How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

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.

not your mom's socks.

It seems to take way too much effort to just get them to pay their bills.

ND - I would be happy to call from the legal department of Diablo Sound and tell them that their bill is in arrears.

it used to work really well with a big company that makes tools.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

yay MM!!

Susan - here are some of the things I'd think about -- Do I want to be in cities - will I need a car? What kinds of places do I wnat to stay? ( 3 star 4 star 2star? ) Do you want to stick to a food budget? or any budget? once the family goes home are you going to need to stay in a safer place? will you need a babysitter? If you couldn't do your dream of 6 weeks - what # sounds good? I think I'd start somewhere in the neighborhood of 2000.00 a week. As you get closer to the time you can adjust.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've got most of my savings in a citibank e-savings account, which was getting a pretty good interest rate for a while, but that's dropped lately. It's still giving me around $13 a month on about $6,400, though, so that's something. (I am way too lazy right now to calculate what that actual rate would be.)

I just went to a seminar on finding math academic jobs. It was terrifying.

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

from the smacking sounds I think the boys are sparring in their room. I wonder if it would be weird if I went and stood in the doorway.

um... have they paid rent yet? No? Ok then. You get to do what you want.

yes, the rent is paid! And the sparring is over anyway.

I'm annoyed because now when I type "bu" in my address bar it comes up "bulletins dot myspace dot com". I have to type buf to get here and I keep forgetting and going to myspace (ick) by mistake.

Judging my this job search seminar I went to today, I haven't published anywhere near enough. I've got a decent amount of teaching experience, actually I've got teaching experience beyond what most grad students are expected to have, but I'm behind on research stuff. Need to get something published, and soon. Which is not being helped by the fact that, each time I think that I have something workable, my advisor finds some other huge amount of work that'll add several months to writing it that he thinks would be a "really good addition."

I think that this weekend, I'm just going to put together what I have of this current paper that I know is ready to go and just explain to him that I need to get my name out there.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I've never taken any money OUT of it, and I'm not actually sure how.

If you've given ING the details of another account (for setting up auto deposits, frex) you can transfer money back the other way. If not, they'll send you a check.
