Word. On the street is one thing -- you can't ban rude people from the streets. (Unfortunately.) But there's no reason you should have to put up with that at work.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
At work? Oh, that is of the ick and the uck and the bordering on seriously crossing the line, if not right over and past it.
You're a good, kind person, creative, witty, good to your parents and a loving partner to Pete, who puts a lot of energy into being generous and supportive of your friends and deliciously enriching the visual surroundings of every person lucky enough to gaze upon you. I can't think what else your project manager expects you to offer the world, or why your project manager thinks s/he knows what Jesus expects of you -- really, you're already easily in the 98th percentile for all of humanity. I can't imagine any God looking upon you and not feeling fond and proud and a little amazed.
Which, incidentally, goes for all the Buffistas.

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

God, looking at Jilli: I did that? Cool.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Per-zactly.
Kimono for your 4G iPod.
I'm very sad that it doesn't have the sleeves or the obi.

I can understand praying to be like Jilli; praying for her, NSM.

My sister's doctor offered to pray for her. My sister, being acutely non-confrontational, declined to file any complaints, but it made her uncomfortable enough that she stopped going to the doctor (it's a pain in the rear to get a new one in her plan, so when I say stopped going to the doctor, I mean stopped going to any doctor, which is bad when you're an overweight smoker in her mid-40s).
I don't recall people offering to pray for me out of the blue, but I also didn't have a single stranger pat my belly when I was pregnant, so I think I just give off a "stay away!" vibe.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I understand praying for people, even -- like Aimee said, not praying they'll find Jesus or whatever, just praying that things are OK for them.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

This is one of the great, underpublicized benefits to the iPod! "You can preach for five stops and end every conversation in this car but as long as I have these white headphones, you don't exist."

Ooh! I should totally get pregnant to test if mine's solid.
Except -- mine's so good that getting pregnant is rendered complicated.
