I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

B) as far as I know, I still don't actually work here.

What's up with THIS? You're getting paid, right?

I hope so.

I signed a contract for a three-month internship. That time ran out two weeks ago. I have been told they're keeping me, but they haven't figured out in what capacity and in what department.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Polter-Cow, do not stop nagging your bosses or HR or whoever you can get hold of to nag that you need to have your employment situation sorted out. At the very least, they need to commit to how they are paying you for the work you've already done while not under contract, but thta would only be a stop-gap. It's just as easy for themto just keep shoving work your way and never fix the glitch, not even maliciously, just because they will naturally start to assume that someone else will have taken care of it and everything is okay. Be the squeaky wheel, get the grease you are due!

I seem to be under consideration for an underwriting position. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Meanwhile, a cat is purring on my lap, so that's good.

Application~ma, sj. This would be a transfer for the fall?

move out and draw fire

Man, that's one of the things I like the most about no longer being a junior employee. They don't pay me, I don't work.

Of course, I just went from senior contractor to fully independent contractor, so the pay-work thing is prostitutionally cut and dried.

I'd like to promise you that the work world gets better, P-C, but that would be a lie...how 'bout a hug and making out?

On a different topic, how can I get rid of gnarly toe calluses? I've never had a pedicure; is that part of the service or do they just do your nails? I've tried foot scrubs, pumice stones, clippers, lotion. I'm thinking about trying the microplane grater.

On a different different topic, I had mussels for dinner. About half of them didn't open. Closed mussels look a lot like cockroaches.

ETA: Ooo! And application-ma, sj!

Nora! Congratulations on the new job and the giving notice!!

Yeah, I just don't want to be too...abrasive. I'm a pushover-y kind of person.

Hell yeah!

I hear a drill works wonders.
