[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.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Maybe it isn't quite this way, Susan. He might understand it means so much to you, but still not be able to overcome his fears and aversions.
That's probably true, but it feels like he thinks I should be able to easily substitute something else, or consider the book itself the physical symbol of the fulfillment of my dream. Which I might could do, if I knew for sure it was going to get a nice cover--but there's just no way to guarantee that, especially as a first-time author with no clout. If they get Jack's uniform all wrong or saddle me with a bodice ripper cover, ain't no way I'm giving that pride of place in the office of my dreams. It'd make me want to cry every time I looked at it.

Conference calls suck.

conference calls are THE WORST. I'm glad I don't have to have them (often) anymore.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Conference call/online webcasts are also annoying (sometimes helpful) but instead of just listening you have to actually pay attention.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Conference calls sure beat getting up from my desk and going to a new place to sit in a room that's too cold where I can't actually surf the web or get real work done. They're like half the penalty of "real" meetings.
