So far, so good on the schedule. I begin working for weekends for Louie on Sunday. This ought to make for good blog fodder!

“Dancer” is a joke about masking what I do at my new job. There are some things I don’t think are wise about posting, and so I try to be careful when I talk about work. Not that I don’t dance in the parking lot at work. :-)

wish someone would call and offer me some dead wild animal.

Hi. Yeah, pessimist here. My stomach was on the floor as I was positive you were, indeed, correct when you assumed you were fired. I felt my stomach tighten and did the chanting with you “don’t-let-it-be-bad…don’t-let-it-be-bad…don’t-let-it-be-bad…don’t-let-it-be-bad.” Glad it all worked out for you, betch. Now I'm going to take some Pepto-Bismal with an Ativan chaser. Oh, right. Congratulations and all that jazz. <em>Les Says: LOL! I maybe meant to make you wonder a little with me, but I honestly didn't mean to make you sick over it, Shetbag... Sorry 'bout that. ;-) (That'll teach you to leave the Etherworld for the weekend.) </em> Hey. Hi.

I'm impressed with myself over that one, as it was an effect I was actually TRYING to produce.
