I want to quit my job (sigh). I hate the place. Too many females crammed in, including at least one complete bitch known by some of us as the Foghorn Leghorn. Either there's not enough work or we're overrun. Guess which it is now?!

Spent this morning considering alternative employment. Would rather write but can't pay the groceries with that.

The new company owners have unveiled a new colour scheme for the company. Nice bold colours of black, red and white - and they want to introduce a uniform for people who go to the courts (recording duties). They'll be invading Poland any day now...!

Any ideas for alternative employment for the Ratfan? Anything considered!

Went looking for you on Thursday during the day, on a whim. You weren't home, so I figured work had picked up again.

No suggestions for potential employment, unfortunately.

Yeah, I was enslaved once more (sigh) Probably better luck next week...

Looking for work myself. I'm flat broke so I desperately need some work. I have a couple of prospects, including one possibility of working in a bookstore a couple of days a week.

Can't suggest anything for you, sorry. Considered doing proofreading? I think some of the publishing houses take on outsiders.

Hm, a bookstore wouldn't be that bad, if it was the right one. I've applied a few times for Elizabeth's - I can quote their credit-or-cash rules as well as they can and I know their rates :-) But somehow I never get called in for an interview!

Know what you mean, tho, neither of us exactly fit the bill for check-out chicks....

Heheheh Good thing I wasn't drinking my coffe while reading that or I'd be cleaning it off the screen and blowing coffee bubbles from my nose. Made me laugh aloud.

I did a little research on the bookstore that is advertising. Turns out it specialises in books about childbirth, breastfeeding, etc.
I think my chances of getting the job just nosedived. :)
No matter. I'll apply anyway. You never know.

Hey, Miriam, strangely enough I just heard of a possible opening in an sf bookshop...

And you never know; after all, as crime/mystery writers have to keep telling people, it is not necessary to murder somebody to write a fictional book about it!
