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.)
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yay Drew!
Sorry about the job Stephanie, that would have been pretty nice if it had worked out.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Hee.
We once had a rediculously contentious multi-party, multi-nation case where the one other local counsel refused service of a notice of deposition because it hadn't come, per Hague Conventions requirements, with funds to cover transportation.
We looked up the fees to cover fifteen blocks of travel, wrote a veddy veddy wordy and formal letter of apology, taped two subway tokens to it, and sent the bitch back.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
The "off" part is just as important as the "on" part.
It really is. Electrician came right by and fixed it, though, which was good. I am now equipped to sit in the dark.
I hope they come back to you with a good offer, smonster.
Yay for home-going, ND!
