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.
This must be what going mad feels like.

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.
