I've been completely off the map for months, huh?
The temp job from hell that was supposed to turn into the perm job from hell has been, well... an experience.
The client decided to keep me but they don't want to pay the full fee to the temp agency and the temp (and supposedly, placement) agency refuses to negotiate at all. (FYI, PSG sucks!)
Both of them, of course, expect me to sit on my hands and keep working for a fraction of what my salary should be while they figure it out.
So, yeah. I think I'm giving notice tomorrow. I've got quite enough personal reasons for developing ulcers; professional ones shouldn't even come into play!
The teevee does love me, though, and has been making me insanely happy lately. Here's why:
+ I've officially put Criminal Minds on my viewing schedule because it has been rocking *hard* this season. (I do so love new-fandom-rush.)
+ Even though I had gotten over The OC halfway through the second season, I started watching again this season and, not only did I get a solid, funny, and touching season of tv; the finale made me weep like a little bitch, and you can just bet I was asking it for MORE! Heh.
Seriously, that is going down as one of the best series finales ever for me. I thought the show was regaining its focus during the season (before they announced the cancellation) and it was evident in every minute of that final episode. It was really everything I ever loved about the show.
+ My love for Supernatural is reaching Buffy proportions, dude. I didn't think that was ever going to happen again. It's just been so *good*!
In unrelated news, I now live next door to where I used to in a newly renovated apartment that does not have fake wood panels for walls. I might actually invite some of you over now. Hehee.
