Anya ,'Dirty Girls'
[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.
Well, just had my interview for the tech support job. I was not wearing my interview clothes because I thought this was scheduled for tomorrow. Fortunately I wasn't wearing too casual a top.
However, it looks like they're looking for someone with a lot more formal job experience at tech writing than I have, "though we'll look at the writing sample you just did and keep you in mind."
Crap. Hopefully the disappointment will settle in in stages.
sorry, connie.
Saturday,I pulled all the plants out of my raised beds -- including the two year old oregano and two year old tarragon. currently I have about two cups of dried oregano leaves and two cups of not-so-dried tarragon leaves. The amusing part of all this harvesting-- the cat couldn't believe I was spending so much time in the kitchen, yet nothing was for him
aw, sorry to hear that Connie.
Yay for Nicole!
So after 2 months or so with my dining room stuffed with boxes, I have given them and the packing papers away. Someone posted some items for sale in the mailbox area, so I got a toaster, she got a ton of boxes. After driving away with an suv packed, she returned with a pretty printed Chinese fan as a thank you. Shame she's moving. She's nice. Funny thing, she's moving to LA, where the boxes came from.
Congrats, Nicole!
How long have you lived in Florida? Cuz that's where my dad's family is from. Different part of the state, though - Pensacola, Quincy, Tallahassee.
I've lived in Jacksonville and Orange Park (in the 70's), Clearwater, Tampa, New Port Richey, Pensacola and Homosassa/Crystal River. Plus I lived in Tallahassee for 3 summers for grad school.
Sorry, connie. I hope they revisit your resume!
GC, neutering for Loki was $180ish, and male snipping is routinely cheaper. (All the shots, tests, deworming, etc were another $150ish.) My vet did say going through the eta: aspca humane society would be cheaper and suggested that, but I hate making appts cold, I was feeling nervous and I trust my vet. The aspcas here are cheaper due to subsidy and pro-bono work. I'd call other vets for quotes if you are otherwise happy with the vet.
(The local aspca site point out that adopting from them is cheaper than not. But sometimes that isn't an option!)
Birthday happies to Cash, Matt, and Megan!
The most I have ever spent on a spay was $90. And it was one of those "OMG you have to spay this cat today while she's in heat or I'll let her get knocked up just to shut her up!" Of course this was a small town vet, and nine years ago. The vets in Cleveland did not seem horribly more expensive than the small town Ohio vets I took my cats to way back when.
Because I care:
1970's Archie Comic cover fail
Hoo boy, there's an interesting word choice.
Possibly NSFW, I know the comments are.
Congrats, Nicole!
I talked to my adviser today. We pretty much agreed that I'm going to have to take at least an extra semester, and possibly an extra year, to finish my thesis. I'm kind of upset, but also kind of relieved, since worrying about getting it done by May or August was getting me really stressed out. The university won't renew my funding, but my parents said they'd help out. (Just praying for AIG to stay solvent now -- they're about half my dad's firm's caseload.)
And I've got a picture up now.
See, this is how come I knew you were you! Foamy!
Woot, Nicole! Congratulations!
Congratulations Nicole!
Happy birthday, to Cashmere, Matt, and Megan!
