She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

Oh man. consuela, the people at that job suck.

Thanks for all the birthday greetings on behalf of the twins.

consuela, the people at that job suck.

I've decided that this isn't about me. It's about the fact that they decided the job was completely different than what I've been doing, and thus there was no reason to hire me for it. That's basically what my current boss said.

But, yeah, they suck.

For sure. And that kind of thing does happen - if they decided they needed a new direction/new role, okay. You can't do anything about that. It's the way they've strung you along and not been upfront about that fact that is so infuriating.

Orally likes to start stuff. I'm not sure what we really know about what he really thinks. But that's ok. I'll pass.

Yes, Brenda. That. And all the extra interviews and broken promises.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The company I interviewed with last week said they'd let me know "early" this week. Nothing yet. Arrgh. I really felt like I HAD this one.

Hang tight, Scrappy. Anyone who has the chance to interview you should really be sensible enough to want to hire you, unless they're as fubar as my employers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw, Scrappy, you know people take longer than they say!

In better news, the Good Stuff tumblr should hit 2500 followers today, thanks to a post from Amy.

Our wings are not tired.

Yay birthdays and awesome houses!

Boo crappy workplaces and rotten professors.

My overall impression of Billo is that he is entirely full of shit, and his moral and political stances are based 100% on what he thinks are good for ratings and attention.

DH#1 was like this. He was an awesome talk show host and adored a good debate. He was frank with his audience and told them that they would never really know for sure what he believed. He would be delighted to take the other side of whatever you wanted to debate. I could barely stand to listen to him because he was so confrontational.
