Color me gobsmacked - one of our estimators just quit. Packed up his stuff, handed in a letter, and walked out.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[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.

I'd love to see Jilli's take on the TAR goths as a GCS topic. Assuming she has one, of course.
FTR, "oh my goth" aside, they're to all appearances smart, perky, and generally decent people, and so far are holding their own in the race. Which won't strike anyone here as particularly noteworthy, but I was so relieved when it became apparent that they weren't going to be the butt of season-long joke.
(Though I also started thinking about the amount of sleep they might be losing just getting ready to start each leg, then I thought about Jilli on the race and what that would entail, and then I went "Oh my god! She'd be like a goth Amelia Peabody!", and then I just squeed.)

The status is NOT quo.
"Oh my god! She'd be like a goth Amelia Peabody!", and then I just squeed.
!!!!!!!!!!!!
The awesomeness of that concept cannot be expressed.

JZ, all my digits are crossed for you (except the 2 that I'm using to type).
sumi, did you see your birthday wishes from yester-evening?
On this season of The Amazing Race, there is a team of dating goths
The Boy referred to them as "punk-rockers," and I had to correct him. When he disagreed, I busted out the Lady of the Manners trump card.

Well, I got vampires on Supernatural. (But I knew that was happening.)
My friend M. sent me a signed copy of Tim Gunn's book and when I spoke to her she told me she's expecting - so I got to hear some good news. Always nice.
Now, if only I could have slept for 5 or 6 more hours.

Hooray for the good interview yesterday and crossed fingers for today, JZ!

Good luck, JZ!
I have been calling pest control companies to come and get rid of the crickets. I have no idea what an exterminator costs, and none of the companies will tell me. Does the hivemind know how many hundreds of dollars this will cost me?
In other news, we have our Thanksgiving here today. I'm calling it "Practice Thanksgiving" and have already warned the Director not to expect anything from me at the Dept Heads meeting this afternoon.

We had exterminators in for roaches and it was $75 for a one-time and $125 if we wanted them to come back every 3 months for some unspecified period.
We have cave crickets in the basement, too, but since all we do there is store stuff and do laundry, they don't worry me too much.
