Yay for good interviews, Empress!

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Fantastic, Aimee! I'm so glad.

Aimee, I know you're going to get the job and I am counting the days down to when you get to leave self-absorbed asshat. And, exactly as others have said, he cared not one fucking iota when your sister needed you. And the latest slimeball thing with the internet and spyware? You need to be outta there. And you shall be! I am fulla glee for you.
Kristin, I am very happy to hear they're giving you good care. But I am outraged that a private school teacher has to forego PAY when she is in the hospital with pneumonia. Sorry, but that's a piss-poor policy. Firstly, like you haven't spent ENTIRE weekends and sometimes vacations working? Grading? Prepping? Answering student e-mail? It's an outrage that they require flexibility on your part, but allow you none when it comes to a very serious illness. I won't apologize for my rant. I am sick to death of hearing how many Americans go to work when they're sick and can't pay for healthcare when CEOs get 30 million dollar bonuses for failing companies.
Vortex, it's sweet and thoughtful of you to give her a prezzie, and I understand your irritation at her sudden bout of flakedom. But what Sox says; she may be overwhelmed with stuff right now. If you track her down and give her the prezzie, she'll be undoubtedly touched and think of you fondly. And maybe pass on the kindness to someone else in her life - maybe even someone who doesn't "deserve" it right then. :)
Steph, I think you oughta go sneeze a bid wad of goo onto your boss's arm. On accident, of course. And then smile and say, "oh, don't worry, it's a fake cold, so that's imaginary snot!"

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Yay Aimee!
To cap off the stellar day I've had, I came home to a jury summons for Superior Court. Motherfucker.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
OK, this brought a tear to my eye. Even if you aren't a sports fan, this is beautiful: [link]

It is wonderful, Omnis! I just posted the ESPN coverage a few minutes ago in my LJ. Made me all teary and shit.

I saw that last night on the news. Yay for the good guys!
Would someone please make me a cup of tea? So tired this morning. Have waken the sleeping boy, fed dog and cat, and started my morning work processes. Now that my butt is on the couch again I can't quite manage the energy to get up. The room temp tap water next to me is not doing the trick.

Dude, this is exactly why places have sick day banks. Arrrgh!

Tea has happened. The mention of the 'yay for humans' sports story reminded me to show DH the story since I knew he hadn't seen any news. Yep, tears all round.

Seriously, Emily. As if being sick in the hospital isn't punishment enough.
