No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

[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.

Punishingly Intricate

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

RAD! Plus you get a day off! bonus!

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

Mostly lurking...

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Yay, MM! I hope you like the new job!

New job, same as the old job, yes?

Many buyers want to move right in - not have to get WORK done.

OTOH, some buyers LOVE that shit. That way they can make the house into what they want. Try to look at it that way -- you're selling something that an industrious renovating FREAK is going to adore.

Trust my rage

MM, that's great!

Suzi, I would be wary of listing a house at say, X when I think its really worth X + 20K but it needs 20K worth of repairs. YMMV, of course, but I think you will be more likely to get what you want if you say that your price is X+20 but tell them right away about the 20K.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Huh - I'm almost positive that violates the contract they have with the agency (most temp agencies make big fat commissions on temp-to-perm hires), but probably works out for more money for you so yay!

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

New job, same as the old job, yes?

Yes, just not through the temp agency. Which may lead to PERMANENT full-time stuff with BENEFITS.

Trust my rage

oh, and Vortex, I have a large ponytail in a bag that I'm planning on donating. They won't send it here so they gave it to me.

Oops. I'm guilty of skimming. I thought the current job couldn't offer you anything.
