Thanks for the good advice, all. I'm going to give it a few more days, just to see if we can work on things, but if it doesn't I'll let her go, rather than letting it stress me out beyond that. As The Girl reminded me on the phone today, this is exactly why I have a probationary period in my contracts.

[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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Y'all, thanks for the ~ma last night when I wasn't hanging around to get it. Many tears in my eyes because y'all have my back.
(Still no cunning plan to take over the world and/or get paid to surf and fence and garden.)

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.

Wise clause for those contracts. I'm glad you've got The Girl on your side, too.

The Girl is wise.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
The Girl is wise indeed.
36 hours later, and it's starting to hit me: my God, I do have a very cool job! (now, if only these ex-professors were more efficient... I need some data to work with! Data I cannot have until they'll reply my emails!). No complains, though, but they will have to get used to me and my tendency to work with fixed deadlines.
Ah, the irony!

Yay, Shir! Good luck getting those e-mail responses.

Yay, Shir of the cool job!
The Girl is wise.
She wears fluorescent green sweatshirts, eats cold pizza, chooses to live in an environment that would be better suited to a barn animal, and is a dog person. Not sure 'wise' is quite right. (But she is lovely.)

t laughs helplessly at the combination of the words "professors" and "efficient"

Except for the fluorescent green, she sounds wise to me.

It's supposedly 65 degrees outside, but I am COLD today, and tempted to turn on my heat....hrm...

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Would a Petco or Petsmart carry the Cat Attract litter? I switched litter brands recently (got tired of dealing with how much the old brand tracked), and things have not been going well despite trying to transition the cat gradually.
