Spike's Bitches 29: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Hec, I'm so sorry. I am, upon occasion, naive. That sounds pretty definite though. That so sucks, especially the straight out lie. I'm so sorry.

Man, Hec, that whole situation bites a big one. I hope wherever you go from there has people with a little moral character and some backbone.

Our wings are not tired.
Fuck fuck fuck. This is so unbelievably shitty. And you know what? Especially fuck Nice Boss. What did she think, you were going to go postal on her in her office if she leveled with you?
I don't know how you are about such things, but I was in a similar situation once and I cried when they fired me. I knew it was coming for a good long time so not actually shocked. The person who did the deed deserved to feel like low life scum so I cried. She was way more upset than I was before it was over. Yes, I am that vindictive.

Sorry you are going through so much crap with this Hec. I sure hope you get a better job soon.

I have a Leif story (what else is new), but maybe it should wait for another time.

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.
Hivemind question: How much do I need to wash my new electric blanket before using it?
Sunbeam's instructions say they recommend it, then give some pretty darn finicky care instructions of the sort that our oldish washer and dryer can't really manage. The long and the short of it is that not only will I have a lot of fuss and bother, but also I won't get to use the blanket tonight and possibly not tomorrow night, either, if I do wash it first.

Gud, if Leif story will make us smile, you should tell now.

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
I never bother with that stuff, Andi, but other people may know better.

I'm getting the pig!
Andi, I'm with Brenda. If I purchased it new and it was folded all nice and neat in the bag, then I wouldn't bother with washing first. Sheets, yes, because they're going to be right next to my skin. Electric blanket, nsm.
::waits nervously for someone to wander in with an electric blanket horror story that only came about because it wasn't washed first::
I'd love to read a Leif story, Gud.
