If you're gonna freelance for the Amish you gotta expect a little shunning.
Especially if you keep sending them e-mail.
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Oh, crap. And they probably don't have computers, either, being Amish and all. You'd think the e-mail address of "jacob@...." would have tipped me off.
Though one of the clients is, seriously, a convent.

Gives a whole new definition to "server not found".

Maybe the vow of silence got updated to include modern technology...

The nuns I've met? Not silent. Downright chatty, actually.
Then again, they tended to call where they lived monasteries. I wonder whether there's an order-based distinction there.

The nuns I lived among were very chatty, and it was definitely convent not monastery. Vows of silence not so prevalent. Even Trappists never actually required it.

OK, back on hold with Dell...seriously, could someone please smite them for me?
But wait, then I suppose then it would take them even longer to pick up my call...crap. Someone ready the smiter, and I'll let ya know when to let fly...K?

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
t readying the smiter
(I've been a bit free with the smiting lately. A little extra towards the Dell people is not out of my way.)

Thrive to spite them
I'll smite them!!! I'm still pissed over how HP treated me.
I swear, next computer I get will be an Apple.
