Kaylee ,'Out Of Gas'
[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.
And I'm certainly not hurt when somebody talks about a moronic tech writer. Some members of my profession are morons. Heck, some members of me are morons.
Betsy, whenever I am dealing with a moronic tech writer, I entertain little fantasies where they are suddenly replaced on the project by you. Then I get depressed when reality re-asserts itself, and I realize that won't happen.
Sean's.
Sadly (or possibly, Fortunately) this is the proper answer to where blame needs to be laid in the majority of instances.
Well, it's true...he didn't smite them for me.
(We hadn't met yet, but that's hardly an excuse.)Oh, whereBLAME gets laid!(crosses one item off next LA-ista schedule of events.)
That could be embarrassing!
It would be wrong for me to send e-mail to Talented Poet I Hardly Know saying:
Dear Sir,
It was a joke. When did you have your sense of humor extracted?
Love, Me
I don't know whose fault it was.
Sean's.
It's a fair cop.
Yeah, Blamey McJackhole.
Thanks, Jilli. I really needed to hear that.
Thanks, Jilli. I really needed to hear that.
My goodness, lady, I would lay waste to the entire marketing AND QA departments if I could get you as my tech writer.
Dear Sir,
It was a joke. When did you have your sense of humor extracted?
Love, Me
Dear Me,
When they pulled the pole out of my butt.
Love, Sir
I don't doubt it. I'm just all "?!" that anybody could take that seriously, considering it was a "literary" analysis of like, the Silliest Poem Ever.
Now *this* I find offensive. I have never. never. never. started or been involved in an "I hate my teachers" group rant.
I'm sorry vw. That certainly was not my intention. I wasn't accusing you, or indeed any one person. In fact, by "group rant" I meant to imply that many people were involved in previous conversations, and so to avoid singling any one person out.
I certainly don't think of you as offensive, if anything, I think of you as very considerate. As I said, I was trying to not imply that you behavior was offensive, since, as I said in the same post above, you hadn't made me uncomfortable. I'm sorry that I made you uncomfortable instead.
As for your comment, brenda, since you also seem to take offense at my desire to avoid a long conversation on a topic that I didn't want to read about, in future I shall keep my opinions to myself on the subject. It seems to be the prefered response.
