That's great news, Jen! Go Jen's mom!

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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Woo. So the contractor is working on his house (two blocks away) and wants me to come check out what they're doing. Can I get some good interview~ma real quick?
Also: dear body, I get it, smoking cigarettes at night means I wake up in the wee smalls with anxiety. dear subconscious, thanks for the random dream where I'm a rookie cop dating Seely Booth.

sj's got the good stuff! Interview thingy went great and I'm going to work a half day tomorrow before my parents get in, then start again after they leave. Pay is total crap, but I'm basically getting paid to get trained and it has the potential to go up pretty quickly. Plus, they work 4 10-hr days, so I could potentially pick up another job on the weekend. I'll be learning to do window restoration and weatherizing - and man, one thing this town has is a shitton of old windows.

smonster, that's great! Sorry about the crappy pay, but I hope you love it and they love you and decide to pay you more quickly.

You can start a collection of vintage sash weights!

I'm glad you got the job, smonster, and that they're willing to work around your parents' visit.

A collection of vintage sash weights would be... heavy. And cylindrical. Good for stubbing toes and bashing in intruders' heads, not much else. "Now, *this* is a 12-pound 1898 weight from a 6-over-6 cypress window in Treme... I have it on *good authority* that Jelly Roll Morton once had sex with a prostitute up against this very window, but of course I can't actually *prove* it."

Ahahahaha. Though the last part is implied (as with every tall tale told here) and never said out loud.
