Timelies all!
Stopped at the library after work today. Did my usual come-out-with-more-books-than-I-returned thing.(Hi. I'm Sheryl, and I'm addicted to books.)
Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

It's a righteous bitter, if you are...
hrm. I can't really call my bitterness righteous as it was so long ago I don't even think about it anymore. Certainly I retain no strong feelings about him. I have no business being bitter about it anymore. I just, er, get pinged by certain subtle behaviors I guess.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But guys with girlfriends are allowed to make new female friends, right? Otherwise my social life is sorely capped.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Whoops. I have my cranky pants showing today.
The reason: The property management signs for all packages here and we pick them up from the office. There was a break-in Saturday and some clothes I ordered are gone. I checked online yesterday that, yes, they were delivered and were signed for and then called the girl at the office to let her know. She said that the manager would call me today to deal with it.
No call. I call them. Another girl, very nice, there says the manager is on the phone but will call me right back. I ask what I need ready to "start the process" of getting the items replaced.
"We aren't doing that."
*dead* *fucking* *silence*
The hell?

The hell, exactly. Are you going to go ask them, in a very calm tone, what, exactly, they ARE going to do about your property that they lost?

I am a firm believer that men and women can be friends. It's the people who are otherwise attached and supposed to be monogamous and then start dating other people...

Yoinks, Cass!

Ha! Don't worry ita, I don't pass any judgment on your social life. Or on Allyson's for that matter. The thing is, I wouldn't blink at DH going to lunch with a female friend because I know *him* and know that it would be just that. I was just, well, pinged by the fact that Allyson found this guy's behavior a bit confusing.

I can call the catalog and see what their policy is but the package was delivered and signed for... And I believe that the property management needs to be the one to fix this. Now, please.

But there's no evidence that Allyson's not-date is doing anything of the sort, is there?
That was what I was wondering.
Going for dinner seems to have much more social significance than I ever give it. It's all fraught and shit.
Okay, time to put in my end-of-business eBay bids and head off to the second job.
