I hope your manipulation works, Tep.
Alas, it has not. The universe must have caught wind of my plan.
A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend.

[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.

Being an Apple Specialist would also allow you to work at an Apple Store too, I expect, askye.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
OMG, I have been spending time with my niecephews (ages 5, 10, and 12) and I am back to wondering how parents emerge with any semblance of sanity at the end of it all. So much noise, so many constant demands for the stupidest things, so much whining and wailing, so much lack of personal space. There are spots of cuteness and coolness but those moments are really few and far between.
My niecephews are assholes!
I just, wow, I really don't get it. I am in awe of parents and caretakers. This is not to disparage parents, I just feel more like an awful person and Mr. Burns style inhuman, unfeeling type of thing.
I may come back and delete this momentarily. I'm being a total asshole, the kids probably learned it from watching me.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I have a friend with three boy - under 6. It was the constant demand for attention that would kill me

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I think children are fascinating and wonderful creatures, and I enjoy them in small doses. Having to spend a lot of time with them would drive me mad. I'm with you, Nora, I am in awe of people who love and want to be parents and caretakers and teachers. We're not awful, it's just the way we're wired up.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Any parent that is honest will tell you their kids are assholes sometimes. Mine are. I am glad Louis CK gave me permission to admit this in public and not feel guilty.
My job as a parent is to get them to *mostly* not be an asshole when they are adults.

Thrive to spite them
Being able to work at an Apple storeally could be cool but I think the closest one is in NH. There might be a closer oNE in NY but I doubt it.
I'm not really an Apple person. I own a nano. I don't remember the last time I used it. But I've gotten good enough at explain and demonstratin them some customers think I own one.
I'm not adverse to owning but the only laptop that appeals to me is the 15" Pro with the graphics card and that is so far out of my price range.

Pretty much.

As annoyed as I get with the cat demanding things, I dread to think what I would do confronted with a kid's demands, with the addition of the behavior. Shadow may miss the litter box, but he's not drawing on the wall with his shit.
