I'm thirty-two. Detective Munch turned 66 this year. I think I should pace myself a little bit.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

[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.

Well, I figure that Hec will eventually get to find out just exactly how evil his workplace actually is. Sorry, dude.
Hope vw & JenP will be able to attend the F2F, so that the group may shower them with healing affection. And pirate gear. Arrr.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I was just idly wondering if Hec's source was trying to get him to do something stupid/burn some bridges for either personal gain or just plain maliciousness.
Pffft. Hec's source is the person who once gave him a taxidermied mouse Hamlet as a totally out-of-the-blue Happy Thursday! present. She's malice-free.

Our wings are not tired.
Could be out of the loopy, could be delayed for a month longer than anticipated. Either way getting out is required for any hope of sanity.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Is it possible that they are trying to keep you on for a few more months while the new guy learns the job?
Could be. I did point out to them that the recruiting assistant was going to be on her honeymoon for most of April and we'd be especially short-handed.
What is the timeline you got from your source?
End of the month. Month not specified. March or April. But I was pretty sure it was March since (a) they had me calculate my vacation balance through March, (b) end of the month lands on end of the paycycle which is convenient from an HR perspective; (c) we're moving to a new floor in a couple weeks and why bother moving me to cut me loose?
I don't know what the fuck's happening now.

Sorry things are so up in the air Hec.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
If she's really nice, I'm voting that she's out-of-the-loopy, and probably that she's been kept out of the loop, for plausible deniability, in just such a situation.
This would be my guess. I'm so sorry this is dragging out, David.

Mostly lurking...
Oh, Hec, that totally sucks.
I just dropped my classes. I know, I know. I decided to do this like two weeks ago, but I've been putting it off. I'm all sad.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Plausible deniability is also a definite option. I really don't think she'd lie to my face in response to a direct question.
