Fucking crazy exes. Mine followed me around for years. He never actually did anything (aside from showing up uninvited and acting menacing) but you never know what people are capable of. I hope EM's gets his head right quickly for everyone's sake.

[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.

Thrive to spite them
I want to do something really nice for my coworker, like organizing some kind of baby shower -- but I'm not sure about the etiquette for office baby showers and if anyone would think it was weird to have an adoption baby shower for a guy.

My response to things like this is pretty much "screw it, if they don't like it, they don't have to come."
But I am sometimes callous and strange.

Speaking of baby showers, I got an invitation to a baby shower for a coworker. I worked with the woman for maybe two months before she left on maternity leave. She has already HAD the baby. Plus, the shower invite/email actually said "Don't forget your gift". Ugh. I'm thinking of claiming that I will be out of town.

Because books.

Stephen's coworkers had a baby shower for him when I was pregnant. It's a lot more common these days than you'd think. And I know while we didn't have a shower for a guy I used to work with, we all chipped in to get him and his wife something for their first baby.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Joe's co-workers gave him a shower when I was pregnant. We got a $200 gift card to Babies R Us. It kicked ass.
Vortex, that's ridonculous.

I know! It's so tacky that I can't stand it! I mean, I like the woman, but jeez! Actually, she wasn't the one who sent out the email, someone else was, but STILL.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
"Oh! I'm so sorry I won't be able to make it!" is a good all-occasion response. Goes over better than "are you freaking kidding me?" anyway.

Mmm... I splurged on lunch and am having a lump crab cake with a green salad with vinaigrette dressing from Daily Grill. YUM!

What is even happening?

And she'd probably die if she saw that, because ugh.
