[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.

Did the bosses serve as references?

They did. We're a very small world, so I knew both of them personally, and it was a very natural thing for me to say we'd made an offer and had been accepted during the course of conversation. The applicants really needed to know where they stood, because our annual conference was this past week, and we've been asking HR to send those letters for month.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

w/r/t reasonable amount of time - this current economy has everything so very out of whack. Who knows, really?

Plus there is the fun of when and how often to call for a status update shows initiative and healthy interest versus when it becomes stalkerish.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I figured it was something like that, Sparky, you being you. But without the context it kind of set off my "boundaries, Will Robinson" alarms.

“Not dead yet!”

In small world news, lisah's guitarist from SCS also applied for that job. I'm pretty sure he didn't get it, though.

Well, the upside is that he goes back to looking for jobs and the primary pools seem to be Austin, Seattle, and the San Jose area. All places I'd be good with, but the latter two have the added benefit of many friends.

Well, my crappy 1.5 page essay is written, but on the bright side I have 19 beautiful slides to go with it! That should keep me talking for 7-10 minutes.

I still have a few things to do at home (uh, finish packing) but it will get done and I will get on the road.

Thanks for the -ma and cuddles and such.

Later, Bitches!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm going over to see Friends for dinner tonight at their new place. They are a young couple with an almost 1 year old baby, and this is not their first place. I was thinking of getting them a $25 gift card to Home Depot and a vase with fresh flowers, good idea?

Home Depot and fresh flowers are always good. You might be able to skip the vase, unless you're buying them something in particular.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I think I will just pick up a basic vase from Target, because I won't have time to get the flowers on the way out, and I don't want them to wilt. Or maybe I'll get them.a plant, herbs maybe?

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

I like the plant idea. Everybody could probably use a pot of parsley.

Go for the plant, sj. I have had to put basic glass vases in recycling because I just don't have the space for them (I have 3 vases in my office right now from flowers people gave to me when I came back to work!)
