Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!  

[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.

I temped out of the Cambridge office of Kelly Girl

Hey, Hec. I was a Kelly Girl myself. I even was "Kelly Elite of the Month". Wooo and hooo! I loved temping.

DH is craxy making on many levels. One day that will change, but that day is not yet.

Frail my heart apart and play me a little Shady Grove

You are not obliged to start your career immediately, or even know what it will be.

Heh. I'm still sorting out options for what I want to be when I grow up.

No, not so much.

I guess I completely missed what you meant from the post where you said, "Short version: it's miraculous what a person can ignore," on, then. Sorry.

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

You're inside the bubble. The world is outside it. The bubble's not big.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I worked for Kelly in California. I wonder whatever happened to my green plastic Kelly timecard wallet? I'm sure I tossed it years ago. They weren't made to last.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Honestly, I sometimes have to convince Matt that driving into the city is not a good idea. he shares that craziness with your DH.

Teh only regert that I have is not thinking about grad school sooner. I really don't want to go into debt for what the ass't. director at my library calls "the most expensive union card you can buy " ( an MLS for those that don't know) however, I got a lot of valuble life stuff from working in restaurants and retail -- the meaner side of public ( customer service) service. Really, I am better at my job now because I got used to dealing with overly angry people. Even my worst day at the library is better than an ok day in retail.

Summer jobs in college -- factory work through places like Kelly. I think it upped my tolerence for dull work that was at least clean and unlikely to cause injury

It's like a hampster exercise ball for life!

On the other hand, the physical size of one's personal bubble is bigger than, say, a soap bubble...even if it's a Zubbles bubble...

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

My journal's publishing a paper with an author whose first name is Hellmuth. Naturally I'm reading it as "Hellmouth" every time. The source of all evil is publishing environmental health materials! (And neo-cons the world over nod knowingly.)

Oh, that's what happened. I was thinking thick-big, and didn't even notice your use of "little". I wasn't intentionally contradicting. Again, sorry about that. I was riffing on Spike's "It's a big rock," is all.
