SuziQ - grrrr. that's truly suckish. It is also how we at [nonprofit] ended up with two (2!!) people in the same position at the same time (and it's not that big a desk). Still, it is really cool that a lot of people thought you would be good for the position - have you monstered the job description?

ETA: coffee situation fixed. And our favorite coffee place loaded me up with samples of new Zekes (checkit lisah!) flavors ... I have beans to grind. So it's safe, Sparky!

I hope the law is on my side here, but we'll see.

yeah. you can also threaten her and see if she'll cave. But, the thing that you need to think about before you go through any/all of this, is do you really want to live there? I'm all for principle, but it's a lot of effort.

I found out today that the job op from yesterday was never really open to anyone but the person they offered.

Oy veh!

Sox, your Auntie M has nixed the trip to B'more on Sunday because they have to get back to the old folks' home to help with something called the Spring Fling and are leaving my place after breakfast.

Did I say something about it not being busy at work? Ima liar!

Sparky - poop. I was looking forward to seeing them. What do you think they'll be flinging?

Goodness knows. I'm not sure senior citizens should fling anything. Then again, I'm not sure they're all that dangerous to the rest of us if they do start flinging.

Anyhoo, I'm wearning my new espadrilles today and that makes me happy.

Laura--how cool that my DH is emailing you!!! Which reminds me to mention that adding suvs.about.com to your favorites list and checking it daily is not only darn good readin', it's also putting food on my table, since DH gets paid bonus money according to the number of hits his site gets.

ICompletelyON: I'm trying to get a jumpstart on Halloween. I'm going to be Jessica Rabbit and Mr. Jane will be Eddie. So, I found this [link] , but I'm wondering if I couldn't make something similar if not better. I'd rather have that stretchy sequin covered stuff like this [link]

Thoughts? Can I pull it off? Do we think the sequin covered stuff will work as well as what's in the photo? Stupid idea in the first place?

I'm going to be Jessica Rabbit

....

I'm sorry, I think my brain just shorted out from the OMGHOTT of you being Jessica Rabbit.

::blush::

This is my inspiration. Not that I could hope to achieve Klum levels of HOTT, but I'm taking my cues from this picture [link]

Do we think the sequin covered stuff will work as well as what's in the photo? Stupid idea in the first place?

yes and no.
