[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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Well, my current job does not allow any flexibility (natch), but my old, corporate job did. As long as my dept. was covered 8:30-5:30, we were good. I had someone who liked to work 8-5 (or even 7:30-4:30) and I didn't go in until 9:30 (and would work till 7 or 8).

As a non-morning person, a school schedule kills me. Getting up at 5:30 and leaving home at 6:30 blows.

Go, Pix, on the interview!! So not surprised.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

yay Kristin!

happy birthday Drew

I work varied hours. My personal feeling is that as long as I am not letting anybody down --I don't stress about it. I am currently early on thursdays but other days are more flexible.

Go Kristin! That's great news!

I would be nervous about working anywhere but Microsoft at this point, because the "core hours" of 10 to 4 are a godsend to me. To say that I am am not a morning person is an understatement.

New cat - Nathaniel has been been vaccinated, microchiped and snip. He was a major brat at the vet -- which is why everything happened to day. He is supposed to be sleeping now. however, he has been watching everything out the window and is currently purring, just because I gave him a quick pet

Aww. Quite the eventful day for Nathaniel. It sounds like he's recovered his zen, though.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I had a phone interview with the associate head and have been asked to come in for a full day of interviews on Monday the 26th. Meep!
That is awesome! You'll kick butt at that interview too!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Go Kristin!

I'm glad that y'all and Nathaniel found each other, beth.

I would love to work 10 to 5 with an hour lunch. I know, not feasible. I try to get to work at 8, my official start time is 8:30, and sometimes I miss the mark badly. I've been written up before. There's pressure to be consistent, I think largely b/c some of my office has to swipe in and only have TWO MINUTES grace. The fact that my job is entirely different than theirs is irrelevant, as is the fact that my supervisor is FAR from being the poster child for consistent start time. ::shrugs:: I wish I knew what my ideal situation was, I really don't even know. So here I am, slogging along.
