alternatively, they can offer to pay me three monthly installments of the starting annual salary under my contract to agree to rescind the entire contract, or to rescind only the first year of the contract. The choice would be mine. This payment represents 50% more than the amount the contract requires.
They're being pretty decent, as far as I can see. I guess I'm going to go back to Egypt and take the non-teaching job, then. Probably. Need to think this through, because I'm loath to lose a year's classroom time. But on the other hand I've got a flat full of stuff and a lonely and puzzled cat and my life in Cairo.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Congrats, Allyson!

Ugh. I'm sorry, Fay.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Susan, my friend is emailing you for resume services! She's cool. Help her.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Hola Bitches! I just got back from an hour-and-a-half walk with Stephanie and wee baby Ellie, who is adorable and cute and was very well-behaved our entire walk. We strolled around Lake Of The Isles and discussed many fun things. Stephanie is lovely and quite intelligent, and I do believe I managed to convince her that I'm not an axe murderer. It was a lovely time.

Anyone want to come over and rub my temples with fragrant oils and feed me slices of ripened white nectarines?
I would! Um, if I'd been in Cali, and not NC.
Instead he tells me that they're not opening in September after all. That they're delaying opening by 12 months
Holy shit, Fay! Well, I'm super glad I went to see you when I did, then?
And Flatmate was already busily making plans for taking a trip out into the White Desert in November, with "the boys" (our neighbour C, and our friend/now his boyfriend K)
Aww, man, I wanna go on that trip, dude! That would be so much fun!!
I'm very bad about picking up accents from those around me. In the tiny videoclip I have of Fay, I'm saying something to her, and I was really shocked how (faux)British I sounded.
Plus, they didn't even let me get to the door. He knocked, then they just walked in
Good god. That and the walking into Emily's room while she was sleeping would FREAK me right out.

AWW! Love the pic of Mal and Daddy!
I guess I'm going to go back to Egypt and take the non-teaching job, then. Probably
Would it be possible to get a year long job in England, to shore up your credentials/skills? Or would that be too much of a hassle?
