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.
Nice acronym, Mom!

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.

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

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!

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.
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.

Our wings are not tired.
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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
javachick is wise.

The organization moves donated homes that were slated for demolition and rehabs them for sale at cost to low-income families. It also provides green building job training to the chronically unemployed/those reentering society. So it hits reuse, green building, housing equality, and social justice issues.

Best/worst - best is that I LOVE IT and am able to move down to NOLA. Worst is that I go deeper into debt and the org goes under in less than a year.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I like making pro and con lists. Having everything detailed on paper makes it more concrete to me and easier to decide.
