Buffy: How bored were you last year? Giles: I watched 'Passions' with Spike. Let us never speak of it.

'Beneath You'


Spike's Bitches 31: We're Motivated Go-getters.  

[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.

What is even happening?

Yeah. He just emailed me back. His counter offer took a minimal amount off of my quote--basically our initial meeting. I think he was just seeing how much he could get off the bill.

I suppose it isn't worth your zen or time to argue about it, but darn it, I'd want to add money for the time spent arguing about him paying a rate HIS ASSISTANT TOLD YOU WAS 'FINE'.

I'm not yelling at you. I'm yelling at him.

Yeah. I'm just glad that I didn't put more time in on it. I couuld have spent a lot more time fiddling with it and trying to get it right. But I was scoping it out, too. I wasn't going to take a job that would have required me to put in more than 15 hours a week.

He obviously thought he could just have someone walk in off the street and start producing for him, at whatever he wanted to pay them. *shrug*

I'm no worse off. It did prompt me to go out and replace our computer (DH is super happy I did that).

I hope he gets lumps in his mashed potatoes.

Totally off topic, Cashmere, but have you seen the season 2 episode of VM with the Sadie Hawkins dance, yet?

Cindy, Yup. I did. I was hard pressed whether I wanted to see Logan smack Gia or dance with Veronica. I like how it turned out. Also, knowing what I do about the ending, Woody checking out Logan's biceps squicked me big time.

I just hope asshead cuts me a check immediately. So I don't have to deal with him anymore.

Have you ever just turned your head and had your shoulder and neck muscles just seize up on you? If not - let me just say - OUCH. This is not cool.

Yes. I hate it. It's usually a sign that I'm stressed and need a professional massage.

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?

Oh, that does suck. And with me, the muscle/nerve that runs up the side of my neck and on to my head usually seizes up at the same time. Joy.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

What I hate is it's one of those pains that seems to linger. The initial OUCH is one thing, but then it keeps going owie, owie, and owie over and over for a couple of days.
