Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[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.
Erin needs an excellent job! Because she is an excellent teacher! And excellent all around! Hear that, universe?

We did R&J in ninth grade, actually. I know we did
The Crucible, Waiting for Godot,
and
The American Dream,
too (not in ninth grade, though, probably obviously). I can't remember what other Shakespeare we did in high school, though.
Waiting for Godot
I did a college paper on Endgame, and got an A pretty much just for attempting it.
Heh. And tech support guy just transferred me to billing for no apparent reason. The billing girl and I are laughing and laughing and laughing.
Erin - lots of jobma for you!
I think we read
Waiting for Godot
in AP English, senior year. I loved it. Everyone else was terribly frustrated. I can't remember if I ever read
Endgame.
I remember all the Shakespeare I took in college, and it was a lot. But I can't for the life of me remember if we did any other plays in high school, which just seems wrong.
Ok, I have eaten my muffin (with butter: mmmm) and written my thank-you note to yesterday's interviewer(I have really pretty thank-you notes, I wish y'all could see them. They're profesional, yet...pretty!)
Gotta go get stamps, post some stuff, then I am taking some "eh" books to the used bookstore so I can come back and make some order in my office.
Thanks for all the good thoughts -- I AM GOING TO GET THIS JOB.
Mannnnntraaa. OOOOMMMMMMM.
o_a, since we're posting at the same time, I wanted to offer my empathy/sympathy on your Time Warner Cable issues. I just moved (about 2 miles but from one market to another) and we dealt with:
A contractor telling me it was "against TWC policy to drill through hardwood flooring," even though we had a letter of permission from our landlord. I said "fine, run a splitter." He went outside, came back in, and added, "Besides, your crawlspace is dirty." I boggled, then reiterated "Fine, JUST RUN A SPLITTER."
There are more shenanigans involving modem mix-ups and contractor idiocy that I'm too tired to recount.
I just got the first bill and they are not honoring the promotion they offered us (I was going to drop digital and DVR) AND my bill for internet jumped $20.

We should take you to see some local bands, omnis! I know Mr. J took you to Balcony to hear jazz, but we also need to show you Lee Harvey's, Doublewide, Sons of Herman and Dada.
YES! Twist my arm and drag me out. It won't take much. But, as we saw this weekend and last night, I'll sit around and do work all the time. Call me! er. um. Well. You know what I mean.
On that news, I am going on Saturday to see this band, Oso Closo at House Of Blues. Sounds like there will be 3 other bands too.
OK, I'm working. no really. I am.
I wanted to offer my empathy/sympathy on your Time Warner Cable issues.
Comcast hasn't been much easier. I got invoiced for a digital package I don't have "Oh, that covers all the channels over 99", "Maybe but I don't get them and I don't want them". I have my own modem that I bought back in California and they are charging me a rental fee. Uh, no. Then they had the wrong apartment number so they had to cancel our service and reset it against the right apartment.
With all the changes to the bill the person I was talking to told me to hold off on payment until I got a new bill. If they cut my service or charge me a late fee I will cut a bitch.
