Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Grand news, Kat!

So I'm finally at the point of negotiating salary with this firm, although the client, my Former Employer, is asking them to cut their bid by 19%. WTF.

They won't give me any flexibility on leave, but apparently the job is 3 days telework/2 days in the office. I want a big-ass flatscreen monitor for that. And a standing desk, although I forgot to ask for that...

Good luck negotiating, Consuela!

Grow thistles yourselves! Cut out the middleman!

I do leave the thistles in the backyard to go to seed, but I'm not going to harvest the seeds so I can fill the feeder in the front yard where I can see the goldfinches from my couch. And there are community standards against having huge thistle plants going to seed in your front yard, sadly.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Fingers crossed, Consuela

I hope your get what you deserve, Consuela. Squeeze 'em!

I am completely failing to motivate to be something other than a cat bed. Except they abandoned me, so now I have to Do Something. Ate. Once my body acknowledges that, will go swim.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

My cats have abandoned me too. I have work but nothing with a hard deadline today. Unusual for the last day of the month, so I am giving the side eye to my e-mail.

Plus I have the edge of a headache. I'm trying to cut it off but it is laughing at the puny Ibuprofen, like it knows I have Percocet and Vicodin in my room.

Squeeze 'em!

Thing is, I can't squeeze 'em too hard or they won't win the contract. It's the client who's squeezing.

I can afford to make less than I did before: I can't afford to not get a job at all, after 7 months out of work.

Argh. Yeah. I hope you don't get screwed too badly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, Consuela!
