Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

[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.

I think that Dean is supposed to be about 26 which would make Sam - 22?

How old was Dean when their mom died? 4 or 5?

hmm. I just found out that a co-worker's religion bars the celebration of holidays, and thus they co-worker is offended when birthday celebrations are discussed/planned at work.

What religion is this? I desperately want to ask but I think that's illegal or something.

Is it Jehovah's Witnesses?

My cousin has an officemate that is a Jehovah's Witness and her office has run into the same thing.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Jehovah's Witness? I know they cannot say the pledge or participate in birthday celebrations at school (or at least couldn't when I was in 2nd grade)

hm, maybe... I don't know. But it sounds like a possibility, if you know of a similar situation.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Man, I am a stone bitch.

I get back to work today for the first time since my granddad died. I put all my stuff down, shuffle in the kitchen to make some oatmeal, and when I come back to my desk, Incompetent!Boss is waiting with a piece of paper.

He doesn't say hello, doesn't ask how I am, etc. The first words out of his mouth to me are, "Well, we're behind on [xyz], and so your top priority today has to be [abc]...."

And I interrupted, because I am a STONE BITCH, and said, "Thanks, really, for the condolences on my dead grandfather."

Which stopped him cold, and he blinked at me for a minute, and then said, "Uh. Sorry. Now, back to what I was saying...."

I'm not an evil needy demon; I just expect the bare minimum of politeness from people. (Though, now that I think about it, I wasn't polite to Incompetent!Boss, so I'm a bit of a hypocrite. In addition to being a stone bitch.)

It's a damn carnival here, I tell ya. Every freaking day is a carnival.

[sets watch to see how quickly Scola posts a job listing for me....]

You're not a hypocrite or a stone bitch. I'm cheering you for standing up to the asshattery. Whoo-hoo! Comeuppance!

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

I've become predictable, haven't I?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Wow. Incompetent!Boss is really raising the bar for asshattery. What a wanker.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Stony, possibly, but not bitchy. Incompetent!Boss desperately needed a single cold slap across the face, and you delivered.
