[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.

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?
They fired him for "attendance reasons" because he stayed home to take care of Em and me for 3 days last week.
What the fuck?

All kinds of job~ma to Joe.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That is fucking ridiculous. Especially after what you said about his having a good history there. That makes no sense at all. You don't just FIRE someone for that.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Crap, crap, crap, Aimee and Joe. Much ~ma for finding a brilliant new job which is much better than that one.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
What everyone else said. Utter, steaming, heartless horseshit. (Also, insert standard rant about our culture's nauseating lip-service to the all-important family coupled with its willingness to cheerfully dick over anyone who actually makes his or her family a priority.)
Joe deserves so much better. You all do. His ex-employers are a bunch of fuckbuckets.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I can't believe these heartless jackass companies. GF's dad's company has apparently "laid off" employees in the past who were out on disability for a long-term illness soon after they returned to work. If her dad is able to return to work, he doesn't want to for fear they'd can him and he and GF's mom would be out the money they are currently receiving. The man has cancer, fuckwads. Why should he have to worry about this trivial bullshit?

Exactly this. (Also, I love "fuckbuckets" a lot.)
I'm so sorry, Aims. Please know that Drew and I are here if you two need anything.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Hey Hec, what's the law on having the final check when a company fires someone?

Three days. You have to have it within three days.
