The situation does kind of remove that valuable aspect of b.org, doesn't it? Also the "today was too beautiful to go in to work, so I'm playing hooky—my clueless boss will never know!" option.
Angel: I can stay in town as long as you want me. Buffy: How's forever? Does forever work for you?

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

What is even happening?
That leads to scandal.

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?
WHEEEE!!!!!!! Yay, Kristen!!!!! Congratulations, tv-writer-woman!
And, congrats, Tim, for getting a nifty new writer!

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
Can I make a list of things I want, now?
Okay. So I'll need a lifetime drive-on for the lot, a parking spot, oh, and I'll need vet the new assistant so s/he understands how important I am. None of this, "...and you are?" when I call.
My favorite is, "Who may I say is calling?"
"Allyson."
".....from?"
"His personal life?"
Heh.

Where's the darned IMDB entry? This is the internet age, people. I want instantly accessible information at my fingertips.

from his personal life
I called my mother at work (after I was well into adulthood) one day, and someone new answered the phone. She asked if she could tell my mum who was calling. I said, "Please tell her it's her daughter." She said, "Can I have your name, please?"

You never know... I've had my father ask "who is this?" after I opened a phone call with "Hi, Dad." And I'm an only child.

What is even happening?
Heh. I'm an only child, too. Maybe our parents share a brain, as well. I'm pretty sure I got that from my father more than once, but then again, his hearing was damaged when he was in the Navy. My mother has gotten my middle name wrong at least once (which is her own mother's name).

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My brother calls my cousin John and always gives his name as a sports figure of some sort. His secretary recognizes his voice now, so she'll buzz John and say "It's your cousin, Ty Cobb."
