Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

I am never getting any other breed of dog. She's awesome.

I know, right?!?!?! We went to the pet store a couple of weekends ago and saw some up for adoption. So hard to walk away without filling out an application.

Crappy day for me today, tho. Got laid off... now I gotta try and find a new job ASAP in this crappy economy when no one wants to hire admins... sucks!

Oh, Dawn, I am so sorry.

They're were doing all sorts of geographical mapping to Europe and grudgingly admitting that an Austrian was at least close.

I believe Howard said that Cimmerians were descended from the survivors of Atlantis. So good luck to the fans with that geographical mapping there.

Conan books fans are odd.

But at least they're not Gor fans.

There is that. Red Sonja would kick their asses if they tried to be.

Thanks, flea! At least it was location related (office moving), and not performance related.

Congrats on the job offer for the DH. I wish you smooth transitioning and a quick, good offer on the house!

I totally hear yu on the admin thing. At my university the trend seems to be hiring someone at the Secretary III level (which is possibly $10/hr-- it was $7 when I was a sec III 10 years ago) to do the higher level admin tasks. And those are being taken by recent graduates.

Crap, Dawn.

Are they upset that a Cimmerian didn't get the role?

Exactly what I thought. Trying to map REH to the real world will only give you a headache.

I'm sorry, Dawn.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, sorry, Dawn. Good luck with the next thing!
