barely better.
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

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.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
She worries about wearing the right things so people don't laugh at her, and she never seems to feel like she quite fits in, but she has a best friend.
Oh Kara. I feel like I should be writing her little notes of encouragement on bat-festooned stationery.

Well you should have, because she probably never head that joke before.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Tired. Stop. Don't wanna teach anymore today. Stop.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I had another "progress report" meeting at work today, on whether or not I'm doing enough work, etc. I was all paranoid that mean!boss was going to tell me I hadn't been getting enough done (even though I had my own records to show that I've been doing a LOT), because she's just been giving off a really negative vibe lately (and I mean negative even for HER).
I was wrong -- they told me I'm doing great and I'm going back to 40 hours starting Monday.
!!!!
When this first went down, in July, I thought that the soonest I'd be even *considered* to go back to 40 hours would be October. (Actually, I think that's what they *told* me.) I guess I'm a better worker than they thought, huh?
This doesn't mean I'm not looking for other jobs; I definitely am. But the economy is sucking in these parts, and this means I at least get my full salary back to build up a nest egg and pay off credit card debt while I keep looking.
Lord, this has been insane.

Yay, Teppy! And continued ~ma in finding a job that will get you out of there.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
That's fantastic news, Tep, but I'm afraid I still hate all their guts for jerking you around in such a shitbaggy way over the last couple of months.
Still, go you for making them suck it and eat all their nasty little words!

Good for you, Tep! Welcome back to working Fridays with the rest of us chumps! Or is it that you get 10-hr days now?
(I always thought the wrongest thing about this - besides the whole wrongity wrong wrong of their perspective in general - was making a four-day work week something for you to stress about and suffer for, rather than celebrate. Because that should be a good thing, you know?)
