[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?

Speaking of interviews, I need clothes advice.
I have no business formal clothes for interviewing in that fit right now. Can I get by with a nice pair of lightweight pants and a summery blouse? Do shoes matter? I've got a pair of off-white Skechers that go very nicely with the pants, but nothing dressier in summer colors. I'm thinking make-up and dressier jewelry will help bring the look into the professional realm.

Probably. If you're interviewing somewhere more corporate, you might want to add a jacket that matches the pants.
Do shoes matter?
Yes. I would say you need something nicer than skechers. You could find some good flats at Payless that would probably work.

Sounds good to me, I used to shop almost exclusively at Payless so I could have lots of flats in pretty colors. I got out of that habit when I started working where it was all concrete floors.

yes, but you should probably get a matching or coordinating jacket.

I'd get some inexpensive flats. Target or Payless would have something. or Nordstrom store brand (BP Shoes) are decent.
eta: clearly, chikat and I are sharing a brain.

Another story in the continuing saga of people who are asshats:
You may recall that my sister was hit by a car a couple of weeks ago. While her injuries were mostly bumps and bruises, her doctor told her to stay out of work for a week. She hit her head on the concrete and has had a headache ever since, so the doctor has ordered a cat scan. There's an ambulance bill.
My sister was crossing the street at a crosswalk with a walk light. The woman was making a turn when she hit her. Now my sister has to hire a lawyer to get this woman and/or her insurance company to pay for any of this. The woman's stance is that she did nothing wrong, because she had the green light. By definition, my sister had the green light too, and pedestrians have the right of way.

That's crazy, Ginger. Didn't the driver get a ticket? That seems totally indefensible to me.

Dude. She HIT SOMEBODY. The light could have been fucking fuschia, a person in your way trumps everything.
I mean, legally also, of course, but it's basic common sense that you look where the hell you are going and DON'T HIT PEOPLE WITH YOUR CAR.

Ginger, I think that woman is due for a smiting.
