Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

No shit, Sail. Nora, I hope your Crxy Tenant stress is over in like, a day.

Send the next check certified, if you have to send a second one. Stupid beeyotch. (NOT YOU!!!)

Word and WORD.

Happy Birthday, O Empress my Empress!!

And I have posted the ugly sofa bed on CL for free. Hopefully, someone comes and takes it away soonly!

If CL doesn't work, try Freecycle!

SO. Y'all. I am a cyborg sent from the future to have this job. And I think I just might have convinced the interviewer of that. Really, I am generally cautious about such things out of superstition, but I ACED THE FUCK OUTTA THAT SHIT. It was just awesome people talking about awesome things. I was a little worried about the decon assessment, but I rocked that, too. He was a little worried that I was hoping for an office job (this is mostly field work) and I was like "oh honey no." Everything he brought up, I had a story of how I'd resolved a similar situation.

I'm through to the second round, I know. I have to send in salary requirements (bleccch, he wouldn't even give me a hint) so I need to crunch numbers today. The 2nd interview with his boss should happen sometime this week. They want the position to start ASAP.

I really, truly, honestly don't know how I could have interviewed any better. That is a new experience for me.

As for my roommate, they like her and want to hire her, but her availability may not match up with what they need.

StW has 3 hrs to go on his boards!! Thanks for all the ~ma, I love knowing the good energy is out there in the universe for me and my peeps.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Go smonster!!

Try not to kill random people with the same name.

Yay interview! I hate salary requirements. It's like "Guess a number between 1 and 10." "Five." "No, that's not it."

Take what you were making at your old job (or what you should have been making) and round it up another $3-5K, depending on if there's an increased scope of work at this place. I don't know if this is the best advice, but it's pretty much what I do. I might be underselling myself though.

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

Cyborg!smonster, that's so exciting! Damn, girl. You are a Competent Professional(tm) tempting potential employers with your desirable skillz.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

you rock, smonster. Another option is to come back with a salary range.
