Natter 47: My Brilliance Is Wasted On You People  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Maybe I can make extra money by teaching a class on "what you can expect to make, and how much you'll have to bend over, after graduation."

"Hey, you! You with the Communications degree! You'll be getting 500 bucks a week to get lunch for David Greenwalt! This will afford you a bachelor apartment in the valley without a kitchen, and an '86 Honda."

I so wish you would do this. It would make my life easier.

IMO, cover letters should have a range you're looking for, not your salary history. I mean, aren't you looking for a bump up? Yes you are.

For me, I can tell if you're not in our range by your history, but if they give me a range, that's fine, too. I just need some kind of idea.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thank dog I had a recruiter. Because I was willing to work for less than I'd made in MI, and she, with her pay in mind, got me more.

Scared to try on my own.

My boss just used a euphemism for shit in a meeting, and I have no idea if anyone else noticed. Curse this phone technology. She's the metaphorical sort, and I wonder if anyone actually listens when get starts going on...but "that's the sort of thing that makes flowers grow tall and strong" cracked me up. Good thing I was listening.

I just hate all the negotiating and shit. I want the price sticker on the front of the package, car, job, house, whatever.

OK, I did not schedule a murderous rage for today. So why am I having one?

Ours is not to question why, ours is to suggest people for you to rage upon.

Please rage upon whatever's making my teeth hurt so badly. Also this fatigue.

This picture is so much cuter after hearing Fay talk about Thailand.

I'm about to get in my car to drive home in the rain. Plenty of opportunities to go batshit.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

So what are people doing this weekend?

Me: cleaning and lots of TV tonight, shopping with Sparky tomorrow with a possible side trip to a book store, spend Sunday trying to force myself to do a lot of housework.

I'm going to be working most of the weekend, but I will be taking time out to go here tomorrow night.

We're having dinner with friends tonight, I'm shopping with you tomorrow (and if I'm still in this cranky mood, I'll be spending lots of money), and Sunday I'll be cleaning and wandering around the Spice of Life Festival [link] since it is basically right outside my front door.
