I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

[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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Good luck on the interview, Steph! And on the wedding stuff.

Hi Jilli! Rage on.

Jilli, in my experience it won't make it impossible but probably more complex. As a rule we would be hesitant to transfer under those circumstances because - and here I'm speaking in broad strokes and not you at all - HR et al see it as shifting a problem from one team to another. However, if new team/manager are on board, they can likely make it happen.

I have often seen that if you are on warning like that (whatever they call it) you can't transfer. But that said, I doubt whether you've signed it would make a huge difference in that case.

Yeah, signed or not isn't likely to be relevant.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Just to give another point of data on PIPs. I was placed on one the first year I was with Donlen/GM. Got through it, and 7 1/2 years later, I was running the division. It doesn't always mean the kiss of death. The people that mattered realized that my manager at the time was a micromanaging control freak. I wasn't blameless, but they also knew it wasn't entirely my fault.

Best cry-proof mascara: the Blinc tubular stuff

That's my mascara! I'm a weeper and it's been hiding that from the world around me for years.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

So, I've been having this more or less constant low to mid grade anxiety ever since I found out I didn't get the Beverly Hills job. I have even woken up at like 4 in the morning almost every night this week. I was really hoping for some financial stability . I can't handle the stress of freelance any more.

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

Wish there was more I could do to help.

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.

Sean, snuggles and purrs and whatever would really be of comfort to you.

Sean, I'm sorry. I wish I had more than that.
