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

My agency posted an attorney job recently that failed to require a law degree. The announcement was canceled and reposted within a few days.

I don't even know. There's supposed to be a second, open, announcement, but there's nothing there.

That's pretty impressive: I thought only my agency was that good at screwing up.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Dear lord, Consuela. They do understand that's the kind of thing that makes people crack? I wouldn't blame you for running around the office screaming.

meara is not wrong.

Ugh. Sorry Consuela, that's really eff'd up.

hip deep in pie

Which means I can't apply for it. I'm not a current or former federal employee or a veteran.

Fucking fuck! I'm so sorry Consuela.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

before you became a comsultant you were not a federal employee?

I am so sorry.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That is fucking unbelievable, Suela!

I wonder if My Nemesis has any friends in the HR department...

The fact that your job makes you feel this way, like you are being plotted against, makes me so angry. AT this point I would love to see you just walk away from that place to be honest, I hate the way they treat you.

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

I'm on the juvenile side too. More power to you, Consuela, whether you pitch a fit, or smile down your nose at them.

I can't even imagine.

For those of you on Botox watch, I have at least most of the movement in my face still. Doc said the painkilling effects might take a couple weeks to kick in--not sure about the paralysis. Right now I have a headache that I think is from irritation by the actual injections, which I read is a thing.

Over my sister's weekend, I was talking (a lot) with one of her doctor best friends, with whom I'd never spent time alone before. She's determined to keep talking to me now which is--I'm glad my sister is not just cool with this shit, she would enforce it if she could. I was a substitute her in Montreal--when she went home for summers, the friends of hers that were still around would take me as a poor substitute until she came back. Which was fine.

She is still mad at me for being Colin's friend, though, since he was in her year at McGill, not mine. Whatevs.

Anyway, doctor friend is cool. She was very patient about my prostate ravings (No, not a bundle of nerves. Bundle of nerve adjacent, but it's a gland...) and she seems to think I read papers on procedures before doctors perform them on me, and I had no idea where she thought I was getting papers from. Turns out? emedicine.com. Requires signup, but it's free, and she vouches for it as a neutral and thorough source of information, so I'm trying it out now for upcoming proposed stuff. Thought maybe you people who like Dr. Google might want to check it out.

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

Okay, Buffistas I'd like to hear votes for the five greatest xkcd comics.

What's your top 5?
