Windsparrow, that sounds like a tough situation. I don't suppose there is any way to say to the BossLady, "You caught me at a bad time yesterday when you brought this up. I didn't mean to sound so shirty, but I have really tried with this person, and used many different approaches to try and get through to him." Then you could ask if there is someone else who could take a stab at training him, or, if she pushes the meeting with the two of you, tell her that you'd like to go over what will be said before hand so you can try and have some control over content.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

[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.

You didn't go with the wireless baby?
We tried, but he seems to be incompatible with 802.11g and we didn't want an unsecured baby, where anyone could warbaby in.

I'm talking to Kara, and she wants to know if she can get me another mean kittie.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Her behavior sounds age appropriate to me, Susan. I wouldn't worry.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Send me the info on the store and the cashier and what happened and I'll write a letter to the mangement telling them I was in line behind you and I was appalled.
VW, you should totally let Sparky do this. She does good mad.

Question for the masses -- my kitchen sink has been stopped up for 2 days now. The landlord was supposed to send over a plumber yesterday, and he never showed. (We called her last weekend when the sink was still slow, after it became obvious that Draino wasn't doing the job.)
If he doesn't show up this afternoon, are we justified in calling someone ourselves and sending her the bill? Because this is fucking ridiculous.

I think so, Jessica. You shouldn't have to be without a kitchen sink.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

This may sound obvious, but have you tried a plunger? (It took me two days to think of that the last time I had a drain plugged, and 2 seconds to fix the problem once I did.)
