Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.  

[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.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

They find you as fabulous as we do?

*blush* but YES! I "Exceed Expactations" and had lots of glowing things written about me.

"Suzi is a value to the client. The program would be lost without her knowledge and understanding" and "It was nice to see Suzi release some of her workload to others in an attempt to the get the priority things done. This is the first step to becoming a leader."

They also want to change me from hourly to salaried at the end of the year, with a nice bump in $. There are some issues with that, but the $ would be nice.

Always Anti-fascist!

In random news, I hate my bangs even though they are in the three seconds every month where they aren't actually too long, but they just hang there...kind of annoying. Might need new product. Of course, pulling them is my tell for "How boring," so it may be my fault.

I'm getting the pig!

No problem. Any other day and my squick-o-meter might've been pinged by what I typed, also. Today, however, my co-workers are obsessed with talking about Every. Single. Scene. in Sin City. In great detail. I believe my squick-o-meter needs some adjustment now.

Of course you exceed expectations! Woo hoo!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Of course you exceed expectations! Woo hoo!

But what if people expect her to exceed expectations?

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Oooh. More money AND appreciation. That would be good.

Exactly. That is what I keep saying.

Though, this year has been the year from hell and I have had to do thing I never would have expected, so how can I exceed what never was expected?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Congratulations, MG!

When I asked about my not stellar last evaluation, they indeed told me that they'd raised their expectations. Damn them. Of course, I may have lowered mine.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

My cats' are Rocky and Freya.

My cats' nicknames are Rocky and Freya.

Freya was named by a friend who hadn't yet met me, for those who might wonder.

And in case anyone's interested, I'm getting my hair cut this afternoon. It's the same cut as before, but it was growing out nicely, so I let it go for over two months. Then, on Tuesday evening, it all of a sudden looked like crap. Hence, emergency hair appointment. Hmmmpf.

If I only had a brain...

Deena, basically, the answer is that it's not at all clear *why* this is happening, but it's nothing that needs medical intervention. My retinas are just fine. I don't have cataracts. I don't have blind spots. Grid lines are straight and even.

That being the case, my vision is just all over the place. A prescription that worked this spring for reading glasses is now useless. My progressive prescription, which dates to July, is also next to useless. My astigmatism has changed so dramatically that I need a new pair of progressive glasses; that will be three new pairs I've needed so far this year, four if I also remake the readers.

And it's just one of those things, y'know?
