Aims, just say "I've really enjoyed working here, and I feel that we have a good relationship, so I can talk to you about this. I've been offered a job that includes benefits, which my family needs. I'm sorry to leave you in the lurch, but I have to go with the job that offers benefits included in the salary" Make it about the benefits, not him.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[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.

Aw, I'm sorry Daisy Jane.
Also, Aimee, I hope my pep talks come across as... well, pep talks and not me being obnoxious and overbearing. Stupid Mondays, messing with my subtle tone techniques!
Vortex! How was your move this weekend?

I didn't actually move. the saga continues, and I still haven't closed. Maybe tomorrow. I've gotten very zen about it at this point. Except yesterday morning when I woke up stared at my old celing and thought "I'm not supposed to be here". Luckily, my current landlord was cool about me extending.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Egad, Vortex.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Nora, you are, as always, supportive and wonderful and even if you were to post, 'Stupid bitch, take the job and shut the fuck up." I would still read it with the hug implied.
And thank you Vortex, that helps so much to have a somewhat script.
And thanks to All of my Bitches for being so, well, Bitch-like. {{{LOVE}}}

As if. Hey, if we were at Teppy's brother's bar, I could order you a tall glass of "Shut the Hell Up" [link] and then give you a hug in person. Hm. let's do that!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Argh. A good friend of mine has her thesis defense today. Last week, she asked if I was going to come. I said, "If you want me there, I'll be there." (For this kind of thing, some people like all the moral support they can get, while other get more nervous if there are more people, so we generally go with the "I'll be there if you want me there" thing.) She told me to be there.
I just overslept. I am a horrible friend.

Good luck today, Aimee.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I had a dream last night that I got to hold Matilda. Only in my dream, she was the same size as Dylan, just with more hair. And looked nothing at all like Matilda does in real life.
Awww. She's probably not much bigger than Dylan. She's wearing supercute socks this morning that look like Mary Janes. Also she only woke up once last night.

Aimee, if being a better person, more people would do it ... and the world would be better for it.
In other news - literally - Fox News seems to have hit a new low. The Southern Poverty Law Center (huh?) reports and debunks it.
