So my life has been CRAZY and I've been skimming threads and I thought I was paying attention but 'sack's posts above clearly demonstrate that I have not been paying adequate attention to anything. I'm moving the hell on with a weekend of drinking, dancing, furniture shopping and football. I've missed you all!
Just now on the radio, I heard an advertisement for Pretty Girl Beauty Supply. The voiceover lady was making quite the pitch about the sales they currently have going on, while a catchy urban beat grooved along in the background, telling me all about their hair products (Brazilian, Peruvian and "highly desirable Malaysian, which can last over a year!"). Then she says, "right now, you can buy one and get one free or (and she was very excited about the 'or' so it was more like) ORRR, you can buy one and get a second one 50% off." I feel like there may be some very confusing discussions at the register this weekend at Pretty Girl Beauty Supply.
What I find confusing is why you think anyone that goes to Pretty Girl Beauty Supply will actually remember the commercial, or the cost savings promised therein. I do like your optimism.
I'm torn on the biggest decision for my wedding day and I would like the assistance of you all here at TiB. My nephew is going to be our ring bearer. He is 2 1/2. I can't decide if he should be dressed as Batman, Superman, Spiderman or Iron Man. Suggestions?
Agree with the 'Sack on this one, but for different reasons. Superman had no mask, Batman had a partial mask, Spiderman had a full face mask where some facial features could be seen, like his nose (the mask is a little bit ridiculous-looking) and Iron Man had a fucking helmet that shows no features. For avoidance of future embarrassment for the kid, Iron Man helmet (and armour) all the fucking way. Summer is firmly starting here this weekend - the sun is still up after 5pm and it's been pretty warm the last few days. National Braai (barbeque to you Americans and Aussies) day was earlier this week, always on the same day as National Heritage Day - September 24th. Usually it marks the beginning of the 6 month heat wave called Summer. Yikes.

In a lot of states you can't get it if you're fired for cause either. Kubla, are you getting fired or downsized? If downsized, definitely stay, if fired, see below. As for your original question, it does look worse if you were fired for cause, but if you are going to be fired they'll find out your former employer wouldn't hire you back anyway if they do a reference check. If you want the paycheck, stay, if you don't, leave with something resembling a plan. If you just up and quit without a plan a lot of people will think you're flaky, which is not good. Make sure to have a good reason like you had a one time chance to travel across Europe and couldn't pass it up or that you wanted to try your hand at substitute teaching (this might be better because they might be less likely to check your former employer if they can just call the school as a reference) but it wasn't for you. Obviously the answer is going to depend on your specific circumstance, if you're trying to look for the same kind of job the substitute teaching thing is a bad idea. Lastly, you can always make them look like the bad guy, but if you go this route you need to be REALLY diplomatic, not accusatory. Say something like you loved the work and loved the people but a few things you were asked to do weren't in the scope of your job and were questionable. Be as vague as possible and do not bad mouth them.
All six games on The Price is Right today were Plinko in honor of the anniversary of the game. Working from home on Friday is the best!
Come on. It has to be Batman or Superman, because of the cape vs. veil symmetry. And, I was going to say definitely Batman, because he would be wearing black and you would be wearing white, but then hahahahahhahahaha. No. But, I still would go with Batman. It would be awesome for him to take the ring out of the bat belt. Plus it would sound cool if the preacher (bartender, whatever) says "who has the ring?" "Batman." But, you have to teach him the throaty voice.
Re: Re: 9/27/13 WDT NSFW Did you just accuse me of going after low-hanging fruit after you posted a fried chicken joke? Son, I am disappoint.
You guys accept Israel because that's where the End Of Days will happen. Its where Tel Megiddo is. And what happens to the Jews in the bible again when the rapture happens? ZAP. America cares not for the Israeli people as much as the real estate their imaginary friends hold dear.
