[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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
No prob, Bug, I knew what you meant in your post, I was just tickled to see the other lights there!
I have a soft spot for lights on houses, even icicles or giant balls or whatever and don't mind the cheese factor, but I hate the blow-ups. Not a very defensible position, I admit.

Oh Sean. I texted you earlier. Mark Bate is available tonight.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Just got the counter-counter offer; they won't go up on the starting salary. The HR guy was very emphatic that there'll be regular reevaluations and that if things go well I'll bump right along; however, the salary they've offered is actually 1K a year more than their top admin asst salary, and since this position isn't officially an exec or research asst position (both of which start at about 5K above what they're offering), they can't go higher. For now, anyway; he did make lots of "future opportunities" noises and he cheerfully gave in on all the non-money issues I had.
Also, I think I waited too long to eat lunch and now it feels like my head is stuffed with taffy. Probably not the best mindspace from which to ponder big life issues.

I'm sorry, JZ. Did you hear back about the other possible job yet?

I'm getting the pig!
Mark Bate is available tonight.
Oh goodness. So many names to substitute for his first name. Dear me. Brain overload. Do people at least call him Master or Shark?
Glad the food trying process is going well so far, Sean.

I'm sorry, JZ. But the rest of it sounds promising... Good decision ~ma.

Mostly lurking...
Much decision~ma to you, JZ. How frustrating.
So, I picked Toto up tonight, only to pick up his bed and realize that it had...well, I won't gross you all out. So, he got a new bed: [link]

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Maybe the upside-down hydra trees are a Los Angeles thing.
I guess they just aren't in my neighborhood. But LA is a very big city.

Thrive to spite them
I saw the most hideous Christmas deocration EVER at TJ Maxx, I wish I'd had a camera.
Picture a fake palm tree with that garlandy fuzzy stuff. Now picture one with metallic silver palm fronds and an electric green trunk.
With twinkling lights.
Nothing was as hideous as that.
If I have a decorating pet peeve it has to be the half assed lights. The lights that are only on one branch or only go up part of the way.
Also, I'm posting this from my new laptop! He's name is McKay.
