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.

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

In some places, that's an above-average wage

Hmm. LA? Nope. I don't even know...that's barely even helpful. Certainly hard for one person to survive on here.

Scrappy, you're sticking with HR? Did you do HR before your job there? I guess I could go look at linkedin, but that's a timesuck--other people are probably okay, but since I don't do FB, I use it to stitch life events together.

Like, why hasn't my old boss added a new job yet? Slack, or unemployed???

I got most of my errands done, and it seems like the data centre won't be able to do my tasks this weekend because I didn't fill out the paperwork when I wasn't sure if we were going to pull the trigger. She also yells at me when I cancel change requests, so there's a middle ground I just don't get here.

But sometimes you work with people with whom your entire issue is that you communicate poorly. I don't dislike her, but when I think I've said something, it turns out I haven't really. And she gets irritated at things that are my job because I can't for some reason, explain that I got told to, so I do...

Scandal watchers--how do you see this going two seasons? Five? It's one of those shows where I'm unsure about the longer range general plans they must have pitched to get a pickup. Am curious. It feels like all the irons are in the fire right now, and they don't really have much option to extend a tense status quo, or even change to another one this fertile.

However, there are many good reasons I don't write for TV.

Damn, when will I learn that if it says spicy on the menu, it's spicier than I want? I keep thinking I'm tough stuff, but my stomach is a delicate flower.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesus, Consuela. That's really terrible. Changing the job description during the process seems like something there ought to be a federal rule against? Because seriously.

msbelle, I'm glad you didn't get fired, but sorry it is so fraught there.

Jobs, man. WTF.

I have made it through the week, but my boss told me to be on email over the weekend, so that's awesome.

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

Sophia - semi personal stuff he has me doing - the MOST important thing to him right now. it's a continuing education thing.

In some places, that's an above-average wage. Sadly. I couldn't live on that anymore. But my BFF lives on less.

That's below minimum wage in my state, and only a dollar above it in California.

National minimum wage is $7.25, so if that's above-average in places, something needs to change, drastically.

Consuela, Scrappy, msbelle: argh.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Consuela, I'm sorry the asshats at your work keep jerking you around like that.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I make $9/hr right now. It's better than having negative income like I did last year.

Because books.

I must be on hormone overload or something. That totally made me cry.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh, Clydesdales. Pretty horses. Sweet commercial.

Me too, Amy. Budweiser making me all weepy, what a world.
