The Totally Radical Thread for Crotchety Old Bitches

Sigh. Boring day altogether.

Yes with no husband to cause chaos for you and only the company of napping Chihuahuas.

yeah well, what am I to do, I don't even have the benefit of getting almost struck by lightning to brighten my day. and all the dogs are doing is sleeping.

Of course when it is time to come get me they wire right up. Cheeky lil buggers.

You could always spend time writing.

I had a job interview today with one of the best people I have met. She was honest about the pay, (25K a year, which is still more than I make now) and honest that I would not be promoted unless I transferred departments simply because this isn't just a state job, it's state education and they're broke.

I don't even know if I'll be offered the job, but it was a nice experience and I think I at least made a good enough impression to be considered. From there, that's another ball game.

If I do get offered this job, and I haven't heard anything about the promotion I applied for at my current job, I'm just going to sit down with my current bosses and lay it out for them and ask what they can offer. I hate job hopping and I don't feel like this is a good enough leap, but you do what you can to survive. I would really like to be able to make above the poverty line before I am 30 if all possible. We'll see.

Whew, congrats on finding a non-douche interviewer. Most of the time I suspect most of them to be in the league of evil. You really have to question a job with the sole function of being professionally discriminatory in one way or another. Good luck on that job. 25k ain't much, but it's way better than nothing

My metal bits are aching. I don't understand why I hurt more in the heat and humidity than I do at any other time.

First day of school. Both classes seem like good groups. We'll see.

Metal bits? Are you really a clockwork cat?

Sort of yes. I've got screws and braces in my right elbow, my right wrist and my right ankle. This didn't all happen at once. The metal bits accumulated over many years from a series of accidents. Fortunately, I'm left handed/sided, but they still hurt sometimes.

Probably to the same degree I am cyborg. Thankfully my metal bits haven't acheing.

I expected rudimentary bionics, but I don't think it had come up before.

I keep forgetting you're not over 30.

I will take that as a compliment? (hopeful smile) I'm just 28 so I'm not as far away as I would like.

My metal bits have been aching but that's pretty constant. I just got hurt in a bad spot.

No joke. Your body doesn't like that bit of you being injured.

I wish I had moved in May. Finding a sublease for six weeks or less is a lot easier in the summer when all the students are going home. All the subleases on Craigslist now are "take over my lease that's up in March!"

Ugh kill me. Boyo has decided that he simply must get on my case about my lack of touch typing skills.

I HATE touch typing.

It's not that hard, says the person who learned when she was 16.

Hating it implies you've done it before. It does speed up your typing speed quite a bit, unless you've already got the hand positions down and just prefer to stare at the keyboard while you type.

Well crappy neighbor down below has vanished. Left his crap in his apartment and disappeared. Good riddance.

Have the MIBs showed up yet to Obliviate you?

They don't usually do that that to their co-workers. ;)

Yay! My orders have officially posted! Now I just need to wait for an e-mail back from my new ship to find out exactly when we're supposed to start deployment so I can ensure I'm there in a proper amount of time.

When I think of the Burning Man festival, I think of youth and counterculture; very much a current-events sort of thing.

Just had a conversation with one of my guys. It came up in conversation that he is three years younger than Burning Man. He has never lived in a world without it.

I predict that I will now spend the rest of the day marveling at all the shit that is new in my life which 20-somethings have always had. Clearly a sign of full-onset codgeritis.

The Commissionaire has declared a snowstorm, meaning we need to get home before the snow kicks in.

The office is closing at 3 instead of 4:30! Whoot!
