DIE SUPER!!! - G'morning, 2009!

[superaielman]

You've one upped me in the 'you're asking for it' department LD. I'm pretty damn horrified.

And if you really need the job, grab it and frantically try to find something to replace it with in the  meantime. (Snow still needs a Cabana boy and Andrew hates his job. *Nodnod*)

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

I'm glad you volunteer to incur Ash's wrath in my stead. It's particularly surprising given your stories about her deathgrip. >_>

[Lady Door]

The company meeting was not horrifying, though it pretty clearly outlined why the company was eliminating positions. I will be moving to the Marketing and Communications Department next week (or... sometime, no one's really sure or in a hurry to move me even though my job was eliminated today) as their department assistant.

The interview was fine and seemed to be more of a "this is how awesome we are, look at what you can help us do, please come help us!" presentation than an actual interview, though they did prod at my experience with programs a bit. Same salary, same benefits, same whole kaboodle - truly a lateral move. But I still have to pack my stuff and move to another part of the building. At least the people over there are more energetic!

Before I start looking for a new job, I'm going to give this one an honest try. It sounds much more like what I wish this job had been. Still not perfectly ideal, but I like the company and don't really have the luxury of being unemployed for as long as it would likely take for me to find a job starting from scratch.

Andy's stuck not being a Cabana boy for at least a little while longer, alas.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

I'm glad things went over well, Ash. I'd recommend tossing the resumes as a side idea anyway, mostly out of a matter of safety (after all, you had one hell of a scare today >_>).

Also, it sorta amazes me how well you took to the idea of making Andy a cabana boy.

[Idun]

... No fun or games. I think I have a stalker. My mom forwarded an e-mail of some greeting card that she got in the mail today in my name to me, and I think I've seen that name on the Phil roster when it's passed around class.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Pack up the mace, girl. You'll probably find it handy.

EDIT: If necessary, call the police as well.

[Xeroma]

Get people in on it right now and never stay in a place where you're by yourself for any even remotely extended period of time.

Investing in some personal defense gadgetry[like say pepper spray] would be a good idea too.

[Grefter]

I can get within 5 feet of Andy without Ash removing my head, considering the joking I do regarding Andy I can just assume she is totally down for the Andy yaoi.

Welcome to the Wage Aristocracy.  They are making it easier on you by providing you with a new soul crushing job and making themselves look desperate while making you feel important.  It is a ploy.  They are making you more comfortable, more reliant on the system, less resistant to its downfall.

Get job, spend money, move economy, get "better" job, "earn" more money, feel more important, spend more money, move economy, repeat ad nauseum.

Must be. She also hasn't killed me yet so she has a high tolerance in general. Hope the job's worth sticking out for a while at least, LD.

Why is everyone coding?
 
5 yesterday, and 3 so far today (seriously...8 codes in 2 days is mindblowing, and I've been to all of them), and of those 8, 4 are my patients.  1 v fib, 5 hypoxemias, 1 hypoglycemia, 1 loss of consciousness. 

It feels like one of my favourite Scrubs episodes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbEkKa-W55s).

*Puts on The Fray, "How to Save a Life": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmFi2snLr7o&feature=fvw*

This is starting to get a little depressing ;_:

[Grefter]

That is actually a really good episode of Scrubs and yeah also a good song, highly reccomend that album and Fray's new one.

You are a horrible person with horrible taste in everything.

[Cotigo]

In more cuddly news, my neighbour's cat had kittens a month ago.  My roommate will be adopting it soon.

It's name will be Anar-kitty.

[Cmdr_King]

Hypoxemias?

[Idun]

I have this cool lipstick case that has a knife in it. But I'm not sure if the mood'll hit me for direct contact. And uh, where do you even BUY mace? Isn't it illegal?

[Shale]

As long as you're not carrying a mace, you're within your legal rights.

If you do get a spray of some sort, make sure to test it out before carrying it day-to-day. Those things usually blow a small amount back onto the person holding the canister, and you want to be ready for that if you're using it in a real confrontation.

[Lady Door]

Andy's mom gave me a small spray can of mace disguised as a ballpoint pen. I'm not sure if she intended me to use it on him (I haven't yet).

Mace is pretty easy to get. For the love of god, though, don't opt for the stronger "bear spray." Given what it's intended to deter, it shouldn't be surprising how powerful and painful that stuff is. Its major downside is that it disperses very well in the surrounding area, making the entire environment unpleasant for the bear - and everyone else.

And yes, I do know this from experience.

What a considerate mother the man has. Seriously though, I wouldn't mind such a thing, if only because I like things hidden as everyday objects.

Mmmhm, deadly spray pen.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

I'll raise my bid for Cabana Boy Andrew by 50% if you send the mace pen along with him.

[Grefter]

I like that Snow knows well enough to make the joke before I do.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

And I pulled an all-nighter again. Saturday mornings would be hell if they weren't so sedate, but sometimes I almost wish I worked 40 hours a week.

[Taishyr]

Wee for absolutely no sleep tonight.

I seriously don't know what I'll do when classes roll around, though.

[Clear Tranquil]

My only issues w/th all nighters at the weekends is that my mom basically kicks me out of bed ASAP in the morning + out of her house ^_^

The body just forces itself to sleep after the second all-nighter in a row in tandem with classes. Doesn't mean it'll sleep at the time you wish it'd crumble into dust, but it's something.
