They're still here. They're multiplying. Oh noes.

Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[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.
Negotiation ~ma, brenda!
So the U. where I will be working next year finally called with the formal offer -- yay! When they asked me to confirm my start date, I asked them to confirm the moving allowance because it matters if I'm packing or someone will be packing for me -- then I heard papers rustle and she says, "let me get back to you on that." ::headdesk::
Now I need please don't let me have fucked it all up 'ma.
Got a job offer. Probably taking it. Money is good. Called back and left a message asking for more because I've wanted to kick myself for not doing that on the last two jobs. Whether they go for it or not won't actually affect my decision, but I'm so nervous about screwing this all up.
So also some call me back right away 'ma would be good, I guess.
And negotiation~ma, Brenda! I was thinking it but I think I forgot to type it. [It'll be great and more money~ma? It's yours!]
"let me get back to you on that."Seriously? Grrrrr.
I don't think I have done laundry since my mom was last here. Which was???? I hope not that long ago, frankly. I mean I knew I was way into the crappy undies and bras but a few things might have gone a rewear or two more than I would generally prefer.
Puppycat is prancing around all Queen of the Roost. Of course, when I get home and bring Kittenish home from the cattery, she'll hiss for three days. And just when she's resigned herself to the natural order? Back to the cattery for K and back to California for me. Then? Another damn three days of hissing. After which I hope she gets over it.
Wow - photos! Whoever is in XXXmas IMG0043 looks really familiar. And the house is beautiful.
Job-related~ma to brenda and Suzi and Sparky.
Hugs to everyone, because.
aDORaboo babies.
I've found the place I want to buy in the DC area. Unfortunately I don't know how either of us will get to work from there: [link]
Lots of negotiation-ma to brenda.
Raq, did you mean img_0430? That would be our very own SonusExMachina.
Not that you necessarily know him, or have seen him before. Maybe he just looks like someone you know.
brenda, oodles of negotiation~ma to you!
Joe, all the best on your spec script.
Suzi, all the best on your search for a new job.
Nice house, Raq.
Okay, Verizon is making me realize why we should have a silent relationship. Can't get my backup to work. Fine. Decided I should finally update my address. Yeah, they're not making that too easy either. Fuck 'em, I'll stay in San Diego for all they know.
eta: Huh. Swear at the website and magically find the place to change my address. I only thought about it when the dweeb on "tech support", and I use that term very loosely, asked me about the weather in San Diego.
img_416 is my favorite ever.
ETA: Meep! Negotiation-ma, Brenda!
