Ick. Yeah, only Song flies into Worcester. (Although Providence is actually slightly closer, if you're already driving.)
Presence of bosses negate chances of lunch/dinner/whatever, I take it?
Angel: Yeah, I never told anyone about this, but I-I liked your poems. Spike: You like Barry Manilow.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I hope it passes quickly, with no loss of job, Tom.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Maybe not! I will check the actual conference schedule and get back to you guys if I can get away. It's not til mid-Sept, so plenty of time.

Hope everything works out, Tom.
One of the more amusing dumb criminal stories I heard was from my hometown from about 15 years ago. Apparently, some guy decided to break into a bunch of cars that were parked in a street in his subdivision and steal radios/CDs/whatever was lying around. Then, he decided to walk home with his loot. The police caught him the next morning. How, do you ask? Well, all they had to do was follow the trail his feet left in the snow that had fallen just before he went on his little crime spree.

What is even happening?
Oh, Tom. May it pass quickly, and smoothly for you.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Good luck, Tom.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Keep you head down, Tom.
My hair is fairly short right now and I'm thinking something retro with little curls in the back and squished down bangs for my sister's wedding. I guess I should curl it all and then squish appropriately... but how do you make the wee ones?
Pin curls, darling. Use a setting lotion, wind it around your finger (but don't twist the hair while you're doing it), then use an alligator clip. You can let it air dry, or use a blowdryer on a low setting with a diffuser on.
If you do standing pin curls they'll fuller and rounder. If you do standard pin curls (the curl is pinned flat against the head) then it'll be more of a tight retro wave.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Ooh. If you want curled tendrils, you use the setting lotion and wind a strand around a pencil. --Ah. I keep forgetting your hair is short now. Short and cute! So yeah, pin curls.
Tom, I hope it gets resolved with no job repurcussions.

You know what is evil in this weather? An infected pore (ok maybe that's a zit) right on the braline. Fucking ow.
Watch it. I have a friend who thought she had an infected zit on the braline. She ended up having surgery on Saturday (less than a week after it was discovered and it had grown to 10cm x 6 cm and over 4 cm deep), and is still in the hospital on mega pain meds. Very, very bad.
I think I need to move to Alaska.
I agree, Sophia, totally.
Where libkitty is, it's quite mild. Where I'm from, NSM. I've experienced 95 degree weather (and no one has A/C), and -60 degree weather (at that point, even plugging in your car does no good).
Which just means that you should move to where I live, Sophia (or any ot her Buffistas out there!). Fairbanks is a great place, but as juliana indicates, not ideal for someone looking for mild temps. Also, the darkness in the winter can drive you mad. Literally.
As Kathy points out, though, the best waves are in the winter, so that means surfers with ice hanging from their wetsuits and occasionally getting hit in the head by a big chunk of ice.
