Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

[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.

I'm through to the second round, I know. I have to send in salary requirements (bleccch, he wouldn't even give me a hint) so I need to crunch numbers today.

Take what you were making at your old job (or what you should have been making) and round it up another $3-5K, depending on if there's an increased scope of work at this place. I don't know if this is the best advice, but it's pretty much what I do. I might be underselling myself though.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Cyborg!smonster, that's so exciting! Damn, girl. You are a Competent Professional(tm) tempting potential employers with your desirable skillz.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wow. Those are excellent shoes.

Great interview, smonster! Best of luck with your next phase.

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

Yay, smonster! I hope you hear back soon.

Why does everything have to cost so much? I really need to look for a job and soon. I can just about get by without SS and there is no room for unexpected expenditures or things like the gym membership I just signed up for. I've been out of work so long I wouldn't even know where to start. Any advice?

I am feeling all empowered and shit! This is a nice turnaround from my initial reaction last night. The police are in the loop, so we'll see what we see.
