'The Message'

Spike's Bitches 29: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.

[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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Thanks, all.

I think JZ is more stressed about it than I am. I temped for 10 years. Knowing we've got enough money to pay the rent for three months in advance without a twitch still feels like a luxury.

Also the job market is fairly decent in SF right now. It'll sort out. I've been in worse situations.

Having a Book Contract does a lot to cushion the ego-blow too.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Ah heck, Hec. I'm sorry.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm sorry, Hec. Good luck on the job hunt.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

At least you have the presence of mind to sense it.

I've got a mole in the ministry of information. Though the fact that they've just hired a temp with my job title and a long list of similar credentials is a bit of a hint.

It means nothing, they assured me. Uh huh. They're being so skeezy about it, really.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Hec, I'm sorry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm going to get pushed before I have time to jump. Sucks, but there it is. I don't think I'll get anything happy in the severence either, except cashing out my 25 vacation days.

Blech, that's no fun. (But financially, isn't it better to be laid off than quit, if you've got time to prepare? At least this way you'll get some severence -- not much of a silver lining, but better than nothing.)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Goooooood job~ma, Hec.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

They're being so skeezy about it, really.

See, they're such assheads that you'll be much better off in a different place. However, things work out much more nicely if you get to leave on your terms, with a job already in hand, so you can say EAT IT, ASSHEADS, on your way out the door.

What is even happening?

Hec, I am so sorry. I hope it's a push into something you like better. That job's been stealing your joy. Will you be able to collect unemployment?
