Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Amy, that's... Um. Isn't that false advertising? Bait and switch?
I get the feeling no one cares because so many of our clients are scum. So.
I'm sorry to complain. Today was just a really bad day, and I'm terrified to ever say anything at work, because people get fired left and right (at least in the sales department). And the truth is, I need this job a lot. At least until I can find something else.
Amy,
no, I can understand why you are uncomfortable and terrified. I have been musing what I would do in your situation and I can't come up with a cogent response that I thought would be helpful to you.
You're in a bad situation with no easy way out, Amy, you are allowed to complain.
With Stephen laid off, I don't have a choice. And I hate that.
Anyway. Wine! Maybe I should have some wine. Or try to write a new book proposal.
Wine. WINE IS GOOD FOR YOU.
So in other news the job I put in for in Portland wants to talk to me. Hmmm. I mean, yay they want to talk to me, but I really just submitted for it as a lark.
Yay!surely worth a shot at least!
5:30AM is way too damn early to be calling. Unless you are texting the girl I'm dating. Because she works at Starbucks, and starts work at 430AM most days. She's nuts (but it was nice to have someone to chat it's when I'm on east coast or central time!)
Steph, a child is on fire! You have NO TIME for the serial comma!
Hahahah!
Amy, that sounds seriously shitty. And shady.
Amy, that's a rotten sitch to be in. May you soon find something better so you can get yourself out from under their rock.
Trudy, how awful. Best wishes for all of you.
Is Strix usually in Natter? This is for her, and billytea, and everyone who likes gorgeous pouncing predators:
Barn Owl Attacking Its Prey In Slow Motion. Watch the whole thing, for two views of the gorgeous owl descending, and at the end, bonus shot of the owl eating her prey whole! Okay, some of you might want to avoid that last bit.
erika, I am so sorry you joined my rotten club-of-the-week. My neighbor lost her pug yesterday, too. Bad week for beloved pets.
Trudy, I hope for the best outcome and easy dealings for you.
Amy, that's a shit sandwich. Sorry.
This woman receives street abuse because she is fat. She decided to take pictures of the people's reactions to her. "Wait Watchers"
This is a cool owl picture: [link]
