Dude, if I were Rahm, Bad Girl Scout Dad would *so* be getting a dead fish. You don't start off from "embezzler" and try to make friends.

erika just made me spew Diet Coke

If you're gonna spew, spew onto this. *holds up monitor*

Zen, so sorry you are going through this.

Aims, I think you did the right thing.

And translucent-page Frank Lloyd Wright!

Connie, are you an Architecture geek like me?

Ugh, smonster.

Congrats, Steph.

and ION I have a headache and a stomach ache and a sore throat and today is the last day of my temp job and I have no idea when I'll be working again.

I got offered a job by the place I'm temping but the pay would be the same as I'm making as a temp and there would be no benefits. I can't afford to go without benefits as I have just started seeing a thearapist again. I like the people at this company, but not the work. It would be great to have a steady paycheck but this is not quite enough money even at 40 hours.

Blerg!

Trudy, thanks for your thoughts about wiring...lj is being strange here today or I'd leave that there.

I'm just glad my sick, sad, HGTV obsession can be of some use to the world.

Sorry for the big ol' emo dump; I just need to say something and there's no one to talk to.

Oh zen ::snuggles zen::

Today, I get an email that basically says, "I expect a financial report for this year AND last year by Sunday evening since you are off on Spring Break this week."

Jesus. You don't get to speak to me like that unless you're paying me at least 50k with full benefits.

Which I would probably write back to the guy. Something along the lines of:

"You don't get to speak to me like that unless you're paying me at least 50k with full benefits. The financial report isn't due to the GS Council unil June. After that it will be available to the parents."

Were you even a leader last year?

Thanks, all, stealing from girl scouts is about the worst thing you can accuse someone of. Maybe it's
1. Pervert
2. terrorist
3. steals money from little kids
And the weird thing is, nobody's more shocked than that guy when he gets the "Fuck off," response he so richly deserves.

Connie, are you an Architecture geek like me?

Oh, lord, yes, I've got dozens of books on architecture, especially historic domestic architecture, because I'm fascinated by the way people lived their lives in these spaces. I love Wright's designs, but there's not a lot of room for people in his houses. It's my biggest problem with appreciating modern architecture, because to me a house is foremost a place to live, not a design project. I look at some of the Van Der Rohe and Le Corbusier places and can appreciate the art, but I couldn't be comfortable in them.

Or, in shorter terms, yes.

quester, that's frustrating--you know they're paying the temp company more than you're receiving an hour! Though generally they have to then pay the temp company something if they want to hire you on separately, you'd still think they could work out something better $/hour wise.

Were you even a leader last year?

Yep, sure was.

you know they're paying the temp company more than you're receiving an hour!

Twice as much, actually.
