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.

JESUS GOD. PB just asked why.

Oh, I know. I had a guy that I fired list me as a reference. Part of the issue was his maturity, and it was several years later. Luckily, it was an old email address that I just happened to check. There was an auto message saying I didn't work there and to email a different address. I didn't get anything to the new address, so I just left it alone, because he was a good kid, but I couldn't recommend him based on what I knew.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Debet, I think I skimmed over it before, so yay for the good news.

I just realized that, for the first time this semester, I don't need to go into the office early in the morning. All my classes are in the afternoon, but every day so far, I've had to get in pretty early to prep things or grade things or work on paperwork things or something. But tomorrow, I've got only about half an hour worth of work that I need to do before my classes. I can go to the drugstore and get my car washed and go to the drycleaners and all the other errands that I've been putting off because I've had no time!

Also, I seem to be building up a collection of lunch containers. The latest is a Ms. Bento [link] which I'm going to fill with leftover Thai tofu, green beans, and rice for tomorrow.

Yay, Debet! And yay, sans posting issues, Sean!

Smonster, how is drama llama even still there? I hope she finds another place to bless with her special presence soon.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Wow, smonster, that's just mind-boggling. How can someone be like that?

What Zenkitty said. That is ridiculous work behavior. Is she 12?

Thanks, everyone for listening to me bitch today. I'm going to try to let this go and get some sleep.

Fuck, utilities in CT are expensive. I paid a $60+ electric bill and I just got my gas bill and it was over $100. What. the. fuck. When I lived in DC, I used to turn down the thermostat when I left the house. I haven't done that here, and I had no idea how much difference it made.

Also, is 80 cubic feet of gas a lot to use in a month? I've never lived in a place with gas heat that I paid for.

I don't know about the volume, but I know in Mass we'd get gas bills in the winter for $150-200 easy. Y'all have been having a mild winter, right?

My gas company does a budget billing thing, where I pay the same amount through the year. I don't get the benefit of a single-digit gas bill in the summer, but I'm not hit with triple digits in the winter, either.

smonster, I don't even understand that person.

Congratulations, Sean! That's exciting! Speaking of writing, did you get my e-mail?

Kinda depends on how big your place is. Last year's average for us was about 120ish cubic feet of gas per month (we are on the budget plan that averages out the payments throughout the year). This "budget" year, with the mild winter, it is running at about 90 per month. Old house, stoutly built, but windows are not young and far from energy efficient (then again the new furnace IS so that helps), two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, four rooms on the main floor, basement only partially finished but it is heated - just to give you an idea.
