Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[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.
Steph, I'm glad about the benefits. I hope the severance is as equally generous.
ASOS carry some good brands of bigger bras and are cheaper than buying bras here. I don't know if I'd buy a bra w/o trying it on, but if there's a brans and style you know and like, it's a good deal. In fact, there's a sale on now, and I am kicking myself for not looking before my size sold out. [link]
I applied for a job, it's part time retail and one of those online things. I probably should have picked loading up my full resume, but I'll see what happens. This was kind of a test run and there was no anxiety.
And the problem with feet seems to have resolved itself.
Hoping that the ~ma helped your dad through the procedure, Epic.
Yay for happy feet and test run job applying!
I really have no bra issues. I never even wore the things until I was nearly 40 (old hippie) and will happily stop wearing them when I have lost a bit more weight. I never get anything with wires. The stretchy soft varieties work for me. I've purchased a few camisoles recently but haven't quite been comfortable enough to go without the bra, yet. The number one reason I still wear them is a heat and humidity issue with living in Florida. A very bad rash happens under my breasts if I am not careful in the heat.
askye, job and apartment ~ma!
Shir, what they all said. And yay for time to read!
Steph, health insurance through year's end is good news. If they can't be bothered to give you what you need to transfer stuff, c'est la vie, and file under Not My Dang Problem but in French so it sounds elegant.
I go on vacation Thursday. I can't wait. I really need a vacation.
Surgical~ma for your dad, Epic.
Askye, good work applying for that job. I hope your apartment search goes well, too.
smonster, I hope you are enjoying your day off.
Teppy, I am very glad to hear about the continued health coverage. That's excellent. The rest of the stress is cruddy for you, so you have my heartfelt Thbbpt! in the direction of those causing your stress.
Aaargh. What's the point of tagging my bag as a VIP if you don't bother to load it on the damn plane??? I am now in the Omaha airport for two hors waiting for my bag. Which has rapidly melting food in it because the TSA doesn't trust us with freaking salad dressing. I'm exhausted and pissed and have a bunch of work I have to do tonight, but I have to cross my fingers it makes it on the next flight (still not assured!) before I can collect it and drive over an hour. I want a fucking nap and am seriously cranky until then.
meara,
one time I was upgraded due to miles on first class and my checked bag was tagged VIP. It showed up on the carousel LAST on a full flight. I wrote to Northwest (RIP) at the time and they gave me a nice bonus for my trouble. I still was cranky being at the airport that long tho.
all internet newbies love the weirdfont and colors...I certainly did.

And apparently, so does our "graphics designer" here in the school of the arts. I kid you not, this lady is HORRIBLE at making posters, programs, invites. Today's invite to a $125/person event had no less than 5 fonts, not counting the three logos. And was made of a lovely background of night view of a garden (sort of) with lots of blues and greens, and BLUE LETTERING in front of it. Yeah. Way to make it easy to read the thing.

Sorry. Clearly that had to come out. It pains me. As a sound person, I can see the graphics suck. And that is saying something.
Meara, I hope your luggage gets to you soon, and the dressing isn't spoiled. Do write and complain.
Well, now the plane it was supposedly on has landed, and all the people on that plane and I are standing around waiting...20 minutes, still no luggage. At all. Anyone's. wtf??
