I'll be dark until tomorrow night. Going to visit a friend on "the Vineyard." I'll report back with any Carly Simon sightings.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I will be dark gray for the next two days, and then black until a week from Saturday. I have a wedding to attend this Saturday, and then I will be in Cape Cod for a week without computer access.

Are you ready to be strong?
My dudes! I have a new job! I start tomorrow! The bad news is: It pays almost nothing. But who needs to eat, really?
P.S. DMH, why aren't you posting? You should post! No one here is scary, except for msbelle of course.

I'm dark grey already, same tomorrow, then off to the Sierra for 9 days to swim, read, hike, hang out, and look for shooting stars.

I can't even.
I'm around Friday morning, then dark until Sunday the 17th, as I am off to the Pennsic War. Wish me good clubbing!

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty
Going dark for slightly over a week-- until Sunday 17th or thereabouts, depending how long it takes me to catch up.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
My agency called and said that my references checked out and they'll let me know if I'm hired by TUESDAY.
Buffista Jobma would be much appreciated.
Some don't-die-ma would be good too.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I didn't get the job I had wanted. Over-qualified-but-you-have-a-great sense-of-humor-don't eva-change, it's not YOU it's US, we wanted an internal candidate, let's be friends, and hey, when we split up the CD collection, you can have all the Miles Davis, because you deserve it.
I'm stuck. It's hopeless.
They really should make these calls at the end of the day, because now all I can think about is going home, ordering some chinese, and crying into some noodles.

Another social casualty...
Hugs to Allyson. I'm sorry. I know what it's like to want a job you don't get.
But, I just got off the phone with my DH, and he got the job. We're moving back to Florida. We're going HOME!
