Because the orb is a shiny but evil taunter.
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen
[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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I can't even.
I [heart] JohnSweden (like that's news).
::preens:: The 80s movies discussion got me wanting that as a tag, and it almost all fits. (as a career)
I picked the lock on hers one morning (she didn't come in until ~10) and left a note that said "STOP GOING THROUGH OTHER PEOPLE'S DESKS!! -God" Which pretty much stopped it.
Love. That may work better than trying to get Roberto the security guy to set up a hidden camera, which is the current plan.
It was frosted with ex-lax.
We've considered something like this too. Brilliant execution on her part.

My tiny, private, family-owned company is being bought out by a Big, Public Firm.
Good luck with that! Back in 1996, our medium-sized, family-owned company got bought out by one of the biggest international conglomerates in the publishing business which already owned a bunch of our (smaller) competitors. After much reorganization (which wasn't all the Dutch overlord's fault--we had been going through that in preparation to going on the sales block) and IMO some ridiculously high profit expectations by the Dutch (they wanted us to cover the smaller US companies' profit margins as well as our own), it seems to have settled down into a smoothly running operation ten years later. Of course, it helps that our former CEO is now the conglomerate's CEO (and one of Forbes "most powerful women in business," to boot!).

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
In today's shower news. I have a new soap made by a local guy- it is anise and shay butter. Interesting that my favorite lush soap is olive oil and fennel. the Lush soap is much more subtlly sented

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I have no corporate buyout news, and no new soap. Nor do I have any more Diet Coke, which is vexing me to no end. Chocolate would be good too. Should I haul my lazy ass off the chair and walk over to the Chocolate Moose?

Maria! I have Diet Coke with Lime. The odds of someone buying out my company, which consists only of me, are very small.

Oh beth, you are enabling the expansion of my already considerable girth. I should have some willpower, but I'll have the dark chocolate covered pretzels instead.

There's only 50 people in my company. We're not big by any stretch. If anyone wants to Read All About It, it's the press release on the right about the acquisition: [link]
