Just got news on our raise next year. 2%. Better than a cut, but we'd been led to believe it was finally going to be substantial after two years of reductions. Trying to remain positive but a bit bummed since our salaries are already on the low-end for this area.
Willow: It feels like we're going around in circles. Xander: Our circles are going around in circles. We got dizzy circles here.

[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.

The status is NOT quo.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
He's been wearing his clothing (don't judge, he's nearly bald underneath and shivers in the cold)

We did the same thing.
Awww. There's the sweet girl. That sweater was a good color for her. And I love the photobomb.
Bartleby's clothes...all three pieces...are mostly human clothes that work pretty well on him. Keeps the belly dry and stops the shivering. His actual dog coat makes him crazy...like trying to grind it off, crazy...but the two little kid fleeces seem relatively tolerable.

I tried to put a sweatshirt on the Biscuit in Chloe's memory, but he was having none of it.

Heh. Kato would eat the clothes before he'd let us dress him in anything. Although I keep pimping for a nice bow tie like Bartelby.

I can't even remember where I got his bowtie. But his clothes come from the children's consignment shop. I need to take photos of his blue fleece pullover (the favorite, as it is apparently quite comfortable) and his brown hoodie (sans hood) zip up. I like that one because it is easier to get on, but I think he finds it a bit restrictive.
In any case, warm is good.

“Not dead yet!”
Warmth not so much an issue for the girls. One has a natural lush coat, the other cavorts enough for any three dogs to keep warm.

I'm not sure I could manage a floofy coated dog. I've got enough to cope with with just the white needly stuff getting stuck everywhere.

Sorry, Pix. That sucks. I have my annual review etc on Thursday--she had to change it to then, and scheduled it during my planned haircut. So I had to cancel the haircut....and now I can't get it cut til MARCH. Grrr.

I am never, EVER getting another floofy-coated cat. Ever. No matter how damn cut the kitten may be.
(Trinian, Queen of Fuzzwumpia, would like you all to know that I am a horrible cat owner, and that brushing is EVIL and WRONG. Even if she does get treats after.)
