Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The state of Rhode Island puts smiley faces on its tax return forms. There's a smiley face next to the "amount refunded to you" line on the form, and a frowny face next to the "amount you owe" line, just in case you were otherwise unaware of what each meant.

If I only had a brain...

Grump. I just missed a layoff I didn't know was coming; I really didn't expect layoffs in my department. In the usual insane corporate fashion, they haven't TOLD US who was laid off, so you find out by ones and twos. In the weeks to come, E-mail will bounce and then you'll know.

I feel weirdly numb.

Oh argh, I'm so sorry, Betsy. I've been through that many, many times.

{{Betsy}} Layoffs suck.

Neither Missouri or Kansas have anything interesting on their tax forms (I have to do both).

Mostly lurking...

Oh, DX, that's just strange. Just about as strange as finding it on a paper.

Betsy, I'm so sorry.

Utah does it too. It's creepy.

But you shouldn't feel sorry for me; I still have a job! I shouldn't feel as shocked as I do; nothing bad happened to me.

Why, oh why do I double-post?

It's snowing to a far-thee-well out there. About half an inch in the last hour. Yay, summer water!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

HEC!!! or any California HR types--I have a question. One of our exempt employees took a day off last week, but worked a full day Saturday so he put in a 40-hour week. The Head Office wants him to take his day as Paid Time Off, thus using up a vacation day, and the Saturday is considered by them just extra time that salaried employees sometimes have to work (I worked on the Saturday, for example, and won't get overtime for it, since I'm also exempt). This seems wrong to me, but I can't find anything concrete to back me up.
