Good news, Teppy!
Danger's my birthright.

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.

Aww, good on him.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Interview is over -- it went well, and she's sending me a copy-editing test to complete next week.
Excellent! May the AMA be wise enough to see, that you would be top candidate, and offer you the job.
Jilli, that cupcake story is too cute! Glad she helped renew your faith in humankind. Maybe swing by with a signed copy of your book for her?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I can appreciate the "It shouldn't matter so I'm not going to make an announcement" stance... particularly since when it did matter he made one. Good for him.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Steph, that's so exciting! Keeping my fingers crossed for you. This interview was for the freelance gig, right?
It was the freelance gig. It's definitely only part-time (VERY part-time, as in, a steady stream of work, but probably an average of 10 hours a week of work), but (1) it's a start, and (2) even as a part-time gig, the AMA will be good on my resume.
And may your ladyparts soon be soothed. Painful ladyparts make it hard to enjoy life or even focus on anything else.
Oh god, the appointment. So painful. I suspected it would be, but when you have to give a shot of lidocaine INTO an already painful area, that needle is from the devil. There were some loud-ish exclamations invoking God on my part.
So on the way home I stopped at the giant booze/party store and bought awesome GF beer, chardonnay, giant olives, and extra sharp white cheddar.
I am not yet drinking but might start soon.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
May your ladybits calm down and give you peace.
The drama continues. Member A's mom, who is also a friend, called cause A was up all night, upset that Member D was so upset about being passed over. A's mom thinks that all the members are mad at her and A.
All other things being equal, it makes more sense to promote a HS Junior into the First Lieutenent position, grooming him/her to be Captain in his/her senior year. A is a junior, D is a senior. For smooth continuity of the team, it was a logical choice. Now, I don't know if this was part of the decision process but I think it should have been.
I feel so bad for A and his mom. He should be able to be happy and not feel like he stepped on anyones toes. While I can understand D feeling slighted, this stuff happens and throwing a hissy fit doesn't help the team at all.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
she's just an old lady holding on to precious myths. Not sure it's worth unfriending over.
It's just how she is, you mean? Is this the "good heart" version or the "didn't mean anything by it"?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Best possible thoughts, Jilli.
Steph, I'm glad it's at least taken care of now. And yay on the good interview.
Also, yay CJ!
I'm glad you're feeling better today, sj.
I wish I could be wholeheartedly delighted about and in Swinton, but I understand she's a Polanski apologist, and...no.
Aw, big bro Emmett--Matilda's a lucky little sister.
Has anyone heard from bonny today?
