'Objects In Space'
[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.
"My Spleen!" (Everybody does this, right?)
But of course -- or we use the alternative "My squeedaleespooch"
I don't want to spend five extra days with them
P-C, just tell her the two extra days off aren't do-able from a work-load point of view???? Other than that? I got nuthin'
But how do I tell her that I don't want to spend five extra days with them? I want time for me. I suck.
First off, you don't suck. It's okay to want time for yourself. Second, if it were me, I wouldn't tell them. I'd just tell them I couldn't get the extra time off. That way, you get the time you need without hurting their feelings. But I lie to my parents in those sorts of ways with regularity, so I don't know if my lying ways would suit you.
Tell her that you're dating a nice Indian girl from your region with an appropriate value system and you can't come home on those days because you might be getting a special doctorate that week.
...also anybody working over the holidays gets a special bonus and you want to spend it on all of your young female relatives.
After the holidays claim a spleen related injury ate up your bonus.

you don't You tell her that you can't spend the two extra days. If she pushes, say that you had to trade days with someone else to get the ones you have.

I would have his Mom wrapped around my his finger in no time. A little Eddie Haskell, a little Pollyanna cheer and a whole lot of Tell Her What She Wants To Hear In A Manner Which Is So Slippery I Cannot Be Held Accountable But Rather Have Let Her Impute and Project Her Wishes Onto A Fantasy Template.

Yeah, I feel like I should try to curb the amount I lie to my parents, but...I've been doing it for a long time too. And I hate it. I mean, really, it's a Thursday and Friday at the end of the year. What could they possibly need me to be here for? I'll have to make stuff up and, heh, tell her I can't be more specific because of confidentiality agreements!

Heh. Yesterday, she asked me if I'd found an Indian girl yet, and I said no, and she said good, well, not good, but you know. I told her I have no time for girls, and I need to find a couch. It was a nice conversation that ended with our both saying we love each other.
Also, she wants an entertainment center and TV for her bedroom. That's the gift she's asking for.

don't you mean "special doctorate"

Office coverage. Somebody has to be there.
It's a great time to get caught up (almost as good as the day after Thanksgiving). Or goof off if you're already caught up.
