Don't stress about it, vw. If you don't have a gift, which would be totally understandable, that just means that you won't be part of the exchange? Which may be less fun, but means less stress pre holiday party. Since you haven't been in for a while I'm sure everyone will understand. If you have other school stuff to do instead of going to the bookstore, I'd recommend concentrating on that.
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

[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.

What Nora said. Besides, bookstores these days *always* have stuff like that, usually crowded around the register, so if you do decide to do it, it'll be a quick in and out.

Oh, I'm at work (which is at school). So, it would just be a quick little run over. It's not a big deal. I just feel like a big doofus.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Yeah, I was thinking those little boxes of things they have at B&N ("little boxes of things" -- could I vague that up a little?) would be perfect office gifts.

ION, I no longer have a phone at my desk. This cracks me up.

I no longer have a phone at my desk.
That's awesome! I often wish I didn't have one at my desk.
Poor Nora. Some days, I hate doing things for other people. (See above, about wanting to get rid of the phone at my desk.)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
So basically, sparky wants vw's desk? Hee.heheheheeheheheh.hee.
I don't know why I find that so funny.

I would happily give up my phone.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Speaking of desks, Ikea just delivered all the furniture for my new office. Yahoo! I gotta see if I can get our handyman in here to put it together sometime this weekend. I also have to find someone to put a door on the room. It's a lot harder than you might expect to get an interior door installed. Everyone at the door places I have called wants me to measure it myself and I DON"T KNOW HOW. I mean, I know how to measure, but do I measure opening or door inself or floor to inside of jamb or what? I am flummoxed. I am going to get a cool door with a glass insert, so that comforts me when I get frustrated.
