I got a lead on a job that I was feeling obligated to apply to, even though the job is not really up my alley. Now I've gotten an email from the person in the position and, OMG. I don't even know what to say. I wish I could share it with you guys. It's crazy the amount of shit he put out there. Let's just say if all he says is true, he is smart for leaving, and I would be insane to even interview.
Sorry to be somewhat vague. I am honestly a little speechless. Yes, cuddlyevil. He is kind of warning me off. He'll say something like, be prepared to offer sexual favors in return for a promotion, and then turn around and say, but if you are an X type of person, you'll be just fine.
I may share more tomorrow, but now I have a date with the devil.

You are brave and courageous Muddled! I got a parking ticket today for having the wrong kind of parking permit. I just stuck on the permit they gave me when I told them what campus I had classes on. The ticket is getting waived bus, really?! If you are going to be uppity about parking permits then make sure you sell me the right one. I am working on an evening gown for the HRC Gala I am volunteering at. I splurged a little on the fabric and I am so happy I did.I love the way it is turning out!

captainmel, I saw this super cute dress pattern and totally thought of you! I'm half tempted to send you the pattern and some fabric and ask you to make it for me! Can you turn something like that in for extra credit? LOL
H was supposed to be working OOT this weekend, but apparently those plans have changed and his boss isn't sending him. UGH! Why does he do this after I have already made plans for my girlfriends to come over, hang out and drink wine! I know it's not his fault, but I'm still bummed.

starrieskies - what is the pattern? I would totally be willing to take a look. Kick your H out for the night this weekend! Tell him to go to a friends for the evening because you made plans.
I'm pretty sure H would hate it, but I really like it! It looks really easy too. I might buy the pattern anyway. (I only look at patterns that say "EASY" on the front)

I think the only thing that would take time is the hem which I would reccomend doing by hand. If you do the hem I would do the rest. Especially if you're not in too big of a hurry!
I just might take you up on that sometime, mel! hehe!
How's school going? (aside from the ticket nonsense)
I love helping people feel good about the clothes they wear! Nothing makes me happier. I would love to help. I am loving all my classes so far! I tested out of basic sewing which made me super happy. I get to take intermediate which is a lot closer to my level. My pattern making teacher is 83 and she kicks ass. I also get student discounts at a few really nice local fabric stores which is exciting and dangerous to my bank account.. Hehe... I love fabric. I am so happy to be in school, it is so enjoyable.

It's always so nice when you are enjoying your classes!
I have class after work tonight, and while it's a very good class, it's not very enjoyable... It makes my head hurt.
I was supposed to meet a friend for a beer before class tonight, but I suspect she has forgotten that it's today because of the short week. I may have a margarita by myself instead.
