I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Like he didn't want to do it or something?

... I want to say he has substance abuse problems, which is why he hasn't been a regular on anything since Homicide. Which makes Doyle's casting extra-ironic.

But I couldn't cite a source for that, and I probably heard it here.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Rumors are fine; I'm just giving context to Bob Bob.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That's also what I remember hearing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What's sensible--if a random headhunter reaches out to link with me via LinkedIn, is it protocol to accept their invite even if I'm perfectly happy where I am? I'd accept a headhunter I'd worked with before, or think harder about one from a company I'd worked strongly with before, but he's a complete stranger.

I won't lie--I've admitted myself into the hospital without telling my parents. But my headaches are perfectly routine, fuck it all. It just depresses them remembering that.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Consuela's memory is mine. There also might've been some legal issues, though maybe I'm mixing him up with Michael Rappaport.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Wikipedia says of Max:

Former Homicide co-star Clark Johnson tells of how Perlich was a "wacky" guy, and was involved in a gun-related incident in front of his home in Baltimore over a parking spot.[7]

ita, I think it depends on how much recruiters are crazy in your industry and how much they would bug you? If you've got several you already know, that may be plenty. Also depends on how you do your linked in.

I am not connected to any recruiters, but my industry is pretty crazy with them, so I am all the time getting voicemails and emails and linked in requests and "in mails" or whatever linked in calls them...so if I decided I wanted to reach out, it's very easy.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I've only been contacted by a head hunter once and that was back when I was doing something much less specialized. I'm happy with my company but sometimes I have dreams of moving to a new company and making more money.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I get emails from head hunters all the time, but it's pretty automated. All the ones that call I've put off.

I think I'm gonna just sit on the invite. No rush. I'm sure he has a million links. He'll never notice not having me.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Maintenance guy at my old place used to come in all the time, without notifying me. Like once a month, seriously, to change a filter or inspect something. I knew he'd been there by the dirty footprints on the kitchen floor. I hated it.

My last Jonesboro apartment before the move to Memphis they wouldn't give me advance notice of needing in my apartment, and the maintenance guy would wait about 30 seconds after knocking before unlocking my door and letting himself in. Also, the timing was always early enough in the morning that I was sleeping or showering. I was not a happy camper.
