I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I used to refer to myself as my boss's bitch, but I think that's not the same thing.

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

I do not in anyway need that plane.

We can make it pink. And sparkly. And paint monkeys on it.

Coding and Sleeping

While at a Toy-R-Us for their going out of business sale and spending money that probably should not have been spent (but getting cool and heavily discounted stuff for the kids), I saw the Hello Kitty DVD player. Wow is that pink.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Huh. I just got a letter from the landlord asking if we want to buy the house we're renting.

On the one hand, great location.

On the other hand, we were thinking of going to something with, say, another half a bathroom.

On the other other hand, priced below anything else in the neighborhood.

And again I say, huh.

edit: way below, I think.

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

Which reminds me of the term work-wife or work-husband. Would anyone here say they have one?

That term bugs the shit out of me.

(Which is to say, yes.)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

What about a work Beavis?

Amych, bathrooms can be added. Location can not be changed.

If you can, go for it.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I don't know if I'd characterize us as work spouses, but my company's long-suffering DP manager and I definitely vent to each other about work stress and cow-workers more than with other folks around the office.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I have a class-wife. Although I do see her from time to time after school. We often refer to ourself as "the same person"

I just got her start on Buffy. She should be watching Passion tonight. She was already a Firefly fan.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

not even pink and sparkly with monkeys painted on it make me want it, much less need it.

The Hello Kitty electronics are cute when I see them in stores, but the thought of having them in my house? nsm.

I got an earlier flight back from my business trip. Got in 5 hours earlier. BEST THING THIS WEEK.

If you have one and hate the term, what term would you use instead?

I think I had a work husband for a while at my last gig. I say so mostly because I ended up in the position of worrying about his diet and general mental boundaries. And he seemed more than okay with it.
