Argh - Mal's grampa's flight is delayed by 2 hours. Out of a three-hour flight. Now he gets in at midnight.

it was bad; it might have been Latin.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[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.

FWIW, the DH's secretary in Athens (American, older than his mother) informed him and the other officer in the section that she has a Brazilian. This has been regarded as a wildly inappropriate workplace topic by everyone.

Working for myself it all gets blurry. I do a lot of long long days and work through weekends quick a bit, but I also have been taking a total of about 2 months a year off for the past few years, which, to me, is a pretty good deal.
Yeah, but I've also seen you work multiple 16-hour days sicker than a plague victim. Don't get me wrong--I go into work sicker than I should too, but I've seen you barely able to get out of bed and still suffering through a week without a break.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why does anyone care where she's...right. Has a Brazilian, not was a Brazilian.
I agree, and am glad that someone else is being scandalised. Being the moral majority takes numbers.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Maybe she meant Paulo her houseboy.
She probably shouldn't brag about that at her embassy gig either.

ita, I thought the same think! Glad to know I'm not only one. And if it was a Paulo, then I want one, too.

Should I not have capitalized "Brazilian" in this context? I don't have my Chicago Manual of Style handy for the section on gential topiary.
I have 2.5 hours to kill, and it's too late to get business done. Should I attempt to post some stuff on craigslist or attempt to flatiron my hair?

I totally want to work for javachik. You don't need a librarian, do you java?
I am fortunate, though, with a little over 2 days per month PTO, and I think 8 holidays. Work is a flexible about appointments if we're talking under an hour or so (then I can often make it up), but all time, off or otherwise, is by the hour. I think some of the relative strictness is because of being in a union, and working for a state agency. We actually have to fill out leave slips if we miss work. I had never even heard of leave slips before this job.
