Found out yesterday that I'm getting RIF'd.
Yyyuck. I'm so sorry, ChiKat.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

[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.

What a bummer, ChiKat. This is indeed a sucky time to be unemployed.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh boo, ChiKat. Boo them, not you, who are lovely and accomplished and will soon be productively employed, I decree it.
Oops. Imperial decree belongs to the Empress. I'm sorry you're not feeling well, Aimee. And Hil, and sj. I add my ow, dammit! to the chorus and gulp down my increasingly regular dose of Aleve. Owie.
Steph, I'm glad the horribleincredibleunstandable pain has given way to omgsore! Which will heal, so I vigorously approve.
Aaaand, I managed to get an appointment with the podiatrist for fricken toenail surgery this week. Stoopit psoriasis making my toenails tunnel and do ouchy things. I miss peep-toe sandals and polished piggies.

Heaps of job~ma, ChiKat.
Heaps still coming your way, too, Sail.
If I could find someone on this campus (in the president's office or HR - I'm not sure where our paperwork is at the moment) to move things along, I could actually hire someone. I've made phone calls, reminded folks I'm going to be on pregnancy leave so we'd really like to move on this now . . . and no one has returned a phone call or an email. Frustrating!

That sooo sucks, ChiKat. At least you now have a couple of years of experience under your belt, so it should be easier to find a job than last time, right?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Oops. Imperial decree belongs to the Empress.
Feel free to decree by proxy! This situation truly needs a decree-ing.
A pox on them ChiKat!

Oh damn, ChiKat! That sucks. Is it because of the getting-rid-of-drama stuff??
Sparky, ass 'em in the ear. That'll wake them up!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ooh, Aims, there's a typo in your tagline. It should be "their," not "there."
Cool tagline, though.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Sorry ChiKat
I think when it started raining cats and dog today they for got to let them out of the bag. Eveytime you walk outside it feels like buckets are being dumped on you.
