I've been getting the magazine for a year (and there's a few single-issue purchases also), and as much as I like getting mail and something to look through, your points about finding recipes (full text searching) strike home.
Vibing Hecward.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!
[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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
What I hate about it, is my boss NEVER gives the top mark. On ANYTHING. She says that would be like saying that there isn't any room for improvement and there is always room for improvement. Of course it begs the question, then why on earth should I try to improve on things I have a 2 on?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I never had a work review until I was 33. I liked things better lax.

Always Anti-fascist!
Hang in there, most esteemed Hecubus.

Herding cats for fun
Hunh. I've just realized that I missed the anniversary of being laid off from the good job with a pension. I still hate having to drive past that building every day, so I avert my eyes. At least this second replacement job is not as soul-crushing as the original rebound job, which I disliked for a number of reasons: poor pay, managers half my age who reprimanded me for things like rubbing my eyes (on an extra hot day, mind), no computer access. This one is only PT and no benefits, but at least they leave me alone a lot.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
KB, are you still on the Bay Area Buffistas mailing list? 'Cause this morning I sent out a notice about a couple of jobs (FT, bennies) opening up in my division. You may take one look at them, shudder, and back away, but who knows?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
His supervisor had bloody well better have something more constructive to offer than a load of criticism and an animatronic cat, dammit.
No, she's nice. It's the other boss.

Mostly lurking...
Awwww....Hec! Poor you. I hope the talk goes well. Stupid stressful job.
I think I quite possibly might have the best haircut I've ever gotten. That was an absolutely amazing experience. It started with a stress-reducer treatment (mini-massage). Then, the shampooing was a three-step process with a hot towel treatment. Then, when she was all done with my hair, she's like, "You need *just* a little color on your face." So, I got a little makeover too. It was so much fun and just what I needed. I was there for an hour and a half!

It is a day of celebration! How well I remember when bon bon came home with her Best Haircut Ever, and Rio's Triumphant Coif Return from New York City.
