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.

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?

Happy Birthday, bug!!

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

DH's employer did a thing this year where they lumped all their time off into one giant catagory--sick time, vacation, personal and family leave. I think he gets 45 days off a year but he's been with the company for 10 years.

You could buy a stripper pole for your daughter in Europe about a year ago. 15 Euros or so got you a bright pink kit that was clearly aimed at teen and pre-teen girls. There was a bit of a stink about it; let me see if I can find internet traces...
