Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.
[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.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Al-freakin'-right, meara! That's fantabulous! Congratulations on not having to deal with the WA unemployment system anymore!
I had other thoughts, but the lethally cute kidlets stole them all. All I can muster now is, "Glurble, glurble, glurble, CUTIEHEAD SPROG!"

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Dear Idiot Tenants:
Either a) get better at darts. b) stop playing darts drunk. or c) actually protect the wall behind the dartboard with a $10 piece of plywood. Either of these three things would have prevented you from being charged $75 for the current damage.

Dear People Who Feel Compelled to Take Cell Phone Pix of Me:
Look, if you aren't brave enough ask me if I mind you taking a photo, at least be a little more subtle about whipping out your cell and snapping away, okay? This is twice in four days that this is happened, and the amusement value is wearing thin.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Reminds me of my neighbor kids (in my old neighborhood). They'd sometimes punt a ball back and forth on the sidewalk. Of course their ball often slammed into parked cars. Once a neighbor told the kids to stop kicking the ball around (right after the ball had hit a parked car for the fourth or so time). So the kid said, "But I wasn't trying to hit the car."
Gotta love kid logic. 'Course in the case of the Idiot Tenants, it's adults we're talking about....

Yes, this is still in Seattle--it's a travel around and then do your reports from home type position--the guy I'd be reporting to (who interviewed me) is in Ohio!
I know (especially with the travel) that doing the 1099 thing would ultimately net me more money, but I figure a new job (because while this is stuff I've done before, it's not the same office job I've had) is enough to deal with!
