Wow, they are calling references 9 months after you were hired! That is really odd.
Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. Zoe: We live in a space ship, dear. Wash: So?
'Objects In Space'
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I totally meant to post that in Natter. Yeah, they're doing the background check for switching to perm. You'd think I was referred just by having been endorsed by my boss and the CIO after all this time here, no?
But they're serious.
Hard core.

Ah, that makes more sense. If the original references are not available totally use us. I give good reference.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Fuck cancer, indeed. I'm so sorry, sj.
And I'm thinking good thoughts for the beneficent magic of a game of cards, Laura.
Stabbity stabbity splorch: Hec and I have been keeping very close and diligent tabs on our bank accounts this month, trying to be responsible and attentive and not overdrawn (and also feed our children), and in pursuit of such have been logging on and moving funds around as needed. Which apparently triggered two "excessive transaction" fees of $10 each in the last 24 hours. For once we can spare the $20, but it seriously chaps my ass that we have to.

Banks have caused me more stress than even teens. Evil.

JZ, excessive transactions fees? WTF?

Well, you know, I guess it's really expensive for them to run a website, and if you do more than 10 things online per month you run the risk of making the servers exploderate, which would probably cost them at least $10.
I mean, it's only Wells Fargo; it's not like they can afford something spiffy and ita-designed. I guess our overenthusiastic balance-adjusting was throwing their hamsters off the spinny wheels, or caused them to have to run to the hardware store for another roll of duct tape.

Bleh. I'm sorry you have to deal with Wells Fargo. I wholeheartedly recommend doing one's banking at a credit union, if ever you decide to change banks.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
JZ, call and vent at WF Customer Service. Or, go in tomorrow and talk to a Real Banker (TM). Odds are good they'll refund the fee this once.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I own way too much stuff. I can't even get started packing until I throw away the stuff I don't want, and so far, that's something like five garbage bags full, and there's still a ton of junk left. (Ordinarily I'd try to freecycle the usable stuff, but I really don't have time to deal with that.)
Also, after seven years of having my own kitchen, I'm still stuck in the "What? I have to do the dishes again? But I did the dishes two days ago!" mindset.
