It's funny--Burrell commented on my hands a couple months ago. Said they looked younger than her son's. Now they look even younger, with their complete absence of visible veins or tendons.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

For all I complain about my job, I have to share a good one....
Tomorrow is my birthday. Neither my program team, nor this office in general, celebrates birthdays - which is fine, whatever, no problem. Well, the accounting group in Boise does birthdays big for everyone. They have a whole system set-up and it is a THING. Ok, fine, whatever.
So, I just got a call from my current boss saying that while my "real life birthday" is tomorrow, my "work birthday" isn't until March when I'll be up in Boise. She didn't want me to think they were ignoring me. Not that I was concerned at all, I just think it is funny.
Now I'm wondering if I should be nervous. I've heard about some of the milestone birthday celebrations up there.

Work birthday? Heh.
I think tommyrot is right about the body inflation. I *have* seen a demonstration of a rubber suit thing that suspends you, in a cube of air thingie...it was odd.

"Reign" used where "rein" is correct is nails-on-a-chalkboard for me, right up there with "tow the line" and "for all intensive purposes."
There's a writers club at my workplace, and the current president is a champion of usage errors. I don't think he's gotten there/they're/their correct yet.
"The people next store" is one of my favorites.

I was in college before I realized that "awry" was pronounced "a-righ" instead of "aw-ree".

I'm terrible with that kind of stuff, especially in lyrics. I'll go YEARS thinking lyrics are one thing and then find out they are actually something else. It's SO embarrassing!

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