'Harm's Way'
[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.
Turns out? I'm salaried. Didn't know that until last Friday. I get the satisfaction of a job well done.
I don't know any CFOs who are hourly.
And, your boss is exploiting your loyalty and I really hate him. This bullshit is only going to end when you quit. Did you ever get the raise or the medical benefits that he promised you?
Vibes for new truck!!!
Well, looks like Em missed pre-school again. Not sure why and I'm trying really hard not be pissed off since it's free babysitting, but it's starting to overwhelm me.
I think I need to go vent my spleen on lj.
Or get drunk.
One of those.
I wish I was there to get you drunk!!! (Or you were here!!)
Did you ever get the raise or the medical benefits that he promised you?
I got the medical benefits. He pays 100% for a BC/BS plan that covers Joe and Em, too. I didn't push the raise issue, because he's paying considerably more for those benefits than the other company would have in benefits plus the raise.
But yeah - it sucks cause I really, REALLY need a day off. From everything and (love you honey) everyone.

Oh! I totally missed that. He does get points for that. But, still wanna get you drunk. And yeah, you need some time off from everything. You deserve it.
Aimee, no rush. We're not getting in until 10 tonight, so I won't get a chance to read it until tomorrow.
and frank, it's not looking too great to get together with you though the menu looked AWESOME
I had a feeling that was the case. And it turns out I've got plans on Thursday myself and leaving for Maine on Saturday, which doesn't leave a lot of openings left anyway. You really need to, well, get better first off, and then get over there with Tom some time. The risotto I had there was the best I've ever had.

I feel ya, baby, no offense taken.
We should work something out. I know your weekend plans didn't come together...
...Tell you what. Why don't you see if your sister or some friend wants to hang out Saturday and Sunday? I'll do my thing Friday night, if that comes together, and you can piss off on Saturday overnight to Sunday somewhere and I'll watch Em.
How the heck do you tell a man, "No, you may not be the man you've longed to be for ten years and show your wife how much you appreciate her"?
You don't, especially not in these initial stages of "Seriously? We aren't going to debtors' prison? You mean it???" I'd say that the best thing you can do is gently guide his purchases (the ones for you) so that you end up with something you would wear/use. Maybe earrings?
Besides, I always got the impression that your DH is well aware that you prefer cutty, blade-y things to sparkly, gem-y things.
(suddenly picturing MM showing Em pictures of people, and saying "who's that?" and Em looks at POTUS and says "total fuckcake,") It's oddly heartwarming.ETA: Connie, he's just enjoying being able to choose again. He's had a lot of choices limited recently, and I know from experience that being poor makes it worse.
