OK, I accept that she had to bring her infant in to work with her. It's only making occasional baby noises. I do object, though, to the squeaky toy being used to distract said infant. I do not come to work to listen to squeaky toys. Some of the people are squeaky enough.
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

[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.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
EpicTangent hasn't added any public photos to Flickr yet.
Thanks, Tom. I'll head back over and fiddle with it some more.
Somebody try 'er out now por favor?

meara, would you like me to pick up anything for you?
Aww, that's very sweet Toddson! I think I'm covered--my boss is awesome, and sent my friend-who-is-temping-there-for-the-summer home yesterday so that she could take me to the doctor and get my prescriptions and stuff. Which was awesome, cause the state I was in yesterday I SO wouldn't have made it anywhere, I would've just been a shivering whimpering wreck. Instead, I have meds, I have wonton soup, and I have everyone at work being told that I sound like a chipmunk. :)
And the 7-11 being downstairs reminds me how I don't want to move out of this apartment, man...

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
They work! Yay Epic!

Steph...whoa! Petey and Bartleby could be related...seriously.
Note the Hey!-I'm-Not-Fat, Here, feel my muscles"-ness of him here
and the chuckleheadedness of him here
and his most earnest of "Got any snacks?" looks here
and finally, Bartleby and his best friend Bob (nee: The Builder) in all their Butch and Sundance-ness here

Thanks, Maria!
I will at some point in the near future (she says optimistically) add in some F2F photos (from abt 2 years ago - she says sheepishly). And for any who remember that I was thinking of giving my hair to Locks of Love, I finally did it last Dec, and I have some before and afters from that to add. Oh yeah, and shots from Universal Studios last Summer (with Serenity on the Daily Shooting List!).
Shoot, how can I convince my employers to pay me for that. If I could do it during working hours I'd be done in no time...

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Love the chucklehead pic. So funny.

Ugh. Squeaky noises drive me bats, connie, whether in toys for tots or dogs, or coming from the tots or dogs themselves for that matter. Sorry.
The whole noble-title-as-name thing earlier in the thread sprang to mind when I came across someone named [common_firstname] Earl [common_lastname]. I've seen "Earl" as a name so much that I totally forget that it used to be a title along the lines of "Count".

Beej, Bartleby is adorable! I don't think I'd seen any pictures before.
One of my dad's old dogs was a cross between an Irish Wolfhound and a Doberman/Bouvier De Flandres mix. BIG dog, who looked like a brillo-coated mutant hyena. She was given up by someone who was trying to breed a Big-Ass Scary Guard Dog. Things, however, did not go as the chuckleheaded breeder planned: whenever the Big Scary Hyena Dog barked, she sounded like a Yorkie on helium.
