I have no idea what anyone said since the egg topic started.
I had to stop reading because all those eggs were putting me off the idea of lunch. You know what sounds good about cheddar olives? They aren't eggs.
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
But I won't have to deal with developers. Which I'm taking as official endorsement to avoid the incompetent one.
I'd say that's clearly the intent.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
So, I was told today that the company wants to move forward with hiring me as a Business Analyst. I still need to finish out my however many hours as a temp that Office Team requires for conversion-to-permanent-witout-penalty, my manager thought that'll happen June 5th, and then HR can start running the background check and apparently there's some kind of blood work involved (I assume it's a drug test and not, like, magic, but we shall see) and that all usually takes a week or so, and then I will be a permanent employee! For the first time in my life, salaried even, I believe.
And then I will almost immediately go on vacation, but I told her the dates (and I am taking the whole week) and she said it's fine although there's a good chance it will be unpaid time off, which is what I was expecting.
And somewhere in there I will find out about compensation and benefits because, yeah, I never asked about any of that.
This has been a really weird six months, employment-wise.

Thanks! I don't think I've really taken it in properly.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
what are folks doing this weekend?
Fencing, beer, farmers' market, socializing with lady programmers, messing with computers, work.
A lot like the week, only with socializing.
