Thrive to spite them

juliana do you have any pictures of you on your bike yet?

So, every so often I've been freaking out because the guy who came by and flirted with me just abruptly stopped after I expressed some interest. Today he came by and he doesn't work at this location any more, but some where else. But he's here for the next two days doing stuff. He came by, he flirted, but I think he's just flirting for flirting sake and not actual interest. Which, I'm really fine with, and if he comes by and flirts with me tomorrow and the next day I'll lap up the attention. I'm wearing something extra cute tomorrow.

I really want the Mother Of London jacket tommy linked to, but I want it modified to be appropriate as a motorcycle jacket (room in the shoulders, longer sleeves that can be cinched tight, 1 mm or thicker leather). It's already so close....

I actually have a jacket like this in brown. It's a lovely British biker jacket that Mr. Jane (and for all my bitching about it, here's where it pays off) got for me at a garage sale...for $2.

It's 4:45, and no phone call.

argh! Annoying.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

juliana do you have any pictures of you on your bike yet?

Not yet. I actually didn't get a chance to ride this weekend - I hope to be able to tonight. Also, my nabe is kind of a fishbowl, and I'll feel like a dork taking pictures there, so I need to get myself and someone else out of said nabe for a bit to get proper pictures.

Enjoy the attention, askye!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

StY has a red and black bike jacket, one of the good ones. I've never seen an all-red one. They have jackets for women? Why wouldn't they just have them for body type and size? Gender jackets seem...counter-intelligent.

Come visit and I will let him take you shopping. Promise me you won't let him buy this "great couch" or an "awesome recliner" and he's all yours.

I have just made an awesome design for an invitation to a work event. Now that I need to fill it in? I cannot remember what the goddamned thing is about.

The girl who's running the show is out today, so I guess it's internets and phones for me until 6.

I imagine it's like any other kind of jacket. A men's cut would be boxy, women's more fitted to a lady's curves.

I have a traditional men's cut leather jacket and, while I like it, if I was actually wearing one for riding I'd want it made more to fit my body.

Women's jackets are cut to accommodate Teh Boobs and to work with the fact that our shoulders tend to not be so broad. A closer fit is better, especially when you're dealing with armor.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

Y'know, when I first started at my last company, the new individual-pod coffee maker was Big News.

The big plus about this job (where I used to temp frequently back in my temping days) is that they have a subsidized cafeteria.

If my work had free coffee, it would save me a negligible amount. If it had free fancy coffee, it would save about $20 per week (if I had fancy coffee everyday, which I don't, because I'm cheap, but would like to). If I were gone two weeks for vacation (or whatever), that would be $1000, which is not bad. And a subsidized cafeteria would not only save money, but it would make my mornings at home much more pleasant.

am I a bad person? ...she's going to cancel the visit. I did a small happy dance. I'm such a bad nephew!!!

You're not a bad person, omnis, but clearly your aunt is not nearly as wonderful as mine, or at least as those of mine who would come visit. Mine would stay with me, and expect me to come up with entertainment, but would be so laid back and helpful and fun and fantastic that it would be well worth it. So, don't feel bad about yourself. It's all your aunt's fault!

Hec, are you temping in the mint?
