Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Aw, thanks, omnis! I'm smiling right now AIFG.

The posting got revised AGAIN. Here it is - [link].
Er... just the fact that the posting keeps getting revised makes me think that these folks don't have it together- and the fact that they want up to 16 hours of your day, six days a week, no flexibility and not a lot of pay... that's not cool. I think that you have been hanging out with Mr. Crazy Doctor Hours too long to even be considering this job!
I would imagine no one lasts longer than a couple of months, because I don't think that people can work like that for longer without physical/mental repercussions.
So, it might be a good source of income on a temporary basis till something more... normal comes down the pike?

omnis,
thank you!
I also need to keep my emotions in check. I'm usually half-Vulcan so this is a new one.

Interview ~ma to you, le nubian. I am, however, having trouble with the idea that anyone could not be impressed with you.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
oh thank you. I'm going through waves of self-doubt bullshit. my mentor is like "you need to be excited about this" and I'm like: how do I really know they like me? they say they like me, but I'm stunned they like me?
are they trying to fool me? am I lunch?

They like you. They really like you.
Seriously, if your mentor knows you well and says you should be excited, they are interested in you. If they're looking for someone who's smart, thoughtful and articulate, you're a shoo-in.
(Because I'm obsessive, I had to check my spelling of shoo-in, which I had spelled shoe. Apparently it comes from horse-racing slang for the winner of a fixed race.)

Just remember, the lurkers support you in email. :)
Good luck!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Zenkitty, I'm in an oddly good mood, too.
le n, best of luck! You are gonna rock it.
just the fact that the posting keeps getting revised makes me think that these folks don't have it together-
It was making me think that they kept getting crappy applicants, like how I tweak my dating profile after each breakup.
and the fact that they want up to 16 hours of your day, six days a week, no flexibility and not a lot of pay... that's not cool.
Well, I'd be making more than I ever have, mostly due to long hours.
I think that you have been hanging out with Mr. Crazy Doctor Hours too long to even be considering this job!
Heh.
I may apply, just so I can put it on my unemployment job log. But yeah, I think I'm too old for that shit.

smonster, I'd be surprised if they weren't breaking state law by saying they required 16 hours per day. I'm pretty sure in Wisconsin, they can't make you work more than 12 and that's 4 hours of overtime on an 8 hour day. I know WI employers can get in trouble for letting their workers work more than 12. Overtime is a choice, and even then, there are legal limits. I'm not sure if LA has the same kind or worker protections in place, though.
