It really is hard to come up with something else unless broken arms are involved.

Well, the thing is that she thinks that we are buddies because we're both women (the person who previously had my job was male--actually, he's FTM transgendered, which kinda adds to the ridiculosity of her attitude towards him, but I digress...), so I get to hear way more than I ever wanted to know about her, uh, personal life. WHICH I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT, ta ever so. But that's why she apparently thinks it's OK to ask me for help with her personal grooming, I guess.

I painted my ex-bosses nails once at work.

Ew, Kate. Agreeing on the squickiness of the request.

Are there bonus points for going through Hec's and tommyrot's lists and attributing to the tv series/movie from whence each item came? (Crazy Ivan! hee!)

Painting's less squicky and more fun/bonding. You don't end up with dead bits of the other person on or near you, unless you paint one another's nails very differently than I do.

Are you keeping the clippings to see if they keep growing?

I don't see why someone would even want another person to clip their nails unless they had Parkinson's or something—it should be quicker and safer to do it yourself than have anyone else do it for you.

Just watched S2 of The Sopranos, (from my library, natch). Apparently they are good for curses and such.

This reminds me, I need to clip my fingernails. You don't happen to live in the Kansas City area Kate?

Kudos for Hec's early Pink Floyd reference ("Interstellar Overdrive").

Yeah, I was also just totally mystified as to why she needed me to do it for her. Edit: Gud, I'm currently in Massachusetts, but I'm available at a very decent hourly rate. You'll have to cover all travel costs, of course.

Heh. The funny thing to me is that I just watched that episode (pilot ep of Firefly) last night with my housemate, and I had never before picked up on the name of the maneuver they pulled, but I finally heard it clearly last night.
