[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.
Emily, are you flying out, today?
Also, fie on Hec's work. I've been there, and it fucking sucks. It sucks more when the 12+ hour days are due to other people's incompetance, because of the rage.Yep. Twelve+ hour days are exhausting. Rage is exhausting. Put them together and ugh.
Ayup. Need to be packing. Just... so much to put together.
Here's the thing: when people don't respond to voice-mail messages, or to repeated e-mails, then I assume they're pissed at me and hoping I'll take a hint from their pointed ignoring of me.
And since I don't know what I could have done to piss these particular people off, it's driving me batshit, and I'm likely to say FUCK OFF to them the next time they actually get in touch with me.
[Note: it's not anyone here; I wouldn't be that passive-aggressively tacky.]
It's possible, of course, that I'm insane and overreacting. (Me? Overreact? Surely not!) And yet, I'm feeling all HULK SMASH towards about 3 people right now. I haven't done anything really offensive in a LONG time -- I have no idea why people are avoiding me.
It's like I've been MARCIE'd by life.

That's how I feel, so you're not alone. I have had people actually tell me, "I was hoping you'd get the hint!" So a perky "Fuck you!" is often the best response.
Of course they could be me ...and forget to respond- or not yet have the right answer- so there is no response yet. But OTH , if you greeted me with a hardy FUCK YOU i would know why...
If you have too much of a personal stake in an investigation you're fucked. Good investigators can't care about their cases like we would...they don't. (/Everything I Know I Learned From David Simon)
ABC's retread/remake/update of The Night Stalker has a young hip guy as Karl Kolchak.
Perhaps it's not a remake, but a Young Kolchak? Okay, so that makes it even more wrong but still, they could have thought about Kolchak as a teenager who drives around in a van with his friends and dog.
Ruh-roh.

With flashbacks/forwards to Old Kolchak with an eyepatch?
I'm horrible about listening to/returning voicemails. I just don't even think to check for messages half the time, and I've been known to let my phone die and not notice for days. And sometimes, especially when I'm depressed, talking on the phone seems like so much more effort than I can handle.
But that's not a defense, of me or of Tep's people. It's rude, and it's not cool, and it's something I need to do better at.
