Spike's Bitches 31: We're Motivated Go-getters.
[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.
Well, thanks, Zmayhem. No sooner do I get home but you give me a good scare. See if I share any of my vacation pictures with YOU.
thinking: Baby, Stay-Put, Stay-Put, Stay-Put! very hard indeed. You just put 'er in park there for awhile, little missy.
Also sending big warm waves of ~ma to Famille de Calli. May all go gently for her.
As for me, I am scratched, scraped, sunburned, waterlogged, well-exercised and glad to be home again. Fortunately I didn't get a spider bite. Unfortunately I've chipped off the outer edge of a molar (on a tortilla chip. How lame is that?) and it's really bugging me with the weird rough feeling.
meara, you can call UPS and have them redeliver to a new address. I've done that before. If you call on Monday, they ought to be able to redeliver on Tuesday. Not exactly overnight delivery, but more convenient.
Toddson, it sounds like you are in a prime position to take advantage of a power vacuum. Now, sit down and write up a list of things that your ex-boss has done, and where he has stymied your job. Make a list of improvements and processes you would bring to the position and ask for twenty minutes of the president's time.
Lay out your claim for the territory. You have ideas,youhave the skills. Go for it. What are they going to do? make your job worse? Fire you for trying to make a better place to work? Maybe, but then you just bring up the same points for any unemployment adjudicator...or the next job interview.
As it is, the fact that your former boss is trying to still undermine you might work in your favor.
If necessary, gather up anyone who is willing to back you in this and have them help put the pitch together, or stand by you. Anyone that will show the president you aren't just backstabbing former boss.
Daniel says what I was thinking but didn't have time or brain capacitry to articulate.
I'm so glad to hear that JZ and the Halloweenie are doing better. I missed all the drama, because I was away from the computer all day, but that is so scary. Tons of ~ma to all of them
{{{Calli}}} Tons of ~ma and strength to you and your family.
I was coming in here to complain about car stuff, but it doesn't seem at all important right now.
but that is so scary.
A little scarier in retrospect. I don't think we quite realized this morning how close we were to getting a C-section and having a preemie in the NICU for the next three months.
But everything is pointing to a small abduction of the placenta that has already started to resolve (aka, reattach and heal, I guess).
So keep on with the StayPut-ma. She was so active the other day we're thinking maybe she kicked the placenta loose.

Your going to have a wild child on your hands, but not until she is full term. I insist upon it. Tons of stay-put~ma.
Bless you both, David. What an absolutely horrific way to spend a day.
And, Calli, I'm so very sorry. White light to all of you.
Gah. Many (gentle) hugs to both David and JZ. How very, very scary. And yeah, having an aftershock when it hits you what this could have meant makes a lot of sense.
I hope you both get some good sleep tonight.
