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.

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

Did someone say something about CBD oil for hot flashes? I think they're starting.

My mom tried to do Pilates...the dog thought they were playing.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

the dog thought they were playing.

Looked like a play bow to puppers. Game on.

They blow. I'm more of a combo approach girl. CBD good, plus the other parts is better. Although I have gone a couple of days without my scalp and hair being drenched on my way to work. It's the little things.

My cats used to lie on me when I was trying to do yoga!

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

When I was lying flat on my back in Corpse Pose, the cat Slinky would lie behind my head and chew on my hair.

I hesitate to guess what Murderbiscuit might do.

My cat Tanuki would lie on my back purring to take a nap.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My cat Tanuki would lie on my back purring to take a nap.

There was a funny picture circling the internet of cops having apprehended a guy on his motorcycle. They had him handcuffed and facedown on the ground and some cat promptly crawled onto his back, using the perp as a belly warmer.

Tim does about 30 minutes of PT exercises a night these days (adult-onset scoliosis caused by bone degeneration is no picnic), all of which he does while lying on the floor, and Murderbiscuit just gazes disdainfully at him from his perch on the arm of the chair.

So I feel like I'd be safe if I did yoga, but it's entirely possible that Murderbiscuit allows Tim to do his PT exercises in peace because Tim is The Most Favored Human, but if I tried yoga, he'd unleash Murderbiscuit-y wrath.

Thrive to spite them

I need to vent about work. I would talk to M about this but he gets like outraged at the wrong stuff and I just need...I don't know.

Work sucks. It often feels like we don't have a store manage because we rarely see him on the floor. And if he walks by he doesn't really acknowledge anyone. The reat of the management team is stressed out by the expectations. We also have new people. So many new people so they are slow. Which is understandable but a lot of them don't ask for help and are taking too long. And even though omni sales out performs in store sales we can't get support from most of the management team.

We need a team manager.

We need a store manager that will actually do things. Our old manager wasn't perfect but he would come out and help or move people around .

And no one really understands the shit show that is going to start in a week or 2 when orders really ramp up.

Communication sucks at the store and we keep hearing conflicting things and there is no way to keep everyone in contact with what is going on.

M and I go to Florida on Friday and I am so damn ready.

Our wings are not tired.

Are there any potential other job opportunities nearby, askye? It doesn't sound like things are going to improve.
