Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?  

[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.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Her walkers, depending on how motivated they are, can make up to $60 per hour...A pack of 4 dogs at $15 for a half hour walk.

I am sorry, but there is no way in hell that that is acceptable. I understand that there is skill involved in managing and walking a pack of dogs, but PR work requires more refined skills. You're not just being asked to execute a PR strategy; you're being asked to envision, create, AND execute an entire campaign.

Compassionately intolerant

Plus, I would be expending my own political capital and contacts (which are greater than even I imagined before I started thinking about it) to implement the PR campaign for this product launch.

Maria, I hope you are not joking because you HAVE to know that this town is the epicenter of need for that particular business.

I know, but I have absolutely no idea on how I would get MYSELF started down that path. Ironic, I know.

Also - StW is writing up an example case for a class he's teaching, and totally used me as the model for the patient - age, occupation, cat owner. He showed it to me and I was like, "Is this the doctor equivalent of writing me into a song?" He laughed and said, "Yeah, maybe."

OMG, this is better than fic! I am tickled to death by your new relationship.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

FOR SOMEONE ELSE.

At this point, I don't care what her intent is. She's still taking horrible advantage of you.

This. Bonny, you are *aces* at helping people develop and defend boundaries; now you need to do that here, for your own good.

She can be resistant while you're off doing other things for more money.

Like dog walking. You'd think she'd grasp that what she's asking you to do is more important to the company than what the interchangeable dog walkers do.

Fucking word. How would you counsel a friend in this sitch?

Amen and hallelujah. ::gospel hand::

I am tickled to death by your new relationship.

Maria, isn't that too funny? We have very different personalities, so I'm learning how he expresses affection. He's not as frequently verbal about it as I am, but clearly he has ways.

I love it. It's just so... perfect.

(Yes, I'm sure he has faults, but I am a sucker for the beginning of a relationship.)
