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.

What is even happening?

I was with you on that bit, Frank.

If she's really nice, I'm voting that she's out-of-the-loopy, and probably that she's been kept out of the loop, for plausible deniability, in just such a situation.

It wouldn't surprise me if that's it.

Wishing nasty skin rashes on them all.

Always Anti-fascist!

I'm thirty-two. Detective Munch turned 66 this year. I think I should pace myself a little bit.

Herding cats for fun

Well, I figure that Hec will eventually get to find out just exactly how evil his workplace actually is. Sorry, dude.

Hope vw & JenP will be able to attend the F2F, so that the group may shower them with healing affection. And pirate gear. Arrr.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I was just idly wondering if Hec's source was trying to get him to do something stupid/burn some bridges for either personal gain or just plain maliciousness.

Pffft. Hec's source is the person who once gave him a taxidermied mouse Hamlet as a totally out-of-the-blue Happy Thursday! present. She's malice-free.

Our wings are not tired.

Could be out of the loopy, could be delayed for a month longer than anticipated. Either way getting out is required for any hope of sanity.

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

Is it possible that they are trying to keep you on for a few more months while the new guy learns the job?

Could be. I did point out to them that the recruiting assistant was going to be on her honeymoon for most of April and we'd be especially short-handed.

What is the timeline you got from your source?

End of the month. Month not specified. March or April. But I was pretty sure it was March since (a) they had me calculate my vacation balance through March, (b) end of the month lands on end of the paycycle which is convenient from an HR perspective; (c) we're moving to a new floor in a couple weeks and why bother moving me to cut me loose?

I don't know what the fuck's happening now.

This would be my guess. I'm so sorry this is dragging out, David.

Mostly lurking...

Oh, Hec, that totally sucks.

I just dropped my classes. I know, I know. I decided to do this like two weeks ago, but I've been putting it off. I'm all sad.
