    @Totalanimefan: Ehh, I'm in the same boat as you with the job hunt.
    I'm overqualified in education and under-qualified in experience so I'm a pariah. Plus, the places around here just don't seem to want to pay more than poverty wages to get your foot in the door so I'm stuck. I think a few places knew I'm waiting on results of the exam, too, so it's just a real pile of [quick break with a sponsor].

    How about yourself?
    @lysander: Just loafing around the house today. And yourself?

    Ah, probably one that wouldn't eat me.

    I wouldn't have been a user at the time--I don't think.
    That being said, welcome back. I'm glad you had the courage to [re]introduce yourself, haha.
    Congratulations on finding a new place; I hope the transition out is smooth.

    I have been mostly lucky in the places I've lived. The first apartment I moved into lasted only three months because the neighbors in the other side of the duplex shot a gun through the wall and then had the audacity to come over and laugh about it while telling me not to go to the police. I don't think about them often, but I wouldn't feel guilty about wishing they fell into an oncoming truck.
    I guess the response to the critique is that the site and the staff don't actually owe the users anything.
    @Totalanimefan: haha
    I think my partner would walk right into traffic if it meant they could pet a dog. We saw a couple of them yesterday and they were so happy because one popped its head out the window of a car for a few pets.

    They were both so pleased with themselves.

    I just started making my own spice mixes because I had most of the basics.
    My partner thinks it's funny because they would just buy the mix outright, but sometimes they add too much salt which can be kind of a downer.

    I love to label things, and I've taken over one of the cupboards with all the spices I have.
    My poor partner had only a handful of spices before they met me.

    That sounds like a challenge alright.
    Whenever I focus on one part of anatomy, I tend to toss out something else. Did I finally get hands? Time to forget the feet. Oh, so you think you know knees? Guess you don't need to know where the eyes go.
    @Count Trashula: I apologize for the long wait. Please let me know if the colors are okay; I wanted to make him a little somber (poor kid is so gloomy!).
    Additionally, because the style and wait were not what was originally ordered, you’re not required to pay.

    @cashew: I apologize for such a long wait. Please let me know if the colors need to be adjusted.
    Additionally, because of the wait and because it’s a different style than ordered, you’re not required to pay.

Posted in PB&J preference? Posted 2 years ago
    I grew up eating it with raspberry jam because of the prevalence of raspberries here, but I really prefer strawberry preserves for pb+j. And as for the peanut-butter, I prefer anything more on the "processed" side--natural nut butters tend to be either too dry or too liquid.

    That's an impressively gullible employee, but it's good it gave everyone a good riot.

    I had my whole desk rubber-banded while I was out at lunch once. It was well-deserved after all the nonsense I had been pulling on my coworkers.
    A really good one that they pulled was telling everyone in the company that they "found out" I did standup and I had a show at a bar that Friday. The entire week people were telling me how excited they were to see me and that they knew all along I should have been doing it. It really came to a head at the end of the week when everyone had planned to go to that bar to see me.

    I don't do standup and I never have.
