Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[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.

I think I'll go try making the Lemon Thyme Cornmeal Quick Bread recipe I got from Cooking Light. That should put me in a better mood.

A tech editing contract gig ... that pays about 2/3 of what I made ... as a contractor ON THE TEAM THAT I WAS LAID OFF FROM.

What students will do for a thesis supervisor
“There are some people you just don’t want. If everybody in the school were a good supervisor, we wouldn’t have to do this. You’ve no idea how distressing it was to see people punching each other in the queue,” said the student.

Plus, if it's contracting, they're not paying bennies either or severance when the term is up.

Yep. I told my recruiter that it wasn't enough money for to me to consider applying for it. Aaaaand I just found out that another job I applied for (with a friend's recommendation) has already been filled. Feh. Today is fired.
