Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Aimee's bob looks shiny and sleek and pretty.

My best man's daughter is named India.

I worked for a company famous for it's excellent 800 number customer service.

I am now going to share with you the magic ingredient that made it work: The customer service reps were authorized to fix whatever problem people called in with.

It the CS rep determined that the product was faulty they were authorized to pay for shipping to have it fixed, or if they determined it was FUBAR they were authorized to send a new one. If the customer didn't want a new thingie the CS rep was authorized to refund their money.

And that's all it takes. Of course, the CS reps had regular reports on the fixes they authorized, but if they were considered to be the proper response then they were okay.

That's if the company has a commitment to customer service. I could tell you stories about Nordstrom that would give you a stiffie.

So, latest theory. Might not be blockage, per se. Seems my GI might have had some rotation issues when I was in the oven. Yup, another way my body is a freak. More answers after tomorrow xrays.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Much health~ma, omnis.

I just skipped a zillion posts. Hope I didn't miss much.

Today, to avoid editing an article that I just can't stand to look at anymore, I used the university's database access to search for every mention of my family in the NY Times, then compiled the list and sent it out to all my relatives. Most of the mentions were fairly innocuous -- birth and death and marriage announcements, stuff like that. A few reports from the thirties of a relative who won a bunch of citywide sports competitions. And then several small mentions of a particular relative that, taken together, can really leave no conclusion other than that he was involved in the mob.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Aimee's bob looks shiny and sleek and pretty.

So not what I read after 3 glasses of wine.

omnis! I demand your organs stop making you feel bad right now!

Freezing rain tonight! But...tomorrow's my last day! I want to go to work tomorrow. I have to train somebody, clean out my desk, write out my systems, leave contact numbers, get taken to lunch and hug everybody and get a little teary!

I feel that must be true.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

I know a white American military couple who adopted a baby girl from China and named her Mercy. I thought it was a pretty name until the wife told me it was because "God took mercy on her and let her come live in a Christian home." Elitist santimonious twits.

!!!

wrt Cinnamon - I think that's a lovely name, but their stated rationale does make me wince.
