Wired magazine has a bit on call-in customer service. They said the ideal employee was someone who was detail-oriented, unimaginative, focused on procedure, and lacked empathy.
Yay Suzi! Waiting sux0rs.
Fred: Oh my God! Angel, you're…cute! Angel: Fred, don't! Fred: Oh, but the little hands! And the hair! Angel: Hey! You're fired.

Spike's Bitches 39: Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea, Almost Got Shagged, Cuppa Tea...
[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.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Sparky, we've rented a house on the Outer Banks several times for vacations through these folks. Aprill should be good getting-outside weather but not great lay-on-the-beach weather.
I recommend a day in Manteo (on Roanoke Island). The Elizabethan Garden may not be at its peak, but there's also the site of the First English Settlement. And I hope the Manteo Bookstore is still there.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cylons and Terminators are encouraged to apply....

Thanks FredPete! I'm not really much of a lie around on the beach type due to fair skin and pre-cancerous spots.

No, wait, Boston had a whole DIFFERENT shower curtain problem!
Remember the time I fell in the tub trying to change the shower curtain? Actually, I don’t think you were home when that happened. Oh, and the window into the kitchen from the shower. So bizarre.
We have to take him to the regular vet on Friday for follow-up, so I guess we'll know more then.
More ~ma.
Oh, Suzi! I hope you hear soon!
Speaking of new hair: [link]
I have a couple more funny pictures, as soon as I turn them right side up.

So, the problem with being blind as a bat is that when you snorkel, you can't really see anything. So, I'd take pictures when Edie would point things out. The result? Many pictures like this (with no fish): [link]
But, there are a few good ones, including one of me underwater: [link]
Then there's the accidental toe picture, which I love: [link]

Ann, that's a ferret.
Sparky, we went in October one year. Got a huge house right on the beach for an incredible bargain. Nice and quiet. Lots of sun, highs around 70-75 every day.

I've been debating taking Mal to OBX, but he hated the beach in Greece a lot, so I'm not sure.
All my hair changes are happening in Second Life or Rock Band now.

not your mom's socks.
Mal might like Playland at Rehoboth - there are about 40 different cars and boats and airplanes to drive. I was laughing like a maniac when we took her -... until we got ready to leave. Plus, re: the beach, he's also a little older - it gets better.

The status is NOT quo.
A weirdo ex-boyfriend from high school just found me on MySpace and sent me an email about getting together...because apparently he lives in LA, is a WGA writer and is on strike...so he has lots of time! Bah. His profile says he's married, and I have to believe that he's no longer the slimeball he was when he was 17, but I'm a little skeeved.
It's been 17 years since I saw him. He's probably a perfectly normal nice guy now, right?
