Hey now... I adore you both and have offered an open invitation to you both but Pamela is still the lowest maintenance of all. She already has a key, drives here, and likes her privacy.
I, frankly, don't really even need to be here. Except she brings me Mexican food, so of *course* I am going to be here.
But you are both on my list of preferred guests.
eta: for spelling, as usual.
Things Jilli Needs:
Yes, yes I do need all of those.
Anyone ever seen the Bowie video for "The Mask (A Mime)"? Oh my....
This is from his pre-Space Oddity days....
Skipping ahead because I have to whine. THEY FLOODED MY LIBRARY AGAIN. Sorry about the asscaps, but ^#$%^#*!
Fortunately, it was during the day this time, so we were able to save the books with only minor wetness, but I'm so sick of this. They did fix the pipes, but another agency upstairs persists in using a water cooling system for their computers that overflows and floods us.

Because water and computers mix
so
well. Sorry to hear they're messing you up.
This week I am scheduled for a four hour on call shift (I probably won't get called in), and I one hour store meeting on Saturday. Next week week I have just one hour on call shift, and that is it. Why do I have a job again? This sucks.

This is why they have that fun compressed gas system that saves the computers (though not so good for people as I recall) without water. [eta: Google wasn't helpful but its whatever TD Waterhouse uses in its Call Centers... Also why I know not to push big red buttons no matter how inviting.]
Why do I have a job again?
Employee discount? A few extra bucks? Really I got nothing. (sj)

Ok. For this, I will cede my claim to Lowest-Maintenance Houseguest.
THEY FLOODED MY LIBRARY AGAIN
Oy. No good.

Persactly. I had to give you my house keys and car before I abandoned you.
Um, I'm not winning for best host, like, ever.

Oh, that is the best part. The employee discount we got at the sister stores isn't supposed to go into effect for 90 days after your hire date. The gave them to the Christmas hires immediately because they wanted us to buy our Christmas gifts there, but after Christmas they took them away again. No one ever mentioned this to me when I was hired. As for the extra bucks, if I don't get my on call shifts I will be making $7.50 this week and nothing next week.
