Argh. I have an interview tomorrow, and because I have gotten extremely fat in the past year and a half, not a single one of my suit bottoms fit me. So I have to go buy a suit, in a size I am guaranteed to not like, that I will likely not wear again anytime soon. And since I have to do it tonight, chances are it'll be like, $300. Argh.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Any advice on the table? I can think of a few options, but I don't really like any of them.

I just pinged a friend of mine who works at cheezburger.com about submitting my resume for a writer/reporter/moderator gig they've got open. Let's hope this leads somewhere, because I am tired of this unemployment thing.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, Hil, I'm too timid about it, I would probably just let it go with the landlord and try to figure something else out. If you disassembled it, could you move the parts upstairs yourself and reassemble?

Nope, the only parts that come off are the legs, and even with them off, the top is too heavy for me to get upstairs. And also, I now need to bring the other table downstairs, and that one doesn't disassemble at all -- it's an antique.

Hil, I'd probably try to find some friends to help me move the tables at this point, unless the landlord has people in for stuff fairly often. If so, a friendly "Hey, thanks for sending help for my table... they actually moved the wrong one! Any chance I could get some help again the next time you have people in?" But I'd probably just enlist some help from friends.
Fingers crossed, Jilli.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Or pay a couple of your students, unless that's an ethical violation of some kind.
God, Puppy Boy is so exhausting to deal with. And occasionally dangerous.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hil, don't you just know the landlord, or someone, ignored the careful description you gave and said, "she wants us to move the table" and they grabbed the first thing that looked like a table. Voila, job done. I can't recall the number of times I've given careful instructions to workmen (or colleagues) only to have them ignored and the job fubared. I'd go back to the landlord again. Especially if you paid them to do it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Since you didn't pay and it was done as a favor, I think you just need to hire a kid for $10 or $15 to move it for you when you are there, Hil.
