1) Okay, I'm going to reply to all the comments to the last post, but I just need to say how happy I am that so many of you understand the need for a panty rotation system.  Surely I could invent some kind of mechanical device to aid its use, like one of those motorized tie racks...

2) Funky, enviro-friendly salad-and-wrap place not too far from my house is hiring for afternoon hours.  Only problem: they also have a location downtown.  In the bottom of the building where the law office was.  And the law office people eat there almost every day.  AWK. (pause) WARD.  Perhaps I can ask to only work the one location?  Worried that might hurt my chances of getting the job.  Plus, I'd have to basically be on my feet for four hours, which is fine if I'm walking, but just standing around... okay, now I'm just coming up with excuses because it's not The One Perfect Job, which I keep looking for but cannot find.  It does not exist, Self.  Lower your expectations!

3) HOWEVER.  I earned myself $6.27 writing a freelance article for Textbroker, that service we used to order all the godawful content from at that fucking job!  I can't tell if it's a step up, a lateral move, or (I hope) a poke in the eye to my previous employers.  Of whom I may soon be asking, "Do you want the honey mustard dressing?"  But if I can get in the groove and start cranking the articles out, I can earn as much or more than I did hourly at the law firm.

4) By popular demand, here are the Super Fancy Bras that got left out of last night's picture:

Photobucket

They are, from front to back, Pirate Hooker, Spider Lady, and That One Girl at the Bordello Who Always Pretends to Be a Virgin for the Customers.  No, I haven't put a lot of thought into this.  Why do you ask?

5) Also, via the local ice cream shop, there's this:

Photobucket

So that's a thing.  Though they're one day off (it's Banana Wednesday, dammit!)

6) Little Dog is flattered by all your interest in him!  Well, he would be if you were present and willing to scratch beneath his chin.  Full-On Plato Introduction Post to follow.  Not tonight, but shortly!

7) I thought there were more things, but I've run out of things for now.

Pirate Hooker bra definitely my favorite. I've been at the same job for 18 (and have wanted to choke the life out of the bosses for about 10 of those) years so probably not one to give advice.

(also need to learn how to spell)

Hey, you've had the same job for 18 years -- you're doing SOMETHING right! Though the choking 10, not so much. I hope those years are over now, and you're in the enjoyable 8?

You have... some seriously sexy underwear.

(This makes me realize, yet again, what a total GUY I am about my underwear. The older I get, they plainer it gets... I don't even have a really good panty-rotation system.)

Okay, I have always been a massive tomboy, and I still dress pretty much androgynously, but somewhere along the line, I earned the reputation among my friends as being the One With the Cool Bras. It's probably because my mom took me straight from training bras from Costco to the Victoria's Secret sales, but I've always loved fancy undies, even if I'm wearing torn-up cargo pants and an oversized t-shirt on the outside.

You need a panty-rotation system, though. And I'm sure you could come up with one so logical and elegant that mine would look shameful in comparison.

That is the best pirate hooker bra I've ever seen but I also like the pretend to be a virgin bra!

That is absolutely silly. If you can string two words together, you can get hired by Textbroker. I don't know about some of the other services (eHow turned me down, those sons of bitches), but once you get a feel for what kind of articles they're looking for, you can send in better writing samples for what they're looking for. Hint: it's neither academic nor creative prose. :oP

DM me if you have any questions, though I am far from the expert.
