Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

[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.

Jilli, did you get my e-mails regarding the corset information, including the link to the corset style?

I did! I just haven't had a chance to reply yet. Let me go do budget math, and I'll reply. t insert smiley emoticon here, even tho' we don't do such things around here

Oh, and I may be hiding out in here for a bit. There is some HUGE drama going down between a friend of mine and another friend that I used to be really close to, but have since drifted apart from. It's turning really, really ugly, and I am trying to avoid being caught in the middle.

No worries. Take your time. I just get paranoid about e-mails every once in a while. Sorry about the friend drama.

I went shopping for boots today. No luck at all. I don't know why I expect this to be different every year.

Oh, isn't that rush the best while it lasts? I got so much freaking cleaning done when I was on prednisone!

Thrive to spite them

I got the gig. I wasn't dressed up but I was the most dressed up person there. The woman who interviewed me was in jeans, a t shirt, and sneakers.

The gig is also a little different than the temp agency thought. I will be there tomorrow and Thursday 12-5 and then Friday, Monday, Tuesday 8-5. But they aren't sure how much they'll need me after that the woman I interviewed with said it may be "on call". But this is the first temp they've ever hired so maybe I'll make myself useful. The only reason they need one now is their receptionist is on vacation and her boss is going on a business trip so they brought me in.

But the receptionist is going on maternity leave at some point so they may need me then.

It looks like a really good place to work so I'm glad to at least temp there and get in the door.

They have a "wellness" staff that's just there for the wellness of the employees. They have a gym. With an indoor tennis court. And regular fitness classes throughout the day. Plus a New Mother's Room, Bike Closet, Coat Closet.

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

askye, that place sounds awesome! Good luck with the gig.

Whoot, askye! Here's to hoping they decide to keep you around long term.

askye, YAY!!! I'm so pleased, and I hope you love it AND it turns into a long-term gig!

Jilli, insent! Whee!

Ugh, friend drama. I hope it works itself out positively soon.
