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.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Yes. Thanks again for the aid for the social skills deficient.

Yes to the going with "Small World". No to the "afraid he thought I knew about the connection". I undertand your wondering if I was really clueless enough not to know what to say next. Yes Virginia, there really are people that find this whole "dealing with other human beings" thing hard.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Ooh, they printed my Overheard!

Remarkably similar to Emmett's damning review of the movie.

Um. I don't get it. What movie?

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

This looks terribly impractical, but I kind of want to take a road trip just as an excuse to buy one.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Going back a way, about coffee makers - a friend (a VERY good friend) send me this for Christmas. It is soooo much fun! but a PITA to clean up.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I have been stuck in editing HELL. client supplied text for THEIR book, I have to send back with our comments (in a nice way).

Text that consultant 1 wrote for us that CEO doesn't like has to go back and then get re-reviewed, but no one is sure how to fix it and we need to get it to client today for approval.

Text that consultant #2 wrote for us that is just weak and that I need to re-work because we have stopped working with consultant #2.

All different topics.

Need engaging, but not salesy. Writing that covers a topic but doesn;t get too specific so as to exclude people.

I HATE WRITING.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I HATE WRITING.

Aw.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Ok, back me up on this.

When you call someone's office, is the first thing you say, "To whom am I speaking?" Or do you actually say, "Hello, this is ______ from ______, and this is my issue." ?

Isn't just asking "Who is this" rude? Cause my first response was just almost, "You called me. Who the fuck is THIS?"

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

It's totally rude. I do always answer the phone by saying my name though, and it irks me when people don't.
