Nora, that's awesome! Go you!
Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[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.

That's great, Nora!
Hard to believe, but I actually have work to do today. Wasn't so happy about that yesterday because I spent almost 11 hours at work. Still, it means I should finish up that project by my normal quitting time today and that's good.
I have met no people who suck today, but that is because I am avoiding the stockroom. They suck in absentia.

Happy Birthday, Anne!
I am Bev and Cass. I have a hard time getting started with small talk, but once I do I start babbling out of nervousness. And I'll keep trying, even when it gets awkward, because I feel like I should be making other people comfortable by taking the onus of finding new subjects off their shoulders.

New job starts today. at noon. Which in the long run is great - but today it is makeing me vaguely tense and hyper. I might be one of the people that sucks today, because even though I know DH didn't get enough sleep last night I keep looking at him like he is a crazy person because he doesn't seem to know what is going on in my life.

May your first day at new job be a good day, beth. Sounds like Matt needs more coffee. Don't we all?

Good luck, beth! I bet the day goes really well.
Small talk: I can do it. I think I got used to it early on, due to a lot of adults in my life when my mom was sick. It doesn't bother me, and like Hec I think it's simply a kind of social lubrication, but at the same time it does get tiresome.
Elevators are definitely an issue -- we got those little TV screens in ours when I was still working in the city, and ridiculous as it was to stand in this box for all of a minute staring at a screen, it was better than talking (again) about how cold the office was, or who kept leaving old yogurt in the fridge, or whatever.
