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.

Shit, Stephanie that sucks. You really need something.

Update - hiring dude acknowledged my message and said he'd get back to me with answers. Not sure when, I'm hoping by COB today. Have told boss that I'd like a few minutes with her, but our schedules may not mesh until tomorrow.

Happy birthday! No reason to panic--are they really likely to discuss and come back and say "well in that case we take it back and don't want you even at the original salary!"

Trust my rage

Thanks, everyone. I always feel so lucky to have you guys.

I think in my case, the issue is that I don't want to work in Denver long term. It's 70 miles from my house and I'm now doing that every day. So I have to figure out if I stay here a whlie to gain money and experience or if I leave now. Profesionally, it's a bit early, I think, but with Joe deploying, we will have more financial stability/cushion than we will in the future.

I now have pretty good contacts where I live. I guess it's just a matter of parlaying that into business. (Did I use that word correctly? I can hear it in my head but it looks weird.)

Barb, in terms of wording, I wonder if your lawyer can work in a reference to Arkell v. Pressdram (1971). (Worth clicking the link if you don't already know the story.)

I'm sorry about the job, Stephanie. Maybe that Joe is deploying could be a good excuse to bail now.

edit: meant to add, I could have sworn you had a Nook, Erin. bummer. Well, the offer to share is open to anyone who gets one.

Our wings are not tired.

Tough decision, Stephanie. The commute and the overall situation sounds brutal. If you can manage it, a new plan might be the best idea.

Yay Drew!

Sorry about the job news, Stephanie. May something better come along right now.

Deena!

... other than that, I've got nothing. Today is apparently a bad brain chemistry day.

Yay Drew!

Sorry about the job Stephanie, that would have been pretty nice if it had worked out.
