'Safe'
[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.
Still, cute girl grinned at you! That's always fun.
It is. She reminded me of my friend's little sister who just graduated from high school. Which is where that "too young" feeling came from, even though she could be in her early twenties for all I know.
Aw. My boss is taking me out to lunch today to thank me for all my hard work and overtime the past couple weeks.

Good. You've been working your butt off and I'm glad he sees that.
Sounds like a good day, Polter-Cow.
Yeah, he's publicly thanked me both in e-mails and in this latest meeting. So I feel kind of bad about its not being humanly possible for me to make my last deadline.
And cripes, we're going here.

After working 22 days straight, that is the least he can do. I'm glad your work is not going unnoticed!

DO NOT FEEL BAD!

Well, unless you have an ascension in the works, human is all you have to work with. You'll do your best. No bad feelings.

I can't help it! I'm running behind! There's too much, and there's too little time, and I have too many standards to just half-ass it all and say I'm done. I've got to give it at least a 7/8-ass try.
P-C, I have been where you are, and all I can say is, work 15 hour days without a break for weeks on end, if you must, to get the job done. But do NOT beat yourself up for not doing more than is HUMANLY POSSIBLE. You are human. There are limits. The limits are a little tighter once you get into a 80-100 hor workweek without any breaks, but do not assume that the work would be better or easier if you were doing more or doing it better. If you did more work, there'd be even more work after that. That's all there is.
Signed, bought a house with OT money from last summer.
(was it worth it? Well, I have a house. But that has its own stresses. And honestly, I've never recovered from that work pace, which is one of the reasons I knew I had to move on from this job. I did it, by whatever means necessary, and I did it WELL, but it takes a toll.)
It's just a job. It's not my life. And the anxiety I got for 6 months straight without a break wasn't worth it.
It's just a job.
Felicitations on the Anniversary of your Natal Day, Jaqueline! And many happy returns of the day.
Hugs as needed to P-C, K-bug, Suzi, Cass (oops, too hot for hugs, right?), and any others.
I have a dentist's appointment in (checks watch) 55 minutes. Don' wanna go.
