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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

There's a place in Minnesota which has two Superamerica gas stations, one on either side of University avenue in St. Paul, IIRC.

IIRC, Superamerica bought out the parent company of the one on the North side, shrugged, and just retrofitted it like all the rest.

I imagine this is less common in the Starbucks business plan.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I have intertubes at the tech table today! Woopee!

Shoot, can't say more, back to work.

wow, I killed the thread.

Ya, I'm salary. And workplace takes advantage of the "the hours are as long as it takes to get the job done". Of course, when there isn't much going on, they still want you doing at least a 40 hour week. Blah. Luckily immediate boss is cool and says "what are you doing here, go home". Although half the time, there is still work to be done, which he says "oh, sorry".

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

Fuck.

Somehow managed to not just sleep through my alarm, but to sleep all day. Missed two seminars I was supposed to go to, and missed my train home. Fuck.

Ooh, Hil, that sucks. Will the train ticket be good on another train, at least?

I don't know. I hadn't thought about that. I just bought a new ticket for tomorrow morning. I'll check into whether the missed one can be used some other time.

Our wings are not tired.

Pi! We went to the store to buy pie, but they had no sugar free varieties, so be bought ingredients and made cherry/raspberry pie. I've seen prettier, but it'll work. Since we were baking I'm making a couple quiches for dinner. So π³

Chances of that working...

Crazy sleepiness has just been joined by a nosebleed. The hell?

Note to body: act normal!

yikes Hil! Think positive thoughts. the blood that came back had some icky virus that needed immediate removal. The train had that creepy ex that you never wanted to see again. And the seminars were boring as heck, and you would have snored through them, getting nasty looks from your peers. And the train is happy to allow the unused ticket for future use.

What? It could happen! (OK, so maybe this is why I'm accused of being overly optimistic at times)

One of the seminars I missed was the grad student seminar. It looked interesting, and it's kind of rude to miss it, but it's not the end of the world. The other seminar, though, was by someone who was visiting the university just for this week, and is someone that it would be really good, career-wise, for me to make contact with. And this seminar would have had about ten people attending, with a question session afterwards, and possibly also lunch with the speaker.
