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.

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

I've never sent a thank you note after an interview. Then again, I've gotten most of my jobs through agencies.

I had a horrible dream just before waking up about a nuclear disaster and trying to flee. I had a small child, too. And the bad guy somehow especially hated me, so after he set off a dirty bomb in my town, his Evil Plane came and hovered outside my apartment so he could spray me with a hose of radioactive material! My daughter was most upset when I started blistering...we were trying to reach her dad (!), who was all wrapped up in it, but somewhere else...it was very movie.

But then I woke up thinking about how if there was a big emergency and everyone needed to evacuate town, the real winners would be people on motorcycles.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

We wanted to get all the disclosure done up front so that they can't ask for discounts off the sale price. BUT, we don't want to scare people off either.

Can't you just lower your asking price by the $ amount that a new roof would cost?

Or...when my parents sold their house in MN, they gave the buyers a check for $XX amount at closing to cover the cost of new carpet.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I first had sunflower butter in one of those snackboxes on a United flight. Now I have to get that snackbox every freaking time I fly. (And I can't get one without the word "skiving" attaching itself in my head.) I've never seen sunflower butter in the store but maybe I'm not looking hard enough.

I'm so glad ita posted the link to celebrity hair in Natter. Now I know I look terrible with bangs and I'm not cute enough for super-short hair. I am a little sad that the best hairstyle for me seems to be the one I'm already sporting.

Rent was waiting when I got home last night. And I got my tax rebate so the rent is covered. I'm giving B the month of May as a trial period to see if he really can pay on tme.

I have terrible handwriting.

so very much me too. I'm afriad a handwritten note might hurt my chances of being hired.

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

So, my last day of work is next Thursday.

My first day of work is the following Monday.

They've decided to take me on "short-term hoping for long-term" full time and not through my temp agency.

So, in the zargon of the modern youth: O, hai. I can haz jobb now.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Right. Part of the discussion on Saturday will be to set a sale price that accounts for the things we aren't willing/able to do up front. Doesn't mean that will make selling any easier. Many buyers want to move right in - not have to get WORK done.

I'm just frustrated with this whole process and we still have so much more to go. All the other pieces of this puzzle have fallen into place without much struggle, so this feels even harder than it should.
