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.

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.

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

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

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

How far are you in the bibliography?
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.

Vortex, I like what ChiKat wrote. I also like lisah's suggestion, but ChiKat version will come across as more of a "helpful team player" sort of thing.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
What kind of a dork are you? Figure it out, man!
It looks like hex! I tried a decoder, and it decoded into nonsense! And the binary that amych gave decodes into the same nonsense, so...I was right that it's hex! But... )racleh��� means nothing to me.
