Sending serious employment vibes to all those who need 'em.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Call them?
It's through my temp agency, so all I can do is bug them. Which I have been doing.
DavidS, how long has it been since the interview?
Just since Tuesday, which I know is not long for a permanent job. But to start the temp position, they wanted somebody to start Thurs-Fri to get trained by the person who used to hold the job (and she's going out of town).
So, I suspect they're treating it more like a permanent hire (it's a six month commitment just on the temping side), but also suspecting that they have doubts about me or they would've jumped already. I might be their back pocket choice, or something.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Gnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh. I want to crawl into a cave and have someone bring me margaritas. This week SUCKS.
(And not just for me, either. WTF, universe?)

It's really been a bad year for Buffistas. Much more suffering and loss than usual.

Oh Sean, I'm so sorry. I'll be holding you and S in my thoughts today.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I seriously just had an exchange that went something like this.
Me: Client can't do it on Monday.
Other person: Push for Monday
Me: Client said absolutely not, he won't have phone or internet access.
Other person: It has to be Monday
Me: ???

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

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Daisy Jane- how about next monday?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Oh no. This meeting does have to happen, like not even ASAP, but STASAP. I get where everyone is coming from, but telling me it has to happen Monday and having the client tell me it can't happen Monday, is when you get someone higher up than me to force a compromise.
Otherwise you make the baby DJ cry.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Tom is in an interview, in downtown Boston. We rode the train in together!
This is something I can get behind, not least of which as it could lead to fun excursions with the McWaringles.
Sean, hoping the hold-steady holds steady.
