Goddamn Life Lessons!
You clearly didn't get the family gene for bossiness and manipulation.
Oh, I so very didn't. I got the mutant gene for complacence and doormattitude.
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

[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 am such the ray of sunshine. Hmmm, maybe this is why people run away from me at cocktail parties...

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

It's more like the gene for caring and wanting everyone to be happy. Unfortunately, you let your gene carry you into making others happy at your own expense.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Also, Hec, I saw your post and appreciate it but don't have a good response.
Good response!
Um, now I'm wondering where my link links to, because for me it links to squirrels fighting with lightsabers.
Aha! For me it linked to somebody's LJ or something along those lines, with a very pretty background photograph of bucolic American bliss, and a 'Hey, this link doesn't work' message in the foreground.
I'm liking the notion of Darth Rodent, though.

Hee. I need a new tagline. May I?
Well, I am back from court, where a very nice Muni Court clerk wrote down all the tickets I had that he could find in the system. I have 43 parking tickets. Ye gods, am I a fucking moron. But I am going to court and paying them all off slowlllllllyyyyy, so although it is Of The Suck, I am having of the plan.
Also on the way home, my tire noise became SCARY Tire Noise, and I have to take it into the shop tomorrow. School starts Monday, and I HAVE to get this fixed. Seriously. I held my cell phone out the window while I was driving so my dad could hear and he said "Yep. Get it fixed. Sounds like someone dropped a bag of marbles in a garbage diaposal."
It's a BAD noise. Like, worse than the First bad.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
you do doom a lot , david. which is odd, because i don't think of you as a pessimist.
DH has not started his clueby4 business. but really, he needs to. his co is once again trying to make his team responsible for something that requires a physical presents in the office. not a good idea 1) his team is the road boys. Dh travels the least - and he is gone 2- 3 weeks a month. 2)even if they are in the office - DH is the only one at the right office. so , no backup. 3) no 7 league boots. The worst part of this - this is the 19th go round of trying to get the external IT people to do the internal IT people's job.

On a more positive note, I introduced myself to a contract recruiter while getting coffee this morning, and she said she'd been hearing my name a lot (in good ways). It freaks me out, especially because I've been slacking off for the last few weeks since the six weeks of hell burned me the fuck out. Now that I have no pressing deadlines, I'm not nearly as driven.
That's the same link, Raq, and it still goes to the squirrels.

What is even happening?
PC, I think there's still too much in that letter. Keep it simple.
Dear [landlord],
Please accept my apology for our earlier exchange. My uncle insisted I send the earlier request, because of his past experience with renting. I acquiesced against my better judgment, because I am staying with him, and did not want to be disrespectful of him. I am afraid that I have insulted you, in my attempt to placate my family.
I am perfectly happy with the agreement we came to before I let my uncle become involved. I will pay the pro-rated rent. I wanted to explain myself, however, because I am ashamed of my behavior and want you know that I am not the sort of person who will try to take advantage of your good nature. I hope we can continue on as pleasantly as we had been before. Thank you.
John Smith

It is the same link, I just wanted to see if doing it the old-fashioned href way would change anything. Glad it goes to the squirrels for you...don't know why it's going to random places for other folks.
Yay for people hearing your name in good ways! I always get twitchy when I think I've been slacking off and other people think I'm the best employee EVAH!
