The only reason I can deal with my open plan office is that I've got a corner cube with two empty cubes on either side. So I've got space, if not exactly privacy.
Mal: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous. Simon: Yes, I'm very proud.

[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.

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

I am SO envious.
There is no wall between me and the person on the other side of my monitor. There is a wall that extends 8" past the end of my desk that separates me from the problem-child writer who is seated next to me. I just keep silently repeating "Only two more months on this contract. Only two more months."

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Sympathies, Jilli. Open-plan offices are on my personal list of EVIL.

Ellie has more clothes than she can ever wear, but still I want to buy more. eBay might be a good solution for that.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I have a sudden desire to play "I'm smooshing your head between my fingers".
It's times like this that I am glad my office is tucked away in a corner where not a lot of people go.

Oh thank the Gods. I sent the following email to my previous employer re: letter of recommendation:
What a shame that companies are forced to implement such restrictive policies due to our increasingly litigious environment. While I understand the rationale, the work that I did at Company X is such a nice complement to the Masters for which I'm applying. I wonder if there might be a difference if the letter is for an academic (rather than employment) recommendation. Would you mind if I contacted someone in HR to find out the specifics of the policy? I don't want to burden you with having to do any research on my behalf.
Having been out of school for almost 10 years, the workplace recommendations are an important part of my application. I'd love to be able to include one from you since you were such a mentor for me and I learned so much during my time there. Anything you might be able to do would be truly appreciated.
Thanks so much for your time - I know how busy you are. If it turns out that you can write the letter, I can provide you with sample letters and other information that would hopefully make it an easier task.
To which she replied:
I will forward your email to my contact in HR to see if they will make any exceptions.
Yay! It's not another no! Please send all the write!the!damned!letter!~ma that you can spare.
