and P-C is going to have an amazing lunch
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

[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.

One monkey is sitting with the gargoyle (who is reading his book) on the hearth, and the other is keeping me company here at work. I will give an automatic "A" to the first student of mine who comes in to my office, recognizes the monkey and quotes a line from Wonderfalls.
The pair actually came on Friday, but we were already on our way out of town for the weekend -- so my thanks were delayed!

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
But I had a choice, and I knew how damaging that kind of workload and anxiety was, and I learned from it, and applied what I learned with how I want to live my life.
Wise, wise words, Nora. I made a similar choice several years ago and have never regretted it. I get that not everyone has this choice, but if you're lucky enough to have it, you should take it.
American culture is so work-oriented. I wish we had a little more respect for the importance of leisure; I really think that our country would be a helluva a lot less uptight if it did.

Many happy returns of the day, JZ!
Happy anniversary, Sparky and Mr. Sparky!
And, 36 can't possibly be old, because I refuse to believe that 39 is, and that's older, so there.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Happy Anniversary Sparky1 and Sparky2! That celebratory weekend sounds wonderful.

Wise, wise words, Nora. I made a similar choice several years ago and have never regretted it. I get that not everyone has this choice, but if you're lucky enough to have it, you should take it.
One thing I like about this new job is that I was very frank about why I wanted it, and what was important to me and expounded on my priorities of home life and school, and everyone I talked to (which was about 8 people of various levels - from the director of the entire department to another admin) was like, hell yeah. As the admin said when I asked about OT and getting everything done: "if it takes more than 40 hours a week on a regular basis to get what I need to get done, done, it's not a problem with me; it's a problem with the job and how the work is being distributed. And that's what needs to be fixed."
Of course, I was afraid that I came off as lazy sounding but I guess I didn't.
