Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

Spike ,'Sleeper'


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.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Aw, thanks for all the sympathy.

But I do haveta say it's not unexpected. This is a temp job and it's actually pretty gracious of them to give me two weeks notice rather than a "Thank you, we won't be requiring your services after today" as so often happens to temps.

And they said they thought I was super-awesome and all that and even offered me letters of recommendation if I should need them. It's just that they wanted someone with a much stronger HR background with all sorts of certification that I don't have and they don't want to wait for me to get and I understand that.

So, it's cool. It's not SUPER-cool, but it's cool.

All is well that ends in pizza.

That's a bit better, indeed.

I hope you can find a good job or temp job to start at the end of the two weeks.

I'm told if you tell prospective employers you want to minimize down time between jobs, they take notice.

As for the rest, what Windsparrow said.

Totally unrelated, this ICHC entry overloaded both WS and my "awww" meters: [link]

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

If I saw this on a car in front of me, I'd probably come up with "D blows ND" and wonder how it got through. Unless, of course, it was on a vehicle that said, "Diablo Sound" on it, in which case totally never mind.

yeah, there was a big brouhaha around here about personalized plates a while back. A guy had one that said "ISLCRK" As it happens, he was president of a corporation called Isle Creek. But, lots of people thought it meant "I sell crack"

Our wings are not tired.

That sounds better, MM. Take them up on the letter of recommendation.

Feel better ~ma for Jilli & Kristin.

I'm stuffed up and sore throaty, but I'm dragging my butt to the shower now because work needs my attention. Not that I haven't been working, but work that I can't do on my laptop in bed needs doing. Blah.

The upside is that since I worked from home this morning I boiled eggs so there is egg salad for lunch to look forward to. And my sister is coming over for the weekend to help me get out from under the burden of work. MIL is coming tomorrow, and she will be helpful, but that means I have to do dishes sometime today. Blah again. Double blah because I will get the talk about how the boys should help me more. I think I will have to tell her I don't feel well enough for company. See how I solved my problem there just by blabbing away here...

Hee, because really the people I have know that were crackheads would totally have a license plate declaring it, because crackheads not so logical in the thinking.

The status is NOT quo.

That makes more sense than anything else I've seen. And yes, the truck is labeled Diablo Sound all over, but the DMV doesn't know that. Maybe DIABSND would go through.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Totally unrelated, this ICHC entry overloaded both WS and my "awww" meters:

Oh my God, its wee face!

Aaaaw!

(Mind you, the 'facebook' one a few pictures down cracked me up.)

makes plan to send 2 teen boys to Vortex to help her with housework

Really, they do stuff both at the office and at home. But you have to micromanage and monitor constantly because the motivation isn't there. It is often much less energy to just do it yourself.
