Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?  

[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’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I called today to arrange to come in to get my stuff. 5 teachers out.

FIVE teachers have quit?? Damn. Good luck to you, Erin. I'm so sorry it went down that way. You so don't deserve that.

ION, gulp. I am considering taking 2 classes next semester (Spring 09)instead of spreading them out, 1 class in the spring, 1 class in the summer. I've never taken more than one class at a time since I started my degree program!! But then I'd be DONE.

FIVE TEACHERS!!!??

ION, not at all related:

Daniel Radcliffe not wizard at flirting
Daniel Radcliffe admits he still has a lot to learn when it comes to attracting members of the opposite sex. The Harry Potter star says he tries to get to women to notice him by staring at them. "My school of flirting rule is to look at them until they notice me and then hope for the best," he says.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Way-better-job~ma to you, Erin. No job is worth that God-awful feeling.

I don't start school until the week of 9/22. And it will be my LAST QUARTER EVAH! In the meantime, though, I have to finish my portfolio paper (10 pager), which is due on 9/12. Then I leave for a week in the Keys on 9/13! WEEEEE!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Erin, you are wise and courageous. I'm sorry this job was so toxic. Best of job~ma to you.

I wish I had the guts to try to go back to school. It burns and eats away at me that I didn't finish my degree. But I don't have the nerve to work and go to school, any more.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Erin, that sounds mad scary. Glad you're out.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Oops. five teachers didn't show up today! I have no idea if they quit. But, still...

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Erin, for your sake I'm glad you're out (and that the nightmares are stopping). May you find something much better - it'd have to be saner, right? - in the near future.

Good luck, Erin. That last job sounds like it was completely soul sucking, ugh. Job~ma!

ION, I have done my share for the week. Unemployment says I have to apply for at least two jobs a week. I have done that already, today. (I'll do more, but I feel all virtuous for meeting their requirements.) Plus, I have a phone interview in 45 minutes, so the job search is moving apace.

Good for you, Erin!

Good luck, Sail!

“Not dead yet!”

I'm sitting here trying to feel virtuous over my lunch, since I've started trying to work my way back to eating healthy after a summer of travel/conference eating. Thin slices of hard salami, a couple of pieces of good cheddar, raw sugar snap peas, carrots, and broccoli with a little bleu cheese dip, and a crisp, ice cold Red Delicious apple.

I'm full now, but I hope I'm not starving in two hours.
