The big plus about this job (where I used to temp frequently back in my temping days) is that they have a subsidized cafeteria.
Oh how I still miss the Schwab-ateria and the salad bar therein and, especially, potato pancake day.
Riley: Maybe I should just let you rest. Buffy: You sure? I bet if you just lay down with me- Riley: Nothing you are about to say will lead to rest.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So I just made use of their sandwich bar: whole wheat bread, big scoop of tuna, mayo, mustard, tomato, lettuce, onion. $2.22.
This same sandwich costs about $5 at the Starbucks downstairs.
For some reason I'm picturing a gang of Starbucks thugs entering your cafeteria and smashing the place up....

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
The best, though, is their hofbrau line.
I was expecting you to say that they serve beer. And I would have died from jealousy.

Might have to go kick Boss' arse.
Blah blah going to court this week for another eviction. I say, "Damn. I should have gone to law school."
He says, "YOU???"

I'm sure that he didn't mean it in a "you couldn't do it" way, more like a "why the hell would someone as cool as you want to do that" way.

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?
I used to get that same "YOU?" when I told people (our customers!) that I was the director of research for our company.
My boss told me it was because I didn't look like a researcher geek. And then he added, "If they got to know you, they'd see it fits."
In other words, I don't look like a geek, but I sure act like one.

Clearly too cool to be an accountant.
I should've done the interview prep reading this weekend...just got a call from my recruiter and am getting a call from someone in half an hour. It's the HR person, not the actual manager for the position, but....eep?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

In local news, it's 95 here, and officially Too Damn Hot. Where's my Donald O'Connor and Marilyn to sing it to me?
