Aww, Teppy. I'm so happy for you and your geek love. That's an adorable story.

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Just one of the things I love about my Buffistas.

brillig
we have ONE man on staff these days
I'm still the only woman tech supporter. We've got women doing initial call answering and routing, but I'm the only tech. It makes me smug.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I just got off a call with someone who wanted me to do something I'm not authorized to do and, actually, CAN'T do, and wouldn't stop blathering to me about how someone who isn't here anymore did it for him earlier, and how this is what he needs. jeez.
I get that all. the. time. Also, the rules periodically change. So yeah, maybe they could do it before, now they can't. When I tell you that the rules have changed, don't say, "Huh. Can you ask (boss) about that" I don't need to! I gave you the answer!
I usually go ask boss anyway to shut them up.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I love this story! Geek love at its most adorable.

This is the entire staff (yeah, all 18 of us). It's a not-for-profit, so there tend to be a lot of women anyway, but we've ended up with only the one man.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When I worked at a credit card company, there was a customer who insisted that only men be allowed to handle his account, as he didn't trust women to handle his financial stuff.
We canceled his account.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"Huh. Can you ask (boss) about that"
I find that questions like this are an excellent opportunity to put clients on hold while I go to the kitchen and get coffee.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Geek love is great love. Hubby and I often discuss high energy physics and world history.
I made a physics joke last night, too, and he laughed his ass off. There was a commercial on TV for the Ford Fusion, and I said, "Yeah, they tried to market the Fission, but it just kept falling apart."
