Praying that the outcome of this is what is best for you - that if they see their way through to keeping you, your health will improve to meet the challenges of this work; or that if they must let you go, it is simply a sign from on high that at this time you body needs more rest than you can get while working. Praying also that you be filled with peace and healing.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

[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.

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Jilli, if you haven't already seen these, I feel a bit guilty for tempting you, b/c they're rather spendy (IMO) -- Edward Gorey Bat Earrings.

Art Crawl!!!
BTW, did anyone else watch Top Chef last night?
One of the contestants came up with a project that was very reminiscent of the "Too Much Candy" concept.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's on the Tivo, but I haven't watched it yet.
Oof. I woke up this morning feeling very hungover, except all I drank yesterday was water. Turns out my sinuses were just experimenting with new and exciting ways to make me tired. Yay.
The bat earrings are awesome.

I'm getting the pig!
vw, you can only do as much as you can do. Nothing to be ashamed of if your body just won't allow you to be Wonder Woman.
Today is my favoritest co-workers last day. She's kind of like Monica from Friends with being a clean freak so I wrapped a box of four Mr Clean Magic Erasers (the duo kind), put a big bow on it and gave it to her with her card.
With two going away parties for her in the very near future, I figured I needed to start out small with the good-bye gifts.

What a sweet gift Nicole. I'd love that. Sorry you will be losing your favoritest co-worker...may an even better one be on the way.

I think I'm gonna go away for a while. I'm a mess, and I don't want to inflict that on anyone anymore.

We don't care if you're a mess, vw. Surely you know that. All of us are messes at some point.
