Feisty, yet completes perfect paperwork

[judecorp]

I guess I must be pretty good at my job because my boss was singing my praises to our new hire this afternoon. Of course, she also told me she hated me after I said that I hated her and her malicious lies. Aaah, the lunch table. My boss is a 20ish-year-older version of me, possibly even a little /more/ inappropriate. Good times.

She said today that I gave the most unpretentious interview she'd ever had, that I laid everything on the table the minute I met her. I thought that was funny, because I don't believe there's any such thing as an interview without even a /little/ pretense. I told her I was sure that I was self-checking for inappropriate comments and she said she was, too. Ha! I [heart] her.

It's going to be winter soon and thus will begin the season of the year when I hate my job. So I suppose I should document some of its praises now while I can still remember them. Of course, if we can get through the winter without a blizzard, that would be a definite improvement.

My Jennifer had a job interview yesterday for a job she hopes she's offered. While I would love for her to have a (non-retail) job offer that is closer to her field with a better salary, I don't really want to be here in Boston. I want my crunchy hippie house in Easthampton, dang it! But if she gets it, we're probably much more likely to own a semi-spacious condo in Dorchester or Roxbury. Which, for the record, is not at all where I want to own property or raise crunchy hippie granola children. In case that wasn't abundantly clear.

I need a haircut. Time for another call in to the Dark Overlord.

You could be a crunchy hippie in JP or Cambridge, though, couldn't you?

(Says she who is struggling to be a crunchy hippie on the South Shore, that bastion of Keno bars and SUVs....)

We can't afford to be crunchy hippies in JP or Cambridge. We don't really want to downsize into a teeny-tiny place, and whenever I look at places, we can't afford anything remotely similar in JP or especially Cambridge. Heck, Somerville and Medford are way out of our price range, too.

There have to be other crunchy hippies on the south shore. Maybe we'll have to go join you. ;)

you should just go home and live with all the crunchy lesbian families in Clintonville.

But I'd really like to be crunchy and also have rights. Oh, those pesky things, rights - always getting in the way of the cheap housing.
