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.
This was the second attempt to get her to handle grass. Paul had her by himself the first time, and when he shared her reaction to it with me, I laughed and laughed and laughed and declared her Just Like Mal.
So adorable.
I say we all run about naked sprinkling glitter
It is indeed a glorious and wonderful day! Happiest Birthday beth and Beej!
I need some ~ma today.
Much, much, much ~ma flung at you, sj. This is really a tough situation to be in and I think you have every right to be furious at the agent.
She got very sad and said, "So you're all alone?"
Kara is absolutely the darlingest!
Work Rant Ahead
Oh, Suzi... How frustrating. Shall we smite them?
Wallybee an' me
I am such the billytea'nWallybee shipper. Adorable!
they're having a major exhibition on the International Arts and Crafts Movement.
So. Freaking. Cool.
Since I do know it isn't all about me:
{{{Suzi}}} I am sorry about the work suckiness.
Mal is perfectly baby sized.
~ma and hugs to all else who need them.
The Arts and Crafts movement was in the Sopranos this week. Seriously.
I don't know much about it, tending to be troubled by my dad in full-on antique slinger mode.
Ack! I forgot to give comforting snuggles to Suzi for the evil work situation! Belated snuggles to you, m'dear.
Cass, how are you doing today? Any better?
Happy Beej-Day!
I have an interview on Thursday. The full time position I applied for on Monday, well, it is not so much open for another month or two. BUT if we decide I am the person to fill it, they will get me hours working at other locations, part-time slots here and there, until it is open. I was not expecting this: the preliminary interviewer indicated that the man who is in that position is just filling it temporarily till a permanent person be found - but the house manager I spoke with today, says he is permanent until he leaves on assignment with the Peace Corp.
I'm not thrilled with the mis-communication, but if this house is a place where I am meant to work, having a couple of months of not-full-time work will not be a bad thing. I truly am worn down - whether it is the adjustment to winter, the stress of the move, or the previous job draining me dry - a chance to rest up a bit would not be a bad thing. Still, I am going to put applications in at other agencies. As the full-time position is one working with individuals who are MR with mental illnesses, but physically healthy - the challenges of working with them are very different from what I have been dealing with the last few months. Finding the right chemistry between the individuals and the staff assisting them is even more important. In general, I can be optimistic that either this would be a good place for me to work, or that if not, it is no more serious than the chemistry not being right - and they may well be pleased to keep me in mind for another position elsewhere. So, knowing-the-right-thing~ma requested.
Happy Birthday Beej who is not Raq!\
She only owns the apartment we are moving into, so that is all she is trying to sell.
sj, the realtor was way the heck out of line, then. I'm so sorry. I hope you can find a way to stick them for your moving costs (in and out).
Hippo Birdies Beej!
This day needs to just give up and go away. At least for me.
Thanks for the smitings and snuggles (I know which were directed where). My K-Bug just called me, so I had a moment of sunshine. She is loving her independence. She spent the night at a study buddy's house, prepped for their AP test, and now she is driving over to another friend's house to hang out before coming home. DH has basically given over his truck for the week, which I'd rather have her driving than my mom's convertable Mustang.
Oh that would be fabulous, David, thanks!
Beej! Felicitations, dear, on the Anniversary of your Natal Day, and many, many happy returns to you! I'm so pleased the past year turned out well--may this one surpass it.
Sending I'ma smite you vibes to sj's underhanded landlord, and hire her if you know what's good for you vibes to Windsparrow's interviewers.
This day needs to just give up and go away. At least for me.
I would agree if tomorrow (and the day after) wasn't expected to be hellacious. But as long as it gets better for *you*, that's all that matters. You've had enough hellacious as it is.
Can I call K-Bug just to see if she answers her cell while she's driving? "Hello?" "Are you driving right now?" "Yes." "Then what are you doing answering your cell?!? That's dangerous! Both hands on the wheel NOW NOW NOW!"
Too mean?
Andi - All kinds of ~ma to you. Especially the kind that helps everything to work out for the best.
