Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

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.

Nora, you really didn't screw up, honest. You got the job! Asking for a pay increase and being turned down smarts, yes, but still! You got the job.

ION, omg no motivation for work. I had a fabulous weekend (hanging out with Cass! Dressing up in pretty clothes and watching pretty people, some with fire!), AND we pick up the new kitties tomorrow. Against that, the will to be a productive worker bee is dying a lingering death.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Thanks, y'all. You're right, and I am getting more YAY JOB rather than BOO POOR NEGOTIATION SKILLS!

Just a bit of a pile-on day, and thanks for helping to get my balance on this.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

RAQ! Stop that! Ouch!

move out and draw fire

KITTIES!!!!

Apropos of kitties, sort of, I had The Blue Planet on and noticed one of the producers is named John Ruthven. I wonder if that's pronounced Rivven too, like a St. John/Sinjin thing?

And I love this motivational poster: [link]

I'm hungry. Will someone feed me?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I'm hungry. Will someone feed me?

I will, though you may be quite a big hungrier by the time you get here or I get there. Can you wait another 6 hours?

Yeah, maybe not. Guess I better go find something.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Nora, are they *blind*, that they can't see, recognize, and recompense the magnificence of you? Seriously, I'm sorry about the refusal, but good for you for addressing the issue, and yes, looks like they do want you around, but the budget is the issue.

Raq, are you *blind*? Seriously, ow. And poor you. And, f'gosh sakes, be careful.

Yay on Kristin for finishing grading!

Jilli!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

The 14th? The freakin' 22nd? Oh, my dear Lord. When do you go back to school, though, cause I start on the 14th of August, and kids start the 22nd.

And yo, that reminds me, tomorrow, I need to work on curriculum mapping. Joy.

I moved all my computer stuff back from the bedroom to the sunroom, and my back is much happier for it.

What is even happening?

Our kids are getting out the 23 (I think, whatever the Friday is of that week). We don't go back 'til after Labor Day, usually. Last September, the superintendent made noises that we'd start before Labor Day this year, but I haven't heard anything, since.

I'd rather it, this way. It seems to me that early September here is more likely to be nice than late June.
