smonster, your roommate needs a reality check, preferably drawn on her entitlement fund. She might be going through a tough time, but that doesn't make it okay for her to tell you you can't eat in your own kitchen. If the presence of another human bothers her, she needs to find a place where she can live alone.
Well, lady, I must say-- You're my kinda stupid.

[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.

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

Ding ding ding!
I'm sorry about the anxiety attack, smonster. Here, let me distract you: I had a dream the other night that you, me, and Juliana were getting all fancied up to go out for the evening, and Cass was supposed to show up at any moment. It was a pretty nice dream.

Our wings are not tired.
Seriously! Being an introvert is no excuse for being a bitch. Sorry this is causing you anxiety rather than anger. She sounds like someone who hasn't been told "no" enough.
This!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Aw.
I'm going to stop and buy a tension rod and curtains on the way home.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
That sounds good, smonster (although IMHO, *SHE* has the problem, so she should be buying it).
If you were standing in her door, staring at her while you were chomping cereal, that's one thing.
But this? She needs to see a pysch and, I dunno, get the fuck over it.

smonster, that is not reasonable. The kitchen is a common area, and she knew when she moved in that there was no door.
If you don't want to be confrontational about it, you can just put up a curtain and not say anything else. That's a a clear signal of compromise, and you just keep using your kitchen FOR THE PURPOSE WHICH IT WAS INTENDED.

The only time it would be reasonable to ask someone to not "linger" in a common area of a shared house/apartment is if someone's only sleeping area is in that common area (i.e., you have one roommate too many and the extra one is sleeping in the living room).
And, my fellow Americans, may I say how thrilled I am to now have more votes than the Republican frontrunner.

Always Anti-fascist!
I read "linger" as 'finger" Needless to say, it gave me a different view of the whole thing.

Thrive to spite them
Found out Spherion is checking my references so that it is a plus. Hopefully this will lead to something.
And then I just heard from Spherion and themselves and it was "we don't have anything. We'll be in touch if we have anything in the future."
Which feels like "don't call us, we'll call you"

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Or if they're spending a TON of time in the only bathroom and I gotta pee.
