No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

[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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Is Olivia giving you any more sleep? I was lurking either here or in LJ, and saw you'd been having a really tough time.

She's doing ok, considering she's just over six weeks. Owen didn't really sleep well until 10-12 weeks. It's just been harder because I have to stay up all day with Owen (who is trying really hard to give up his nap). She mostly sleeps at night, but it's still only in 3 hour blocks. Her big sleeping takes place during the day.

I've got Owen going to the sitter twice a week now until Olivia starts sleeping better.

It is so bizarre how it just happens so fast, once they make up their minds about it. I'll tell you, reading happens in pretty much the same way. They flirt with it for a long time, and then BANG!

It really is bizarre. Kids are weird.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Kids are weird. Or possibly our culture is weird that we don't anticipate the weirdness better.

Happy birthday, Mal.

Thanks for the job-ma. It's gotten to this - I'm going to get pushed before I have time to jump. Sucks, but there it is. I don't think I'll get anything happy in the severence either, except cashing out my 25 vacation days.

Not sure of the timing, but soon. (It's like a suspense movie, without the entertainment value.)

Mostly lurking...

Oh, David, that really sucks. I am so sorry. I hope you are able to find something soon.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Aw, hell, Hec. I'm sorry.

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

Oh David, that really sucks. 'Ma to you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That sucks, Hec.

Sorry to hear that Hec.

Here's hoping that Matt's interview goes very well, leads to something wonderful, and is just the beginning of a new era of good jobs for Buffistas with bad jobs.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Aw, David, I'm very sorry. I hope you find a new and non-soul-killing job ASAP.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

On the plus side, I haven't spent my book advance (because I haven't gotten it yet). And all of my co-workers who were smart enough to leave before me will give me good references.

If I only had a brain...

I'm so very sorry, Hec.
