What the frak, Aims? That sucks. ~ma for Joe and you both.
I was just extolling the virtues of the Amazon Marketplace today. I love it. Sorry you're having issues, Laga.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

[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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
What the frak, Aims?
Well, he had a meeting with the director of the department yesterday who was VERY hostile and rude. For instance - told Joe that she was being told that he wasn't asking very many questions, but seemed to be taking notes. She then asked to see his notes and when she looked at them and saw his doodles from the longer calls of people ranting (mind you - he was just listening in on these calls - not actually helping someone) she said, "Oh. Nice pictures. I'll bet you learn a lot while you're drawing." She then got pissed off when Joe said, "No, thank you" when they were passng out ice cream sundaes later that day. Joe doesn't eat sweets. Hardly ever.
She also made it a point to tell him that she was NOT a part of the hiring process with him and seemed to be very resentful of that. And also she said that him not overturning everything in his life to make sure he could get down to Ohio for training next week was "unacceptable".
He just got the call that "they feel it's not a good fit."
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
He just got the call that "they feel it's not a good fit."
Well, considering she's the boss I think that's correct. She's totally nutbar.
I'm sorry, though. I know money's tight for you guys and jobs are hard to come by there.

Buggering hell, Empress. I think after the disappointment wears off that he'll count his blessings that he's out of there. They think less of him for not having one of the sundaes? Loons.
