Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Dandies makes bags of vegan marshmallows, and Sweet & Sara makes marshmallow-based things like mallomars and snowballs.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Okay, I've gotten basic healthcare info and more answers, pretty much all of them negative. I think I'm going to be spending most of my evening reviewing this stuff. But if I'm going to start anywhere near when they want me to, I need to give notice today.

I seriously feel like I'm going to barf.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

ugh smonster, deep breaths. I'm trying to think of the best way you could ask new job to start a little later so that you can wrap things up old job.

Our wings are not tired.

Smonster, if you're already getting bad feelings about the new place, you don't need to go. Let yourself have some time to decide; don't feel pressure to take it just because it's been offered.

ion, watching Eddie Izzard with the subtitles on is a whole new level of quirky and weird. I bet that was a fun job for that subtitler.

ioon my mom found a little dragon/dinosaur/godzilla looking baby toy that you press it's tummy and it goes, "Rawr!" I want it so bad but of couse she's giving it to my niece. Ageism!

Problem is that the classroom portion starts 10/4 and the onsite work starts 10/11, and I'm supposed to be supervising once we get onsite.

Smonster, if you're already getting bad feelings about the new place, you don't need to go. Let yourself have some time to decide; don't feel pressure to take it just because it's been offered.

I think I need some help talking this through. It's a leap of faith and a cut in pay and benefits (hello $1500 health insurance deductible) but it's the closest thing by far to what I've been able to discern that I want to do. Shorter - I'm scared to leave my state job, even though it may not be as stable as such jobs generally are.

Okay, tell us what you love about the organization and what about it feels right to you. Not the job itself, which I know you will like, but about the organization. Could be we've only been hearing the anxiety here and not the excitement. Lay it out for us, babe, if you can.

Have you played, "what's the best/worst thing that can happen?"

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Sending all my love and best "be at peace with whatever you decide" vibes to smonster.
