Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

Host ,'Not Fade Away'


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.

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

OK, I really have no idea what I'm doing with the video editing, because I can't figure out how to download the file. Oh well.

Guess who's on a 30 day performance improvement management plan? Guess who doesn't trust her manager AT ALL? Guess who's going to be updating her resume tonight, because better safe than sorry?

Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck. At least the manager gave me the rest of the day off "to process and review the plan".

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

What. The. HELL, Jilli???? That's crazy!

YEAH. WTF, Jilli?!?!

My technical writing isn't at the level my boss wants. I'm not doing enough work, and the team is carrying me, even tho' in June the plan was to load-balance my work better because it was determined that having me juggle SIX projects was maybe a bad call. But there's also not enough UX writing work to justify me spending more time with that team.

Like I said, I don't trust my manager. For a lot of reasons, which I'm not going to elaborate on in a semi-public space.

However, I will say that I have now learned for sure that I would rather be an editor than a technical/programmer writer.

Our wings are not tired

Still waiting on the CU. It's going up the chain and so far it looks hopeful.

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.

Jilli, I am sorry that you have a manager you do not trust. That just makes every bad thing even worse.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Lots of ~ma, Steph!!

Jilli, WTF. Updating the resume sounds prudent.

Reviewing health insurance. Kill me now.
