Hang in there, most esteemed Hecubus.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Oh, hell. Do you mean the one who's almost never in because she's out at the Palo Alto office or off lunching and dining and jetskiing with the fall associates while you're supposed to psychically intuit every detail of all the scheduling snafus she failed to mention to you before she left? That one?

There will be pictures as soon as Emily gets home. I suck at taking pictures of myself.

Oh, and did I mention it positively bounces? It bounces! It's so much fun!
