Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.  

[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.

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

{{{{Jen}}}} As someone with several dedicated nurses in her extended family, I can't tell you how much I agree. Nursing is so important and so misunderstood.

I think people's general impression of what teachers do is similarly screwed up, but I think nurses get the worst rap of all.

Kristin SO speaks for me here. (fwiw, the fella I like most on OKCupid got way more brownie points from me for being a nurse than he would have for being a doctor.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Do you think people are thinking negatively about you because you have crutches? What do you think is going through their minds? I am not trying to put you on the spot, just wondering. I think 95% of them are pretty much thinking what Meara said. And the other 5% are assholes who would think something negative no matter you looked/walked/dressed/were like.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Mom says sister says asshat is moving out tonight. I'm waiting for further information.

Yay! Hope the door bangs him on the hat as he leaves!

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

After coming back from rotator cuff surgery this season, Pedro Martinez went 4⅓ innings today before going back on the DL.

Fuck!

Good news for Braves fans, though.

Susan, I'll just note that you have really disliked almost all of your dayjobs. You like a lot of autonomy and that's hard to come by with a middle level job. It's the sort of thing that tends to happen by accident on an org-chart rather than by design. You have strong issues with authority and those issues ping on you in a variety of ways. I think the satisfactory dayjob is going to be elusive for you.

I left a (unfortunately drunken) message on her cell letting her know if she needs anything to call me. If I had known this was going to happen tonight I wouldn't have started drinking at 4.

Well...agreed, but in saying that do you have any ideas for what I can do about it, other than accepting unhappiness and/or trying to catch lightning in a bottle in the form of a bestseller?

Trust my rage

Cash, I can't copy and paste but I was seriously thinking about coming to visit but the car I'm driving is not very safe or reliable and I just shortened my trip by a week. Still, it would have been lots of fun.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I posted it in Natter, so I should post it here: Muppets blooper reel. Featuring Beaker!

FWIW, I have some ideas of what might give me some more autonomy, even if not all that I might want: finding a really small organization instead of working for a Giant State Bureaucracy, and/or find a way to move back into event planning, which could be tricky schedule-wise with a child but possibly doable as long as DH's schedule stays fairly predictable.
