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.

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

Which is to say, yes.

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.

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

If you can, go for it.

Kinda what I'm thinking. But also scary and Not In Line With The (as yet unplanned) Plan.

I don't think I've ever heard of a work spouse. If I'd heard it in the wild, I probably would've guessed it referred to a situation of spending way too much time with them (as opposed to w/real spouse), and not to being close buds.

That's another "huh" for the day, I guess.

The sheer pinkness kinda scared me.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I have a work wife. It was an arranged marriage. My manager thought that we would be a good work match. She insisted on doing things like making sure we roomed together when we went to conferences and such. It's been a happy marriage. But, I also cheat on her with my work mistress. And that's the most fun.

The DVD player needed to be more white with pink highlights, like Hello herself.

I found this work spouse def:

I am fascinated with the Work Husband, Work Wife relationship. By definition it is a situation where two people (usually a man and a woman) who work so well together, spend so much time together and do so much for each other they act like husband and wife. These two people usually never speak to each other outside of work but in that environment they are inseparable and will always defend the other in all confrontations there.

I wasn't quite that married, but it was a bit of a case of "we can pick on each other but you can't." His work older sister would fit too.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

That is an interesting definition. I definitely think my work wife and I are like that. Maybe not inseparable, but definitely got each others back in a tight spot. And we don't socialize outside of work, which I never thought about until now. As opposed to my work mistress, who I hang out with outside of work all the time.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Never heard the term before. I think I probably have a work wife, except that we are friends outside of work as well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oooh, that sounds exciting, amych.

Yay msbelle!

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 have one of those, although we are generally BFF. But people are always calling us by the other's name.
