Heat. I think I actually haven't tried that yet. How can that be? Okay, heating pad paired with my IBU tonight. Thanks.
Hope you're feeling better soon.

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.

Thrive to spite them
The interview went really well, so well, I got a little too enthusiastic and asked a couple of questions that are normally 2nd interview type things.
So now I'm trying not to obsess and think that I won't get the job. But the manager really liked me and I really liked him and he said they will be keeping a few people on as regular employees after the holidays and that the seasonal work will be kind of a "try out" to see which employees work best.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
askye, I'd think that asking second interview questions would be a sign that you're genuinely interested in the job. I hope it works out!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
What Anne said, askye.
More shenanigans with the 18 yo. I had to pull him aside and tell him that his attitude sucked in the middle of moving a bunch of flooring. He countered with me being condescending. I said, "Please don't tell me you're blaming me for your attitude." Anyway, whatever. The day actually got a lot better from there, but when I came home and told my roomie about the exchange, she replied that she felt that way about a lot of things. "I wouldn't be so mean if you weren't so stupid!" Which totally made me laugh, because that's how I feel about this kid. I mean, he was frustrated and didn't understand why I was insisting on sorting the lumber by size to load on the trailer. I'm sure my answer sounded condescending, but I mean WTF? What I wanted to say was, "So it won't go flying all over the road, you dumbass!!"
But the exciting thing about today? The Telltale Pipe is no more! I think my landlord may have gone behind the plumber's back and gotten someone else to fix it, but that's not my problem. All I care about is the blissful, blissful silence of no water running 24/7.
I took a shower and nap, and am now eating toasted baguette rounds with butter and garlic salt for dinner. And then I'll have ice cream, walk the dog, and go back to bed. Party people in the house...

We're in London! We went to the Tate Modern yesterday and also had dinner there overlooking the city. It was gorgeous! I'll probably only be popping in every once in a while because internet access is pricey.

Our wings are not tired.
Yay! Thanks for letting us know you arrived, sj. Enjoy!
smonster, I totally understand about the stupid. I have employees that are all out crazy, mightily eccentric, and even high maintenance emotional. But I won't and can't deal with the stupid. Can't deal with it.
