Okay, now *I* want to fly up there and punch him in the crotch.
Seriously, there's no call for that kind of jackasshattery.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

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.

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

I really wish salespeople did a little teeny bit of research before cold-calling me. This is a research institution. Run by the feds. This is a helpdesk number. You don't really think I'm going to transfer your call, do you? Also? Get a better phone service. I had to ask you to repeat yourself so many times before I figured out it was a sales call, I almost hung up on you for the hell of it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Seriously, there's no call for that kind of jackasshattery.
Seriously.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
What Jess and the others said about your co-worker, Steph. Feh on him.
Where's Juliana or Vortex or meara?
Just say "oh, I --" stop abruptly, smile enigmatically and say "nothing special" What their minds will come up with is FAR more exciting than anything you could actually do.
See, I knew Vortex would be able to help.

I thought Bush's behavior to the German chancellor was more about power and latent sexism than anything sexual. Creepy stuff, but as someone upthread (apologies, but I didn't write down who said this) pointed out, it's typical animal dominance behavior.

It occurs to me that Bush has never worked with any women other than, say, Condi Rice, who is that weirdo who fantasizes about her boss and welcomes what she perceives as affectionate touches.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Trudy, the kid was clearly not a baby, which, to me, is a lot of the wtf?

Tep, I'm sorry. He's just feeling defensive because you called him on something and wants to put it back on you. It doesn't have anything to do with you, it has everything to do with his own issues.
The least of which is Jessica flying down there and punching him in the crotch, it seems.

Because books.
I feel ugly (like, ugly-spirited, not physically ugly) and stupid and bigoted thanks to that conversation.
You are so. very. much. not.
Also, what everyone else. I'm itching to slap someone today, and I think he would be perfect for it.
