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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Dear Professor Asschapeau:
From the online Miriam-Webster Dictionary, emergency is defined as:
1 : an unforeseen combination of circumstances or the resulting state that calls for immediate action 2 : an urgent need for assistance or relief
As for the first, if these little events were things we could schedule, they wouldn't be called emergencies. As for the second, as a professor, there are certain forms of assistance that pretty much come with the job title. Your students are mortgaging their futures in order to pay your salary. You are their employee in a manner of speaking. Best you give them their money's worth.
No love, me

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm x-posting this with music, because of our earlier discussion of Crystals and Angels from other planets....
I'm digging this trippy 1977 video of The Carpenters, with a full orchestra, covering Klaatu's amazing "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft." From the Official Klaatu Homepage:
The idea for this track was suggested by an actual event that is described in The Flying Saucer Reader, a book by Jay David published in 1967. In March 1953 an organization known as the "International Flying Saucer Bureau" sent a bulletin to all its members urging them to participate in an experiment termed "World Contact Day" whereby, at a predetermined date and time, they would attempt to collectively send out a telepathic message to visitors from outer space. The message began with the words..."Calling occupants of interplanetary craft!"

eta: The video starts out with this cheesy, corny bit of comedy (I think) of aliens calling a radio station's request line.
Is this the most awesome video ever, or what?

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
And now that I'm tucked in my hotel room I am embarassed by my pity-party earlier. Gah - too much stress. I should just step away from the puter.
This job stuff - looking for change and "selling" myself - is so far outside my comfort zone.

You can do it, Suzi. You're bright and hard working and they'd be lucky to get you as an employee. Also, pity parties are totally allowed in Bitches, so I wouldn't worry about it a bit.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I hate that "selling myself" stuff, too, Suzi. If it was up to me, the world would just see how awesome we are. But you are awesome, we know it your current bosses know it, these guys will see it.
In totally shallow news, I have a snood attached to a polka-dot bow. I like it. I may very well be able to build an outfit around it out of clothes I already have. Yay.

Hil, I was going to say - talk to the doctor, because what you made need to do is use the inhaler regularly to help your lungs heal.
