Nilly, when that happens to me, I go to bed. There really is a point where you're doing more damage than good.
Angel: Is that what you think you are--a hero? Spike: Saved the world didn't I? Angel: Once. Talk to me after you've done it a couple more times.

when that happens to me, I go to bed
Bed is a few streets away. With going down stairs and pressing on elevator buttons and telling good night to the guards at the front of the university. Oh, and putting lots of papers into my bag, in the correct order. Right now it seems too complicated. Posting seems easier. Maybe I need to convince myself I have something really fun waiting for me at home?
By the way, congratulations on the new job! When are you supposed to start it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cock-blocking. Or, by analogy, pussy-blocking.
Perk threw out the cock-blocking, and pussy blocking -- there must be something rhymier. Well, something that's not cunt shunting, anyway.

Rhymier?
Clit-sitter. Bush-rusher.
Y'know, anywhere else this'd be highly offensive spamming...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
People still didn't e-mail me all that I've asked. I need to improvize and blah-blah my way through subjects I have zero knowledge about.
Poor Nilly! At least when that happens to me at work, that's the hardest part of my job. It's not like I actually have to do the actual work of the project, too.
ita, I refuse to endorse any of the female anatomy terms for cock blocking, sorry.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
with Jesse on this. some girl steps in and steals the attention of the guy you were warming to? She's clearly a skanky whore, let's leave it at that and not develop an anatomical term. If a guy tries to push the guy you were macking on away - I say it is up to you to tell him to fuck off.
Had a lovely day with friends, eating out in parks and walking around and museuming and then more food out. good times.
My house is kinda a half disaster, but I can't deal with it now.

Nilly, my last day at the old job is this coming Friday, then I take a week off, then start the new job the Monday following.

Oh, just because she's a skanky whore or he's an attention-grabbing dimwit -- doesn't mean we can't have a verb.
I think I'm just head over heels in love with the term cock-blocking (I'm easy -- swayed by a rhyme and a couple hard consonants). I'm just sad I can't do it (or can I? Can I cock block Rick when he's trying to get with Sally? It's his cock, right? It's me that can't be cock blocked)

I think women can cock-block other women. It's too good a term to let the guys keep it to themselves.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Crap, Betsy, that's awful. Sending recovery-ma to you and DH.
