My plan is that you will find this fabulous well paying job -- and then they will realizes they made a horrible mistake, but they can't have you .
meanwhile for those that miss puppycam, my sister sent me another link to an eskie video
If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I just...I have to accept responsibility that a promise isn't a hiring letter. I should have had it in hand before saying anything to my current employer.
The director of the program is trying very hard to find me a position somewhere, since she feels terribly responsible for this.
It's heartbreaking because I would have rocked this job.
Tim keeps saying, "you aren't an assistant, you're a writer, and you're going to eventually make a living writing books."
It's sweet, he doesn't really get the publishing industry and that fewer and fewer people make a living at it, but it helps to think of whatever job I do as a living and not a life, you know?

Not a snowpocalypse, thank goodness. Good timing, too -- it has 41 hours to melt before I have to drive anywhere.

Maybe I'm not done kicking the shit out of myself.

Yes it does. I was talking with a coffee shop aquatience who is in a bad situation right now -- sHe has a boss that says things like "i don't need to listen to clerical staff" after asking her a question. My friend isn't thrilled, but as she said this morning it isn't her life.
But I hope Tim is right.

Our wings are not tired.
I hope the pain stays away, Steph.
Yay for Matt! What a relief.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Congrats to Matt!
I just realised that Dev Patel is the kid from Skins. I can't believe he's supposed to be dating Freida Pinto.

Off-topic - how difficult is it to replace a faucet? If I can put together an IKEA coffee table and know which valves to turn off before I start, would I be wasting my money hiring a plumber?
I hatehateHATE the faucets in our second bathroom, and would like to do something about them.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Replacing faucets is pretty easy, so long as your wrenches can get to where the nuts are.
Repairing faucets is a lot tougher. Nowadays it's usually better to replace them instead.
