Squeeze 'em!
Thing is, I can't squeeze 'em too hard or they won't win the contract. It's the client who's squeezing.
I can afford to make less than I did before: I can't afford to not get a job at all, after 7 months out of work.
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Argh. Yeah. I hope you don't get screwed too badly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck, Consuela!

Since I had the heretical-for-Americans view that I was being rather overpaid in my last full-time job, the prospect of making a bit less for this gig is not horrifying. It's kind of the principle of the thing, I guess--we're never supposed to make LESS.
Ah, well. I'll find out more later. Now I'm off to the vet, and then to pick up Dad for an appointment, then race home, catch the bus to BART, go to work in the city for the afternoon. Then come home, walk the dog, change, go climbing.
Being unemployed is not nearly as restful as I was led to believe, I must admit...

I am at the airport with free wi-fi and there is a plane here getting emptied for me to board. WHEE!

Because books.
I hope it works out, and soon, Consuela.
Why is msbelle on a plane? What did I miss? (Also, yay!)

Woot msbelle! Have a great, and productive, weekend!
I am trying to move a bunch of minor onerosity off my lap today. So far, so good. It always surprises me how much can be done by email. I must have sent out at least 50 emails today, and that's not counting the 30-40 more that I can't send directly so I've sent an email out to their directors asking them to send it for me.

I'm really glad I know they are replacing the countertops when I move out. Just discovered I didn't clean up from my super glue repair jobs as well as I thought. I didn't glue any of those items to the counter. Just the tube of glue itself. Gah. But, oh well.
