I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

[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.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

She's supposed to go to NOLA after I BUY HER A DRINK.

That could totally happen THIS WEEKEND. IJS.

It must look *twice* as bad where you are, huh? (/Davis imitating W.) Good luck.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

INDEED.

I love how any mention of THIS WEEKEND immediately makes us go all ASSCAPS.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Shit, we've both got free time. It could happen TOMORROW.

Shame, shame, shame, indeed. eta and I think I'll listen to that soundtrack right now. Thanks.

Can I just say, this is why I believe in nurturing relationships? I've already talked to three people in NOLA who want me down there and will feed me opportunities and such. BOOYAH, BITCHES. It ain't my fault I'm the sheeit! /xtina

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

smonster, so sorry for the layoff ... but the idea of using the NOLA branch to get a start in the city you want to move to is a good one.

And Fred Pete, sorry to hear about the kitty, but - from what you've done in the past - we all know you're doing everything possible for his health and happiness.

If the boss in NOLA could provide you with a bridge until you settle in there, I say take it. You will do good for them, even if the only good they do for you is a paycheck.

this. It'd give you a bridge to be in Nola, rent s place, then really look for something awesome.

All is well that ends in pizza.

If NOLA is what you would like to do, it doesn't hurt to try.

Maybe we need another NOLA F2F...

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Ugh, smonster's company, how so crappy? But I hope you stay solvent long enough to get her to where she so clearly belongs.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

smonster, damn. That sucks a lot, but it also sounds like you'll better off to be rid of them.

I just don't want to be employed by them when they go bankrupt, if that happens - would I be eligible for unemployment, then?

I can't say with certainty, but I'd expect so. No fault of your own and all. You might miss the last paycheck though. Still, it's a bridge, not a foundation.

I don't know the laws in every state, but you should be. You should be eligible for unemployment now, as long as you weren't fired for committing a crime or anything.

I am eligible for unemployment. Trying to file a claim right now, but the online shit is wonky, so I guess I'll have to do it over the phone. Need to eat lunch, first. Or rather find something to eat while I'm on hold.
