Xander ,'First Date'
[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.
Drive was fine, I guess. Slow.
Half the office is still trickling in, including the people who know how to answer questions I don't. So, once again the untrained monkey-boy is at the front line, fielding grenades and tossing them...somewhere else.
I don't want to be unemployed, but gods am I looking forward to this particular assignment being over.
I'm just...sick of the cold, the wet, the stupid is all.
...
In short, I'm grumpy.
I keep thinking today is Friday. Nyargh.
Jars, me too. I've been a day off all week, and it's just terribly unfair of the universe not to adjust the date to my expectations.
The bonus of the kids getting me up at 6:30 was the fact that I made bacon, eggs and hash browns for breakfast.
Now I have to get us all dressed and out the door because I have a doctor's appointment.
Scratch that. I only have to get me and Olivia dressed. Owen did it himself and picked out his "Rotten Little Boy" t-shirt.

Stupid is nigh-universal.
...but I'd take the (non-stupid) person I helped yesterday who was a new GM for a fast food place and really hadn't used computers her whole life over the daily people who are, in fact belligerent in their stupidity.
I was able to guide her to check things on the screen and she *actually followed my directions* rather than being freaked out touching the magic machine.

Am at work. Am ready to crawl back in bed. Too bad bed is way back home.

Awesome. Did I ever tell you that my father sat us all down at a young age and read us the Ransom of Red Chief to make sure we understood how our parents felt about us?
Hey, some job~ ma for today at noon would not go entirely unappreciated...
Google Books has a preview thing if you want to sample the style. [link] Not too long, not too short. Yes, this was a just right kinda novel for me.
first thing I thought was "I love the cover". I read a bit of the preview, saw the bit about "Reading can be dangerous" and fell a bit in love.
