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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

My company is probably going to be bought by another publisher. And the staff, as usually happens, will be redundant.

My division of Harcourt Brace was bought out and then dissolved just before I got married. Weird.

I will say that it's a good feeling to be running a company the way that I think is right.

That is the best way.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Good for you, ND, and you too Stephanie. It's so important to believe in what you do and believe you are doing good.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Well, that was interesting. My thumb and hand have been hurting for a while (left hand, which is odd), but I'd thought they were doing better. Just woke up at quarter to 4, and I couldn't bend or unbend my thumb at all. I tried gently moving it with my other hand, and after a while, it's now moving on its own, but still uncomfortable.

Knowing what you want is good--helps ou make solid choices and all that.

Steph, I hope everything ends up working out for you. The economy's supposedly on an upswing and all. If it comes down to it, a lot of Buffistas have job hunting experience and will be happy to share. I think your combination of publishing experience and pharmaceutical knowledge could be quite valuable.

Teppy, I'm sorry. That's sucky timing, but you are most definitely not unemployable.

Gronk. H called at 5:30 to ask me to babysit. Luckily she offered to bring G to me.

Tep, I think with your skills and knowledge base there are certainly academic hospital jobs you might look at. If you want someone to talk to about how academic staff jobs work (although obviously not hospital!) let me know.

G just told me that dinosaurs lived in the 1950s.

Heh. He's supposed to be resting on the couch. I can't convince him to actually do that.

G is the most hyper sick kid ever. Need more tea.
