Let this constitute my public apology to anyone I haven't e-mailed or called; to anyone whose blogs I haven't visited, or whose comments on my blog I haven't responded to; and to anyone expecting me to post on any of the blogs I regularly post on. I suck. More specifically, work sucks and it is making me sucky at communicating. Today I did something no temp should ever have to do, which is help the program accountant straighten out my supervisor's budget. Fantabulously craptacular.

I write. I create. I put some of that here. Read at your own risk. If there were an ampersand code for a little skull-and-crossbones, I'd totally be using it right now.
The term "aqua fortis" was the alchemical nomenclature for nitric acid, a necessary component in etching onto zinc plates for intaglio printmaking. I now use copper plates and ferric chloride almost exclusively, as they are much less toxic, but I still like the sound of "aqua fortis."

And it's not even like you could parlay that into some kind of threat to hold over them to get them to offer you a full-time position because YOU DON'T EVEN REALLY WANT TO WORK THERE!
UGH.
We still love you. A pirate emote for you. P-)
I hate emoticons, but I love the pirate emote.
May I please borrow this post? Seriously, I need to issue an apology just like this and could not have worded it better.
The life of the temp is fraught indeed, I do recall. Good luck with the exciting world of accounts!
Please, Seren, feel free. And for more work-inspired fun, see my Flickr Fiction post above...
