Ok! I knew I could count on you to know!

But I will admit to a massive crush on UK Stig v2.

As is only right and good. I haven't seen the US Top Gear yet. Probably won't have a chance to take it for a spin until after Yuletide.

I told them I was interested in finding work, and that I did have a prospect I was working on. The agency person said "Oh, we can help with a vendor position! Let me talk to someone!"

So...can you say "actually, I'd really love to hear from you on (non-vendor) positions"? Or is it that they have vendor connections you'll just want if the other thing falls through?

how about " some approached me before you did "

Dh works with a contract co now -- it is pretty well understood that contractors go where the work is. When they realized his contract might not get renewed ( back in June ) they started looking for places for him - and they were aware that he was going to look wherever he could. and they pushed it hard with his current company ( wh o finally did what everyone does and said - ack we can't lose Matt now )

Good god, why aren't any of my meds working?

Jilli, I don't know how it is in your more concentrated neck of the woods, but all the contracting companies I worked with were very sanguine about competition--just as long as I didn't let them double submit, they were fine. I felt bad not going with the recruiter that had gotten me two good positions in a row, but shit, man, first come first commissioned. But it came up more than once that companies I had a relationship with had to not offer me for a position because someone else already had.

Good god, headache. Subside. Tomorrow is jam-packed with meetings. And you haven't slept right in two days.

Good god, why aren't any of my meds working?

I loathe your meds for not working. Mostly I hate that you have to deal with this at all. It's awful.

Headaches NO.

Oh, ick, ita. I'm sorry. I hope the headache lets up or your meds kick in. Bah.

I'm with you, ita. I don't think you could get me to a cuddle party to stop an apocalypse.

Seriously.

It takes more vetting for me to get a good hug than a decent lay. I have to like you, maybe even respect you, to hug you.

You respect me!! I feel all warm now.

I don't think you could get me to a cuddle party to stop an apocalypse.

I'd have to have a written contract signed in blood that the only thing that could stop the apocalypse was my participation in said party. Also, the contract should include a lot of money and maybe a parade.

What Ginger and Cass said, re: cuddle party. t shudder

I'm so sorry your meds aren't working, ita.

D and I watched American Top Gear and decided that while it cannot possibly be as brilliant as the British version, the car on ski slope and blindsrifting competition were pretty damned awesome.
