In Employment Cock-Teasing News:
The temp/placement agency through which I got Shitty Job w/Crazy Bitch-Boss just called. The conversation went something like this:
"Hi, this is Darlene with (temp/placement agency). I have some more information on (unnamed tech job). Looks like the training is going to be in Roseville..."
Me: "Um, pardon me. I don't think anyone mentioned this job...did we speak of this yesterday?"
Darlene: "Um..."
Me: "...or are you confusing me with someone else?"
Darlene: "Oh. I'm, uh...yeah, sorry about that. My To-Do list is very long..."
Me: "I completely understand. Is this a job I'd be qualified for...?"
Darlene: "I'm so sorry. My To-Do list..."
Me: "No, I get it. Um...how far is Roseville...?"
Darlene: "As soon as I get a hold of the HR person from (Shitty Job w/Crazy Bitch-Boss) I'll let you know what they say."
Me: "I appreciate that. Roseville is...?"
Darlene: "So sorry. Have a nice day."
Me: "You, too." (hang up) "Fuck you, too, cocksucking Reality. Very funny."
does anyone have the stick-figure sticker figures?
Clearly tommyrot watched Pushing Daisies, the show that's so nice, it names everything twice! (And doesn't seem to think it's just too, TOO precious for words.)
Sorry MM. I know it sounds inadequate, and it is, but I am sorry to hear for the whole mess.
Hey Raq, how did you get on Paizo's comp list? And can you tell me where the body is buried also?
so, I've been at my OB appointment for 2.75 hours and haven't been seen. Can I just leave?
I would, Stephanie. If the doctor's off delievering a baby, they should tell you and reschedule you. Not make you wait. If he/she's not delievering a baby, wtf?
Oh, Joe. So sorry! Evil salt-in-the-wound-rubbing bitch!

...meanwhile, my next comment is so painfully First World, diamonds-on-the-soles-of-my-shoes level whining that I think maybe you should look away now. Um. Sorry for the juxtaposition.
Things that are not lovely: noticing a suspicious fleck of darkness 2/3 of the way through your delicious choux pastry. Probing the confectioner's custard suspiciously with a fork. Discovering that it is an inch or so of small wormy/many legged beasty. Deceased.
Things that
are
lovely: the movie of
Stardust.
No, I've not yet read the book - nearly bought it several times, but once I heard there was a movie coming I eschewed it on purpose. And so glad that I did! Because, damn, that was an absolute delight, all the more so because (1) I didn't know what would happen next and (2) I wasn't thinking "no, no, you changed the story! fuckers!", as is so often the case with films of books.
I have a new movie to add to my shortlist of favourites.
they had a "new patient" Wtf, people? Don't you schedule for that?
I'm so over this island. I just want to go back to the US and have this baby there. It just takes all the fun out of pregnancy to be treated so poorlyall the time.
nods sadly
Happily I believe that this was the beasty in total, rather than half of it.
t /tattered silver lining

Um, barring an emergency (preferably life-threatening), I'd think someone with an appointment would come first. I don't see how being a new patient qualifies.
