Yay Cosmo! No outside adventuring again, ok?
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yay, Cosmo!

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

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
WS, we once had a guy - officially in charge of HR policies - who would go in and change the files that outlined policy ... but not ever tell anyone until they ran up against one of his revised policies. He'd say that the files were there for anyone to read ... thankfully, he's not here any more.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Sounds like they're handling this badly.
Thankfully it is just the one supervisor. The wacky thing is, if I went to her supervisor about the lack of communication, for all the regional director is a very empathetic woman whom I adore working for, I'd still get "Company policy is ... but company policy is... " rather than a resolution of the real problem. Of course, with the regional director I could say, "Did I not find my own replacements at the other two houses with no problems when I was out with my back injury? OK, so now we know I know both to do it and how to do it. Yet there is a problem with that house. Pretty sure it isn't me. I'm not the one who acts like my behavior is bizarre when I go asking people to pick up shifts which aren't listed on the sign-up sheet. And I can totally see that, from my coworkers' perspective - deviating from the accepted pattern of behavior looks shifty. Especially when out of one side of their mouths the bosses are preaching "no overtime, no overtime" and out of the other side of their mouths it's "overtime for everyone cuz we can't find anyone to hire." So the sign-up sheet for open shifts gets posted by the supervisor and approved. But if my requests don't go on the sign-up sheet, how can anyone know they're approved to work overtime for me? They think I'm doing something wrong.

In addition to the awesome Cosmo news, the kitty I picked up last night, thinking it was Cosmo turned out to indeed have a microchip and CosmoNot (who is really Bella) is happily reunited with HER owner, a nice lady who was very happy to see HER kitty.
I feel like I've been smoking the world's most excellent happy weed all day long. I'm so blissed out.

I felt like The Crocodile Hunter or something. I read a LOT on luring animals into traps this week.
