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.

Not at the moment - if you didn't already have it before the current economic situation, you could only get it as a temp or contractor now.

HAHAHAHAHA oh shit. I mean, I already knew that, but damn. Any time I start thinking about my job and how much I (don't) get paid, I end up in a total rage spiral about the economy and the 1% and the fucked state of healthcare and especially mental health and the culture of fear and 2nd Amendment bullshit...

BTW, rage does nothing to improve a panic attack, in case you were wondering.

Also, I approve heartily of literal gold stars.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Yeah, I'm going into one of the few industries where I could, in fact, get a good, actual job (healthcare), but, even there, it's total bullshit. And I know it's much worse elsewhere in the economy. There are many times when I want to go demand an increase in the minimum wage and that the IRS/Dept of Labor/Whoever crack down on the temp/contract bullshit.

Our wings are not tired

I sometimes have a hard time believing that I've been working for myself for over a decade now.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Right now I just want to say FUCKIT and get some kind of boring, easy corporate job that pays 40k and offers healthcare. Those exist, right?

They do exist, but they are not as plentiful as they once were. We just hired someone fresh out of college in my department in December, so it does happen. I think it depends on the field and all of that as well. Also, I know that some temp jobs offer benefits (my current company goes through an agency that has benefits - I started off that way almost 13 years ago[!!!]).

The status is NOT quo.

Gris, I'm so sorry for your losses.

Hey. New board.

Thanks, y'all. I appreciate it.

Where is everyone? Hello? Is this thing on?

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

Hi there.

I have a funny story.

They're making me manager at work. Not my dream job but I guess I should be happy, it is more money. That's not the funny story.

My boss was going over the 'customer satisfaction survey' results for the past few months..

Boss: So we're at 68% overall satisfaction

Me: That's bad

Boss: Well we were at 62% for the previous period so we're up 10%!

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

Congrats and heh heh on the Boss' math, Laga!
