Feel better, askye. Sounds like calling the doctor is a good plan.

Good luck, Sparky!

Good luck, Sparky!

Already done. I gave him a half pass since I'd nodded my agreement that he could go help a student with car trouble, but told him that when he knew she needed more than a jump start/ride over to the mechanic he should have drawn the line since it turned into a 3 hour errand that involved actually selling her car. (The student is one who works here in the library, thus her comfort in asking one of us for help, and my inclination to okay a little help.) I'll talk to the student later.

Oh, my! That is a bit of a stretch! Glad it went well, though.

No booze tonight, though. I'm not that dumb.

See, I so would be.

I'm not saying I wasn't tempted, I just knew what my reaction would be. If I hadn't had to be at work this morning, I might've.

And I will cop to this one hurting like hell as he was doing it - especially the intricate linework. Though the fill-in hurt, too.

askye, I'm sorry you still feel crappy. Go doctor, choose doctor!

vw, good luck on the revisions.

Sparky - woah. Yeah, I think a chat is in order.

The people looking at the condo last night showed up nearly an hour and a half late, and they only had their broker with them, the seller's broker never showed up. TCG was pissed off to say the least. I got a call this morning that there would be a showing 10:30 tomorrow morning. I should be making phone calls again.

Good luck with the paper, vw!

I called the doctor's office and described my symptoms to the nurse who asked "so, are you asking for a prescription?", um no. I don't know if I need one ! That's why I'm calling!

But they are supposed to call me back. I'm thinking maybe it's the start of a sinus infection.

juliana, what's your tattoo look like?

{{{askye}}} Feel better.

That's redonkulous. Should we write a letter to the owner for you about what will and will not be tolerated? You could post it on your front door for all those buyers and their brokers as entertainment reading while they're waiting for the seller's broker to show.

Sinus infections are of the suck. {{askye}}

Yeah, I think a chat is in order.

I'm beginning to think that this particular librarian attracts some females of the species who like his English accent and nice manners. I don't actually think he seeks out this attention, but he might need to discourage it a bit more. It's tough sometimes when the students around you are smart interesting people with whom it's fun to chat to tell them to get the heck out of your office. But it would probably be a good thing for him to learn to do.

meara (in no particular order)

1) Wahey, Juliana! Will there be pictures of The Tattoo So Far?

2) Jilli, I feel I have failed in my capacity as Captain of the Good Ship Jeeves. I shall get a polite but firm memo out to Kind Of Stalker guy at once, explaining that one should only stalk Jillis from a respectful distance of at least a continent away, and then only in a very haphazard fashion. (Seriously, though - hope he leaves soon. Creepy, and I wholly sympathise with that whole rabbit-in-the-headlights not-wanting-to-be-rude thing.)

3) PC - while I do appreciate the head explodey badness of the whole 'marry someone now!' thing, one of them could be fabulous. t /devil's advocate

4) I am sketching out peacock feathers, with a view to hitting the tattoo place this weekend. Insh'allah.

5) The Empress rocks. Which we knew.

6) Matilda speaks???? Blimey!

7) I am about to be cut off, I think, so I'll hit post.

askye, my tat is Raven stealing the Sun, and he used Tlingit designs as a base to go off of and add spiky tribal elements to. It's freakin' awesome. And yes, there will be pictures as soon as the woman with the digital camera gets in to work.

I chose that because Raven is the creation myth I grew up around, and I kind of identify with Raven. Um. Perhaps a little overmuch. But yes.
