Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Spike ,'Potential'


Spike's Bitches 23: We've mastered the power of positive giving up.  

[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.

Betsy, that's just...well, that's just awful. Why?

And why don't hourly employees get bonuses. That's just stupid.

Thanks, sj! Now, you wanna finish this paper for me?

Gud, I've checked. Labor law (FSLA) has an explicit exemption written into it for computer professionals. Even if you're paying a computer professional by the hour, you don't have to pay time-and-a-half.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Sorry vw, I was in the bathroom with Kara. She's having FAR fewer accidents (none so far today!), but we're spending a lot of bonding time in the bathroom.
