It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

[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.

It's much more difficult to have scruples when you are naked.

The status is NOT quo.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I don't know that it's more difficult to actually *have* them, but it does make it harder to present one's case.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I don't know that it's more difficult to actually *have* them, but it does make it harder to present one's case.

In that "My case, let me show you it" kind of way.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

It's much more difficult to have scruples when you are naked.

You know why? No pockets to stash them in.

I'm getting the pig!

JZ, it is understandable and commendable that you're worried about going back on your word. And if you had already given your word to Company B for an offer of 100K a year but then Company A came up with a position for the same amount PLUS use of their company jet, I would say, "Hey, GreedyPants! You already said yes to Company B!"

But that's not the case here. This is a case of needing money to eat and clothe and feed your family. And if you do find that you need to go back on your word, a heartfelt apology made either over the phone or in person will go a long way.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

JZ, you need to make the best long-term decision for you and your family. I know you have scruples and that is admirable and wonderful. But you haven't signed anything and you will be living with this decision for a very long time. It needs to be the right one.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

But I already accepted! I haven't signed off on it, but I emailed them an acceptance of the offer! I'd be going back on my word!

I feel ya. I went through similar turmoil when I accepted my current job. In that case the other offer didn't pan out and I ended up happy with the position I'd initially accepted but while the whole thing played out it was awful.

But if the offer-ers suddenly got their first choice back or the bosses kid or the budget changed or there was a re-org or... or... or... the offer would go away. Don't doubt it. It's not even a matter of you being ethical, it just feels like one.
