We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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.

Compassionately intolerant

This is a good lesson. Don't agree to spec work without discussing fees first thing

I have made this mistake soooo many times. I'm so sorry for the travail. I hate it when you do honest work and then get screwed.

Ann, that's a ferret.

What is the "other" man or woman called?

Mistress if a woman, lover if a man. Also, the "other man" or "other woman" is acceptable.

Then there are the answers that would try to be funny but probably really wouldn't be.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Mistress! How the hell could I forget that??

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

DH was suggesting I sell my gronk on ebay. I decicded if putting it up on freecycle would get rid of it, that would suit me fine.

Do not give in on the money .

and in other money news, that is all about me, I am seeing vearious ways to possibly improve our finacial situation - with out using magic money. Slow, but if I could just get rid of the revovling credit, money life would be easier.

What is even happening?

Yeah. He just emailed me back. His counter offer took a minimal amount off of my quote--basically our initial meeting. I think he was just seeing how much he could get off the bill.

I suppose it isn't worth your zen or time to argue about it, but darn it, I'd want to add money for the time spent arguing about him paying a rate HIS ASSISTANT TOLD YOU WAS 'FINE'.

I'm not yelling at you. I'm yelling at him.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Yeah. I'm just glad that I didn't put more time in on it. I couuld have spent a lot more time fiddling with it and trying to get it right. But I was scoping it out, too. I wasn't going to take a job that would have required me to put in more than 15 hours a week.

He obviously thought he could just have someone walk in off the street and start producing for him, at whatever he wanted to pay them. *shrug*

I'm no worse off. It did prompt me to go out and replace our computer (DH is super happy I did that).

I hope he gets lumps in his mashed potatoes.

Totally off topic, Cashmere, but have you seen the season 2 episode of VM with the Sadie Hawkins dance, yet?

Cindy, Yup. I did. I was hard pressed whether I wanted to see Logan smack Gia or dance with Veronica. I like how it turned out. Also, knowing what I do about the ending, Woody checking out Logan's biceps squicked me big time.

I just hope asshead cuts me a check immediately. So I don't have to deal with him anymore.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Have you ever just turned your head and had your shoulder and neck muscles just seize up on you? If not - let me just say - OUCH. This is not cool.
