I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

[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.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

job~ma requested for DH. A position he interviewed for last week just asked him for references, so definitely a good sign, but he's a bit discombobulated because his go-to rave reference of a former boss is out of the country and currently unavailable. He's asking someone he recently freelanced for to step in.

He really needs a new job--he's *so* not happy where he is right now. And this one would be good because it's still in the university system, so we wouldn't have to fuss with insurance and retirement and so on changing.

vw, they should totally have told you that there was a limit to how many tutorials you could take. Eejits.

Well, yes. And, now it turns out that we can actually be paid for up to 40 hours a week, so she freaked me out unnecessarily. I mean, I do still need to do something about the crazy number of appointments, because it is too much. But, now I can do it on my own terms.

Much kitty~ma for erika! So scary!

The professor was replying to an email my predecessor sent in 2002 offering training on a certain database. The whole thing says, "I see the date on this and I don't know how I missed it but yes I'd like training."

Um…wha? People really are stupid.

Hey vw! I need advice from a quilter! (Or really, anyone who has a better grasp of measurements than me, which is probably most of you.)

The info for this fabric [link] says that the stripe repeat is about 1/2". I ... can't figure out what that means. Does it mean that there are two stripes per inch? Or are the stripes smaller?

Actually, I think it means that both stripes together are a 1/2". They look pretty skinny, but quite lovely! (and equilter is a fabulous company to order from. They are pretty much my only online fabric store).

Much job~ma for Susan’s DH!

So, I had a very good day. Which is weird, because nothing really huge happened, but it was a really good day.

The kitty's back...he was over at the next buliding, hanging out on their stairs. His paws are dirty, but he's okay.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

which means she has to try to explain that "yes, I know those cats but they aren't MY cats; MY cat is the little calico sitting in the window hissing".
Rocky needs to come home [eta: Good, Rocky! Welcome home and never worry us like this again, man.] and this needs to stop making me giggle. Because my cats are indoor only which is, apparently, not the norm here.

First, they're going to need a Tardis.

Too complicated. Can't I just point and laugh?

Yay, Rocky!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

If no Tardis, then point and laugh.

Good job, Rocky!

My kitchen is clean! Well, all the dishes/pots and pans/etc are clean. Except the ones sitting in the dishwasher which is not full enough to run. Regardless, way cleaner than it's been in an embarassingly long time.

Yay Rocky coming home!

I think that's all I've got right now.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Yay, kitty!

I am so behind I what needs to get done before the guests arrive in 25 minutes, and TCG, who was supposed to be home a half hour ago, has called me twice about wine. I probably shouldn't be sitting down chatting, but I had to get away from the hot stove for a minute.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I think it would be quite an imposition for invisible friends from the Internet to take advantage of Jars' DH's discount. IMO.

O yes completely agree. Hence the tongue-in-cheek :: puppy dog eyes :: bit. (things sound joke-y in brain, don't translate well after).

Sorry. Didn't mean to come off so icky.
