Yay, Aimee! I hope it all comes through for you in 60 days. I think it's a sound decision.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

[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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Now I just have to let other company know.
t insert irrational feelings of letting them down, too.
Wish there was a way I could do BOTH jobs.

But, he also knows that if he doesn't come through with the benefits and the cash in 60 days, I'll quit
Good, because I've seen too many bosses make great promises to keep people then forget all about it when the time came.

You and Joe could. :) Would they consider him?
SO glad you were able to get benefits at current place. Seems he has already figured out your worth. Smart fella!!

Plus, I'm thinking MM will get something soon, and then the book will sell and then y'all will be sipping champers and laughing about that time when you moved back in with your parents, and wasn't it all charming what, what?
DJ, my one piece of advice is that your friend contact a women's shelter and explain what is going on. The shelter may have resources to help her deal with this and not have to leave her house.
She's actually getting freeish counseling through the family violence center where she is, and she's been to law enforcement up there too.
Problem is, it's Texas, they're still married so he can do whatever the hell he wants (Well, not really, but it's pretty clear they want to make it as hard as possible-Texas law I mean, not the violence center or the cops-for a woman to get out of her relationship).

Aimee, that sounds like a good decision.

Heeeey, that's a pretty clever idea!

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?
Boss has promised to get us full benefits within 60 days.
Yay!! If you get bennies and you're happy at current job, then I think everything has worked out for the best. I am happy for you! And, Current Boss will get strung up by a bunch o' Bitches if he doesn't come through, so he better be good to his word. And, really, if he's not, you know it and you can bail.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
When I met with Other Job, I mentioned it. They seemed open to it.
And in letting them know, I told them if they wanted Joe's resume, I'd forward it to them.
