You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both.

Spike ,'Sleeper'


Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.  

[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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

EDD. That's the interview I thought was today. I registered at their website but I haven't gotten any additional information. I've been concentrating my energy at the career counseling office. They say networking is very very important. So far I haven't picked up the phone to start that process. Even though I know keeping in touch is just good business, I still feel like I'm asking for a favor.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Well, we have unemployed friends and acquaintances -- DH has lots of connections -- and he loves helping people connect. Keeping his connections vital and current helps him too -- Just in case.

Call or email people -- really.

I just emailed the person who I hope will turn out to be my key contact and a reference.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That card is just baffling, erin. Also, I'm boggled that you need A/C in PDX; it's just wrong.

Grr argh, Laga, on the disappointing word from the repeal 8 people, but yay on making the contact.

I'm having a stupid hard time getting myself to redo my resume and work on a cover letter for something that just posted at my uni that is basically my dream job (if I must have a day job). I've been home sick all day, and I'd kind of thought I'd be able to use that time to get everything together, but instead I've been in a cold-medication haze; I've managed to watch Coraline and boggle at a whole lot of alarmingly clue-deficient comments on one of the Atlantic blogs (Ta-Nehisi Coates: so many white people being so historically tone-deaf it hurts), but I haven't actually DONE a damn thing all day. Possibly I am in fact sick, not just sniffly.

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

Go JZ!
