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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Askye, I'm sorry. I hope something else comes along soon.

smonster, that's just ridiculous. I hope the curtain helps, but I'm with others who say move into the one bedroom and get away from the roommate and the landlord. I did not exercise today, but I'm trying to convince myself to do some exercise at home when mom leaves.

Thrive to spite them

I did mention I was job hunting last night at the knitting club and maybe someone will hear of a job and pass it along.

One of the women works at a real estate agency and told me they are looking for "younger people" and I had I thought about a career in real estate.

But I don't know if I want to invest the time it takes and it's doesn't feel like the best time to try real estate as a career. However, I am going to stop by her office next week and talk to her and get some more information, at least to just make a connection.

Argh, askye, that's freaking annoying.

I'd still call back once a week, no more, keep your name in the person's mind.

"Hello, Ms/Mr Name this is askye at 123-456-7899. I'm calling to check in on available receptionist or administrative assistant work. I'm still looking for a FT position, but I'm eager to get back to work. Please call me if you see anything that would match my qualifications. Thank you so much, NAME, and I appreciate all you're doing for me. I hope you have a good week."

Also, Vortex, that was awesome!

Ok, I got sleep meds last night, but stayed up a little too late working on a resume, but I still woke up earlier than the past insomnia week! At, um, 12:30. Going to bed earlier tonight FOR SURE.

I am be-coffee'd, dressed, flea-work done (except for MORe laundry in machine), walked the dog and am hieing off in 10 minutes for more resume work. As soon as I eat some cereal.

Yeah I need to start calling the other temp agencies. I just got tired of calling and hearing there were no jobs.

If I weren't such in a good place emotionally I'd start taking this personally and thinking I'd managed to piss off every employer in Vermont just by moving here.

Our wings are not tired.

askye, I think it's a good idea to go meet with her. One of my best friends is a top SF realtor and she's always needing help in the office with administrative stuff and she pays pretty well. So maybe if you don't want to be a realtor, you can work part time in the office?

{{smonster}} So sorry. What Toddson and the other Buffistas said, times ten.

askye, sorry, and good luck. I hope something comes up soon.

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

askye, do you have 60 college credits? Have you thought about subbing?

And...my cereal is et, and clothes are in the wash. Back to work, Bitches!

Art Crawl!!!

smonster - so sorry about your roommate. I don't see how eating at your table could possibly be construed as "lingering" in the kitchen/dining area.

Why should you have to put up a curtain? If it bothers her, I think she should do it. It's her space, no?
