Wow, Jessica! It seems like the time has flown by from this end of the Internets.
Ginger, how's the vocalizing?
Sox, the other thing you can do is have a time certain when you leave. Announce that you have another meeting, Iris needs to be picked up, etc., etc., so you can keep things moving. An escape plan, for your own sanity.
Sail, have you escaped a workplace recently speaking of work and escapes?
Sox, Sparky is wise, as you already know. And you know, bring a spork anyhow, just in case.
June is an excellent month. I approve.
DH just asked "what if person-in-question is on the board?" when he heard I'd asked for buffista wisdom.
Does he know nothing about our spicy brains and general sparkliness?
As if the person-in-question would fit in here. (Dear person-in-question, If you are lurking? Sorry about that. Here, RTFHumanM. KThxBye! 'fistas)
Cindy! You have the bees tag!
I do. I tagged it the day I brought the story over to Natter.
If I didn't know better, that would be my story. I can't deal with famous people. I went into Boxed Set, saw CFerg had posted, got palpitations, and ran away. One time when Monique used to live out this way, she was going to take a bunch of us to a con where Nicholas Brendon was appearing. She runs his website, so there was a decent chance we might get to say hi to him. I couldn't deal, and couldn't go.
Sail, have you escaped a workplace recently speaking of work and escapes?
Almost. Next Friday is my last day. Whoohoo!
That story is just ... bees. I've had to explain it several people because "er ... bees" is now my default stammer.
Good lord, George Clooney is narrating a Budweiser commercial on my tv right now. I think I have bees.

Ginger - I may just wear RTFM on my sleeve (thx to thinkgeekers who believe my wardrobe needs more black [! as if ... though I am 1 less pair of black boots...]). She wouldn't notice if I tattooed it on my forehead. It will be tucked under a jacket of some sort, instead. How's your voice?
DH is learning quickly about the spicy sparkliness and general brains. He's a good DH. Just knows that when I speak ill of someone, they're usually about to sit down at the next table.
I think reinforcing the external force bringing us together/joint effort is an excellent idea
I agree. I have to train people a lot. When they resist I find it helpful to pull them away from their usual office too because they will be continuously doing some other thing. We both hate this. Let's get through it quickly could work.
