No. No matter who you were, really.
Even if he waived the $500,000 "natural" fee?
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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

For Vincent Gallo, most especially. But really, the honour is all technical.

Am hiding from annual meeting. Boss is attempting to get us to stop working and join meeting in progress. Got to work early this morning. V. early. Have not eaten in almost 24 hours. Have doctor's appointment this afternoon.
Don't know if I can handle the stupid meeting tricks between then and now. Whyyyy can't I just stay at my desk and work?

See, if an employee has to ask this, the boss is doing something wrong.

My tolerance for the kind of corporate jollying that goes on during the annual meeting is very, very low.
I'm a punk-ass misanthrope. I tend to hate almost anything compulsory.

Still hiding. Boss has gone ahead. I'm wondering how long I can "malinger" at my desk slamming through work before someone comes to fetch me.

A former CEO of Apple used to suffer from anxiety and/or depression (I forget which) - he would often hide under his desk to avoid dealing with people.
Hey, if it's good enough for the CEO of Apple....

I'm doing one thing I don't like very much (working diligently at my crappy job) and one thing I hate (going to the doctor) in a concentrated effort to avoid this thing. I think hiding under my desk would be going a little too far, since the meeting at least will have free food.

ita, how are your Legolas knives holding up? Do you use them for anything or just display them? I have a Sting from what I believe is the same collection as the knives, and I'm wondering if I can continue my habit of snowman-slaughter with Sting or if I should baby it and leave it on its hanger.
