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.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Wow, vw. Wow. How far are you in the bibliography?

You can totally do all that, vw!

I've made a few calls about apartments today, but nothing has turned up any prospects yet today. I'm about to make a very stinky meal of pasta with garlic, anchovy, and clams just in time for the prospective buyers to show up.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm still in my pajamas. I should have gone into the office today to work on some grading. Guess I'll end up working on that over the weekend.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Hey, I need some of the patented buffista draft~ma. I'm so angry about this that I can't be rational and polite. How do you say -- "this is your department's job, your people didn't do it. Stop trying to make me do it and get the shit done.", with a side of "yes, I COULD do it, but it would take a lot of my time, and it's not my fucking job"

Vortex, I feel for you. I got stuff like that at my old job ALL the time. This is what I'd usually respond with:

I would love to help you out with your [part of the] project, but I'm currently swamped with my regular duties. If you could wait until [some ungodly time in the far future], I might be able to fit it into my schedule, but I can't guarantee it because my regular duties may prevent me from getting to your work. So sorry, TA! blah-cakes.

Hello? is this thing on? Am I the only one who does draft suggestions? I SAID

cause if no one helps me, I might just send that without the profanity

Sorry, Vortex. I wish I had some ideas to nice that up, but I'm all out.

Well, all of the reading is done. I plugged through that on Tuesday. I've only actually written one annotation. They don't have to be as detailed as yours, though. Just 3-4 sentences for each source. I'm gonna try to plug through that and the IRB stuff yet tonight.

Vortex, I missed that. I'm sorry. I like ChiKat's.

It does get right to the point! I'd keep it very short and sweet.

This job is X Person/Department's responsibility.

And sign off! Or maybe could you refer them to your supervisor?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Vortex, I was at lunch, but I would have drafted something much like ChiKat wrote.
