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.

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

Oh, I'm happy for you Teppy - but I join in the hate of those people for treating you that way.

(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?)
Oh, well do I know. (And yes, I'm going to 4 10-hour days, although I don't think that the company as a whole is going to stay at 10-hour days for a whole lot longer; at least half the office really dislikes the long days and wants to go back to 5 8-hour days. It's possible the PTB will open the office 5 days and then let whoever wants to keep doing 10-hour days do so, as long as their department is always covered. Anyway, if we switch back, I'm a 5 8-hour day woman all the way. 10 hours is too fucking long.)
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.
I am JZ in this.
As am I. I think that (possibly) they may have realized that they mis-judged my performance back in the day, given that it's only been 2 goddamn months and I'm suddenly A+ girl again.
Whatev. Just gimme my full-time paycheck and back off, you know?

Hurrah, Teppy!
Don't you dare stop keeping records, though.

Oh HELL NO. Not one bit. (Though I might back off of the obsessive monitoring of my time down to the minute. Which I really was doing, and if my lunch hour was really 62 minutes, I worked until 5:02 and marked it in my records.)

I loved 4 10s, because it meant a week with one fewer morning and one fewer commute. I don't actually hit my stride until about 3 anyway.

That's great news, Tep. I still hate their shitbaggy ways.

Me, too. But I need their shitbaggy paycheck.

I'd love 4 10s, as long as I could do my schedule of 10. I wouldn't come in early, but I'd happily do 9-7.

Great news, Teppy.
So. My adviser thinks that I'm not going to be able to graduate next summer, like I'd been planning to do. Looks like this doctorate might take 6 1/2 or 7 years, rather than the 5 or 6 I'd thought. But on the plus side, one of my students told me that I'm the highlight of her Tuesday.
