Aims, if anyone can do it, you can. Without smoking, even.

[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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Daniel, it's so great to heat that!
Where is the energy comming from. Not from food or water
Love. Love, love, love, love, love, love, and love. At least, I think it's the case with my dog.
Aims, just want to let you know: from the I-don't-even-know-how-many-thousands-of-miles-there-are-between-us-or-how-much-I-know-these-internet-people, but I'm proud of you. So much. You're magnificent.
And now, IOlessbetterN: after all of the stuff with my dog, getting out of the army and hell of disappointing first job, my sis found out yesterday that a friend of hers was killed in a car crash. I wish I could make any of that easier on her.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Shir, comfort~ma for your sister. I hope this is the last of the bad news. From here on out, good news for you and your family.
Daniel, that is WONDERFUL! Another heaping round of health~ma for Ray and your Mom! BEHOLD! THE POWER OF THE ~MA!!
IOmeN :: sits on moving around May 1st bench with Aims :: After much soul searching, I've decided to take the gig. Apparently there is one more hurdle.
> Also, all new hires do go through a background check so your offer will be contingent upon that, but you can do that when you get here.@@ So apparently, first you are notified you are a finalist, but an offer can't be made until references are checked. Then when that is done, an offer is made, but can not be finalized until a background check is done? Seems the order of operations is a bit out of whack.
Now, if anyone has good advice how to tell a friend and boss of 13 years you are abandoning him to move back to CA, it would be greatly appreciated.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So sorry, Stephanie.

That's pretty standard, Omnis? At least in jobs I've applied for. But it's also pretty much a technicality, providing you've not lied on anything--are you, in fact, who you say you are? Do you actually have the degrees you put on your resume? Have you previously been arrested and not disclosed it on any applications you filled out? Etc etc.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
ma~~ to your sister, Shir.
omnis, not that I have any really good way to tell your boss, but honestly, if he really is a good boss , he want you to move forward. the library world is pretty small -- in he bay area - everyone knows everyone. Everyone behaves very professionally. Sometimes the way to move forward is to move out. You aren't abandoning your boss, you are moving out so that when you come back you 'll be even better. That is the attitude here.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
last night i dreamed that i had a third breast. not just an extra nipple, but a whole extra boob under my left arm. it was ugly and itchy and annoying and extremely uncomfortable as my bra band of course went right over it, smushing it down in a painful way. I can't help wondering if a cat was trying to burrow under me in my sleep.

My name isn't Omnis_Audis. Crap. I'm not going to get the gig now!
(clearly feeling a lil less stressed if I can crack a feeble joke about it)

Our wings are not tired.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Trying to keep my spirits up, but the day started miserably. It is my 20th anniversary and I love DH, so that part is cool.
First off, the kid is fine. My son totaled his car last night. He says the wheels locked. Adults viewing the situation think he was going too fast around the corner and slammed on his brakes causing the wheels to lock. Anyway, straight off the intersection taking out the pole for the walk sign, took down a tree or two. Every side of the car is crashed. Even the trunk has a gash in it from the sign falling. Air bags deployed and he was belted. He is sore and of course devastated.
I'm up because I have to get the other kid off to school then I am going to try and get some more sleep. Kids.
