Ugh, Betsy, I'm sorry. Here's hoping they start working again fast.
Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[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.
Oh, Betsy. I'm sorry you're feeling wretched.
Jessica! That is very, very lame. Are you going to say anything at all to your boss? I think you should, if you can manage it in a light-hearted, humorously self-deprecating way.
So, since you & Betsy are feeling low, I give you a distracting link of shiny! Reproduction Victorian gown & top hat in black satin and black/copper skull brocade. Ooooh. Look at the pretty.
(Edited to make the clicky-link work.)
Jilli that is gorgeous. Wow.
I think my office should chip in and buy it for me.
jilli, insent to profile addy
Jessica, that's crappy! There's no way to win there because you feel bad with no celebration, but if you say something, it can seem so forced.
Betsy, I hope the drugs back in for you. I know what you mean about being dependant on drugs, but if it makes life happy, it's worth it.
next time that you're asked to chip in, say "oh, I thought that we had stopped doing birthdays since we didn't do anything for mine last month"
Wow, Jilli. That's beautiful.
Betsy, I hope the drugs kick back in soon. And I, too, sympathize with the not-wanting-to-be-dependent thing.
Jessica, I glare at your office for you. Wankers.
I think my office should chip in and buy it for me.
They should, yes.
Because I am *that* predictable, I emailed the lady who made it and said "Sooo, how much for you to duplicate that hat?" She quoted me an insanely reasonable amount, so I'm getting a hat in red/black skull brocade.

That is a very good response. Vortex is wise.

Bwah! That's perfect.
