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!
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

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.
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.

Hey. New board.
I would like to make a delicious fall suggestion for you all. Last night I made a pumpkin pie (testing out recipes for Thanksgiving and, also, loving pumpkin pie) and had some extra filling that didn't fit in my crust. So I baked it alone in a crock, yum. This morning, for breakfast? Toast with cooked pumpkin pie filling spread on it like jelly. Utterly delicious.

Hey. New board.
Cereal to say that if you mix some of the cooked pumpkin pie filling with milk (about 2 tablespoons per serving), a little extra sugar, and a teensy bit of vanilla extract and heat it on the stove, you can mix it with strong coffee to make a pumpkin spice latte at least as good as Starbucks'. Yum.
