I kept wanting to say inappropriate things like, "Another living room? Really?"
HA! I would have paid you five dollars to say it....
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

[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 be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

The status is NOT quo.
Shit, Aims. Like you guys haven't had enough on your plates??? So much ~ma to Joe's mom and to you all.
HA! I would have paid you five dollars to say it....I counted three living rooms and two dining rooms, and I only saw a corner of the house. Seriously.

My sister used to teach at a women's junior college that shall remain nameless where one of the "things to do" was for the student, mother and grandmother to get matching fur coats. Every year.
Lots of heart ~ma for your MiL, Aimee.

Because books.
Oh, Aims. All kinds of ~ma for Joe's mom, and for you both.
Why does anyone need more than one dining room?

Well, you're certainly not going to let *those* people eat in the good dining room.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Toddson, no worries. I meant THE Elvis- at least to me. I just love his sarcastic, goofy-looking, rubber ankled, lyrical genius self.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
The recruiter just called back -- they do want someone else, but they still don't want me; they strongly feel I wouldn't be a good match. I feel just sort of wretched and tainted and more and more like I'm going to end up exactly where I didn't want to be a few months ago, trapped into taking the high-paying data-manipulation-in-a-cave job on campus that I don't want but can't afford to not take, and there goes the next twenty years. Thank God there's no gin in the house.

JZ, I'm sorry they don't want you, but if they're saying you're not a good match then they know something (about themselves/the workplace) that you don't -- and probably don't want to find out. I don't think you should feel wretched, because it's about them, not you!
