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

In short, you compliment a secretary on her hair once and she'll remember your name forever.

My father one day when we were in Manhattan for some reason or other decided to drop in and have lunch in his old cafeteria at NYU Medical Center. People kept just popping by all "hey, how's it going, haven't seen you around in a while, we should have lunch" with no apparent realization of the reason they hadn't seen him recently.

That reason being that we'd moved away from New York more than ten years earlier.

I expect LKH would be more entertaining when dealing with a job rejection.

"Let me say that all of you that interviewed me, and have decided not to hire me, I am happy for you. I don't want a position that doesn't push me past comfortable envelope of the mundane."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Jesse, you need a lori. I'm perfectly willing to let IKEA stuff sit around until she has some free time. In fact, I insist on it. That's one big plus for Cost Plus World Market: their stuff is really simple to put together, and very sturdy.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I'm such a n00b foodie

Takes wagers on when the inevitable moldy-rice-in-a-tube comment will arrive.

Oh, wait...

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

She would also manage to say something about "arduer".

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I am looking forward to the awesome sense of accomplishment later, though.

Right?! We put together a new bookshelf last night and it's so easy yet so satisfying.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

You guys, my bed is still not put together.

Is there an allen wrench involved? Heh, it's IKEA -- of course there's an allen wrench involved. I hate them with a passion.

Being a sweaty mess sucks, especially for this. You have to finish putting together the bed, or else you won't have anywhere to sleep tonight. There's no putting it off 'til later. (Though it's probably better if you finish it tonight; it's supposed to be 70 degrees tomorrow.)

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

Does this mean I'm not a n00b foodie anymore?

She would also manage to say something about "arduer".

Okay, I was bored and reading through f_w the other day, and spotted this LKH silliness. Dare I even ask what this dumb-ass "arduer" crap is?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Jesse, with something as big as a bed it really really helps to have an extra set of hands to hold things in place while you're allen-wrenching everything into place.
