Ran across something that made me chuckle. Over at SmartBitches they reviewed an erotic novel based on "Phantom of the Opera", and part of the review was "it flips a love triangle over, chains it to a bed on wheels and leads it to the kinky section of the erotica shelf". Sometimes, the reviews are more entertaining than the subject (I still remember one review of "The Story of O" titled "Boy Beats Girl". And one of another movie titled "Xanadon't").
Spike's Bitches 37: You take the killing for granted.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Argh. I *would* steel my nerves to call and discuss salary, but the man isn't at his desk! Sigh. One more call in a few minutes, then I have to go to dinner...
Odd request - anybody have any decent pictures of me?
At home, I think I do.
I second Juliana's rec for the Giovanni wax. The trick with wax is to use a very, very small amount. (I've got gel in right now, but just because the wax, which is this small batch stuff I get at the barbershop rather than the Giovanni, is packed.)
Hec, insent. It'd need cropping, but I think it's quite nice.
This is my stuff: [link]
I think it's quite nice.
You would!
You would!
Well, it is. And Hec has been less than satisfied with a lot of pictures of himself lately, so I was trying to select one that'd meet his standards, not mine.
"I received the FedEx with the offer information, and it's what you said yesterday and all is very exciting, but on reflection, I'm really a bit disappointed in the base salary, is there anything you can do about that?"
This is good, except instead of "is there anything you can do" say "I'd like to discuss it". I would also have some suggestions (vacation, comp time, travel perks, commuting cost reimbursement etc.) besides GIVE ME MORE MONEY YOU CHEAP FUCKS!!!

How exactly do I bribe Paul to take a picture of you in the barber chair anyway?
Can't check pictures now since I'm still at work for a bit more, but I know you're all very pretty. 'Cuz, hello, Buffistas.
Crossing my fingers that they offer you more cash, meara.
I think I may have to stop and get some coffee before I head home. I am seriously ready to fall asleep on my desk. I always seem to forget how utterly exhausting this whole teaching gig can be.
