{{{Aimee}}} Good luck!
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Good luck, Aimee. And feel free to vent here if you need to.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Good luck Aimée. and just remember the immortal words of Jonathan Coulton:
Code Monkey not say it out loud
Code Monkey not crazy just proud

Speaking of Jonathan Coulton (not really), has anyone else seen "Colton Ford"'s video? Holy crap on a crapstick!
Turns out that gay-affiliated or not, I don't share the same taste in videos as Logo's video-pickers. Eesh.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Good luck, Aimee

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
both historical documents and imagined stories that illuminate the period they were written down as much as the period they are supposed to be about
Not to mention when they were translated.
Yikes, Aimée. Here's to smoothness!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Remember, keep Hangin' Tough during the talk. You got the right stuff, so you just have to take it Step by Step. And don't forget, I'll be loving you forever.
Laughed out loud at this, I did.
It was ... fine. Typical Boss. Nothing written out, nothing concrete with the exception of I am not allowed to take personal days and if I feel that I need to be in a job where I can take personal days, then I need to find another job. Eye rolly times infinity. Of course I got the "My girlfriend has worked for 2 1/2 years and not taken a single sick or personal day." "I work 11+ hours a day and can't take personal days." Whooptee hootee. How sucktastic for you.
He did say that he likes me, personally and he wants me to stay and he likes 95% of my work performance but that I need to fix somethings which, overall, I agree with. I do need to fix some things.
I mostly just sat there. I'd said everything before and retouched on some stuff, but whatever. This is not my career, it is just my job.
Thank yoy guys for the vibes and support.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"My girlfriend has worked for 2 1/2 years and not taken a single sick or personal day." "I work 11+ hours a day and can't take personal days."
Huh?
"My girlfriend has a job where she has to dress like a fairy penguin every day. So you should too, because, um... just because."

Now tagless for your comfort.
"I work 11+ hours a day and can't take personal days."
That's because it's YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS, ASSFACE! You can't expect an employee to put as much time and energy into YOUR business as you do. If you do, give them half the profits. If you can find any after you fuck around with your stupid cashflow, Doofus.
People do not work at places where they can't take personal or sick days. They just don't.
Damn, I want a Craft Lite Cutter.

Dude. That's whack. I mean, does he give you vacation and sick time, and not expect you to take it? Or does he not give you any, and really think that's...feasible?
He may work 11 hour days, but didn't you also say he didn't want you to take off the other day because he was at a BASEBALL game???? WTF dude?
On a separate note: If I get in the shower, that means the UPS man will arrive, correct?
