Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I don't know why I'm serial posting.

I got the job. Well I'm like 99% sure the transfer will happen. The manager I talked to was really impressed with numbers and my attitude. The store is huge and does a huge volume and all I will do is manage people and sell .

I still haven't talked to my manager and he has to sign off on the transfer. I'm not sure when but maybe the week after next.

Our wings are not tired.

That is awesome, Scrappy!

Great news, askye!

Job~ma must be floating around. Eldest son is working doing data entry for one of my doctors. Office manager asked me if I knew someone at another practice familiar with our software that might want temp work because she is short staffed. I mentioned my son, who she knows, and she was delighted. I brought him there and stayed for a few minutes. She took about 30 seconds showing him how to use other software they use that he will need to search for info and she was just so happy to have someone that requires no help. Then on the way there in the car his former employer called to say he was eligible for rehire and could he come in tomorrow for a brief interview. Maybe I won't have to support him into his 30s after all.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Awesome news, Scrappy and askye!

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Woot! Askye, that's good news!

Laura, yay for eldest son! I'm so glad he's got positive stuff going on.

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

Dealing with my mother is giving me an anxiety attack. She's not actually doing anything to trigger it -- she just has lots of emotions, and expresses every one of them, and at the moment, it's overwhelming.

At least she's at Disney World this week. She can go on It's A Small World as often as she wants, and get all mellow. Well, as "all mellow" as she gets. Which is still incredibly keyed up for a normal person, but she loves that ride and talks about how relaxing it is.

I'm sorry your mom is being so stressful.

Living with someone and having such a long commute is hard.

I havent heard anything more about the job. But I need to call them and update my phone number. I switched to Straight Talk to get off mom's plan and have more data. I ended up changing my phone number and lost my Vermont number. I'm kind of sad. It was the last big thing to let go of.

Today was long for several reasons but there were more markdowns including a 5 quart Kitchen Aid stand mixer that was on clearance for $150 but I got for less because of my discount. I didn't really need to spend the money but I don't know when I would find one for that price.

I'm thinking about getting a weighted blanket (trying a bunch of stuff to try to sleep better/not clench my teeth/not wake up with a headache). Anyone have any recommendations or "dont Buy this brand/kind"? I'd really like to look at it and hold it in person but I'm not sure where I'd find one—I thought target had some but they aren't showing as available for store pickup so I hadn't gone there yet.
