JZ has today off (Cesar Chavez Day), and since my schedule is free we are going out to have breakfast. I shall eat my bacon in honor of shrift and cheer her escape velocity.
Excellent!
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

is today Take This Job And Shove It day for shrift?
Yes. I have written my letter of resignation. I just have to print it, sign it, and...
...figure out if I'm going to corner Big Boss and my immediate supervisor boss, or if I should just go with Big Boss.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
how are you doing this morning, Hec?
I'm okay. I'm looking at the money and we're not in bad shape. Combined with unemployment, what EM owes me (which she can repay me by covering Emmett's summer camp) and my book advance we can easily go six months or longer.
I'm going to take the time to work on the book, and do some other writing as well. It'd be a good time to try and make the writing career more of an actual pay-the-rent kind of career. Because honestly, I don't really want to go back to another job. I probably need a career change. I should at least find some form of employment where I care about the work. Doing the admin/HR work at a law firm? Not rewarding.
Hec, what reason did they give you for termination?
Tom, my performance was inconsistent.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Go shrift, go!! I'd talk to whoever seems easier first. The news will spread.
David, have a lovely day today and think about The Future later. Sounds like you're in a good position.
I've been saying since the Shuffle came out that it looks like a pregnancy test. The Nano less so -- too wide.
Now I want to go to a churrascaria again, but I'm afraid I don't have any friends left here who would be into Mass Quantities of meat!

It hardly seems like firing grounds. WTF?

Does anyone know if Jiasi is a female or male name. I'm guessing female, but I really don't want to go by my assumption.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Sue-
I had a student named Gyasi (which I think would be pronounced in a similar way) and he was male.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Does anyone know if Jiasi is a female or male name.
Using Google Image Search is a good trick. Most of the matches are male - the female ones seem to have Jiasi as a last name.

Hec, if I had those psionic powers that I rightly should have, there would be several heads exploding at your ex-firm right now.
Honestly, though? They're going to reap the wind because they'll be screwed without you to keep things running. Living well is really going to be your revenge.
