Bloody well done, vw. Props to you, girl.

Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen
[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.

I have an interview tomorrow!" it cost me 40 sterling (ie about $30, I guess?). They did a very nice job. More than that would strike me as very expensive.
Hey Fay, I just wanted to point out to you that with current currency rates, your 40 quid is actually about $73. That should give you a lot more options when you're here.
Hopefully you can set something up in SF, if not we have a friend who is an amazing hairdresser here.

Whoops. And to think I teach Maths. Or Math. Or something. Cool, though - sounds like it's likely doable.

Yeah, by the estimates up-thread, I think you can get a good 'do with $70.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Bugger. It's 4 am here and I'm still awake. Not even particularly tired. This isn't normal for me.

Bummer, bt. Got a boring book you could use as a sleep inducer?
vw, I think Cindy has some valid points to consider. But, good on you for walking out. There are definitely times when actions speak louder than words. Enjoy your mimosas, you deserve them!
I'm almost out of my Trader Joe's coffee. I am bummed, since we don't have a Trader Joe here yet.

Like any situation, sometimes you have to walk out, or you'll erupt.
I want a mimosa. I also want something cheesy-hammy-eggy. I have neither. I'm biding my time 'til it's time start the spafriggingghetti which everyone will eat, although not what I'm in the mood for.

It's long and complicated, but has to do with a woman giving her testimony about how she was cured from "lesbianism."
Proud of you VW. Walking out is awesome. But don't just give up! Let them know that you were offended!
Glad Pete pointed out to Fay that 40 pounds is more like $70! Should be able to get a good haircut for that, I would think.
I am in San Antonio. I very nearly did not make it to San Antonio--I got to the airport about 40 minutes before my flight, and had to wait for the bus from the parking facility, etc, etc....and then walked in to find the place PACKED at 7AM on a Sunday! WTF?? But the woman directing people into line at the checkin counter, when I said "Oh, crap, I'm never going to make my flight", whisked me to the front and checked me in, then the people at the security line whisked me to the front, I booked it through the airport, and just made it. WHEW. Believe me, I shall be very careful to be on time to the airport for a while--I'm usually very good about it (unlike some of my colleagues) but I think i've used up all my luck now!
So here I am, and I'm thinking to go find some food (I've had a banana and a scone today) and maybe go see "Stick It". Heh.
Also, I have next-to-no voice today. Working here ought to be fun tomorrow....oh, and my computer is threatening revolt.

meara, d you mind all the travelling you do? Sometimes, I'm envious when I read about your trips, but other times, I read about them, and think I need to get my blanket and lie down on the couch for a while. I'm glad you caught a break at the airport.
