OMG Flea, that's horrible.
ION, I am getting spam from someone named KingJuicy Velour.

WTF, flea! How annoying and yet oddly not unexpected from a University, because lo, they are weird. My boss has been trying to get me a grade bump for 3 months, and it would have been easier to post a NEW job, hire me, and then eliminate my old one!

Trust my rage
flea, that's really sucky. (I'm using that word as much as possible since I got yelled at for using it at work a few weeks ago.) This hiring process has been going on forever and it just now occurred to him?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Happy Birthday, DebetEsse!

Frail my heart apart and play me a little Shady Grove
Happy Birthday to the very hott DebetEsse!
Sophia, this is a little late, but I'm so sorry to hear about your former student.
I'm excited there will be Buffistas at FSF! Juliana, maybe Vortex and Aimee, and Steph would like to go and should. I'd like to see the Buffistas who *won't* be there, too. I will take this to F2F and/or get on the SF list (making the wild assumption there is one).
Smooches to Sophia, Kathy A, Matt, and others who shouted out after I had to get back to work!
I'm slowly catching up in Bureaucracy. I want to comment on what's happening, but want to get a better feel for the issues. I've gotten some perspective after being away for so long. I'm sorry I missed the survey; I was amazed and pleased at lurker response. Cool.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oy vey, flea. That is totally sucky.

Oh, flea. I'm so sorry. What do you think HR will do to make it up to you?
I'm looking for a plain white line for a moses basket. Any ideas where I could get one?

flea, that is of the suck. Your BigBoss is crazy to have gone through the trouble of posting/interviewing, having someone competent to fill the position and then deciding not to fill it.

Concur on the suckiness for flea. OTOH, a bit of groveling in one's life, that one does not have to perform oneself, can be delightful. Make them pay, sister!!

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'll add to the chorus of WTFs, flea. Isn't BigBoss going to Harvard or something? And why couldn't he have thought this out four months ago? Bleh and bleh. I hope you get some concessions for being jerked around.
