Glad to hear it, Susan. Way to use your resources.
Glad you got water, Noise. I really don't understand why they don't let people off the plane when they have no departures like that.
Here is your cup of coffee. Brewed from the finest Colombian lighter fluid.

Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[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.

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

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That's so sugar, Toddson.

Ooh, pretty. You'd look great in that, Toddson. What color are you thinking?

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Toddson, that is a great dress.
The gothic Raggedy Ann & Andy dolls amuse me, but I already have, er, three dolls (sitting on my desk next to me right now) that are very similar.
I've kinda skimmed the past 200 messages, so I'm sorry if I missed anything.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
OK, I really am feeling better, but I swear, if Ms. Loud Talker tells me one more time about how John used to do things when he was the ops manager, I might just snap...

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Todd, that would look great on you! What color?

Damn. I liked this job for the first four months. Now I'm starting to hate it. And I'm starting to doubt anything will ever be better.
Susan, my coworker wears those foam earplugs at work - enough sound gets through that if people approach him directly, he's not oblivious to it, but the random other people's conversations are easy to tune out. Might be worth a try.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
K, this shared office business is going to drive me CRAZY. There are people in here, lots of people (OK, four, but still), and they're talking LOUD, mostly not to me, but STILL. It's seriously giving me the sort of claustrophobic panic attack I normally get when I'm in a very crowded hallway with people physically bumping into me, but I can't SAY anything, because this is a shared office and it's not like I can demand that everyone work in silence! And this one woman, the one with the LOUD grating voice, narrates every move she makes, and it's making me want to SCREAM.
This is my office and it's not even shared.
juliana, I would say I'm sorry, but I'm really very not.
I am, however, sorry that ND is stuck on a plane not going anywhere.
Midweek Music is Elvis Costello this week and Halloween is coming up, so... Jack and Sally montage to "I Want You"

Trust my rage
Okay, Susan's feeling better so I guess it's my turn to be frustrated...
My car accident was over a month ago. Our 30 days of free car rental expires today. Joe leaves the house at 4:30am regularly and gets home around 6pm. Having only one car will be a huge PITA.
USAA still has not received the accident report and is asking us to go get it for them This is possible, but a huge PITA.
The body shop cashed the check, EVEN THOUGH IT REQUIRED US TO CO-SIGN. First complaint - they cashed it on Oct 10 and ordered the car parts last week. They estimate it will be done Nov 7th. Second complaint - the check required our signature to ENSURE that the work was done properly before they got paid. So, our only clout is now gone and, if we attempt to use it, will require us to contact some bank and fight over an improperly endorsed check. Another giant PITA in the making.
All for an accident that was in no way my fault.
