Buffy ,'Chosen'
[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.
I've been to Plano, and I'm trying to never come back. I might be letting my bad work experiences taint it, but I'm kinda comfortable with that.
This is wise.
I'm a North of Mockingbird is Too North Dallas girl myself.
North Dallas is where the scary blondes with H2s live.
Anyway, happy birthday!
Thanks, babe.
I'm off to have dinner with the brother. Talk to you all later.
I've done about 12 loads of laundry, vaccuumed the whole house, mopped and polished the wood floors, organized the closets, cleaned the bathrooms, moved some bookshelves, deep-cleaned the kitchen, and even laundered and scrubbed down the car seat. I'm bushed.
Damn. I need you to come motivate ME. I dont' even have a Mal to take care of, and haven't done any of that.
Interview was very meh. Company is in a GREAT location, and is gearing up to hire more people. People seemed nice. But the job is a new one, and there was NO consensus on what it would be. Which worries me a LOT, because the range was everything from what I've already been doing only basically a step down, to a whole different job that I"m not all that interested in that would be several steps up except stripped of the important responsibility parts and title (making it completely useless), to somewhere in between. Bleah. It could be really awesome, or it could suck.
Also, they only have 10 vacation days and 5 sick days. That's not enough, right?
meara, that's what I had when I started my current job ... and it was stingy. But most places you get more leave time as time passes.
That was the starting time off at my last two gigs.
That's pretty standard for starting. You might be able to negotiate on the time off if you get an offer.
Serious? Maybe my industry is more generous than usual--my job before this I got 24 (total), and current-now-ex-job I got 18.
Partly I guess because people in my position do tend to work a lot of hours either in the office or travelling, and we don't get comp time for that...
You could certainly mention that you got 18 at your last job once you're to the the ironing out the details stage.

Same industry, as you know. Old job was 10 days sick, 2.5 weeks vacation starting. New job is 18 days of PTO.
5 sick days a year? If I was working full time I would use them up just going to the doctor. Dentist 4 times a year;doctor twice; eye doctor 1 reg, 1 diabetes; mammogram. Not that they take all day - but when would I have time to be sick?
( i work part time - and get about 6 full days of sick leave- but they can add up - and because of my schedule, i don't have to take time off for doctor's apointments
