Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[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.
Kristin, that is fantastic news. I know you've been wanting increased responsibility and recognition, so this is headed in the right direction fer shur! Wish they'd give you more money right off the bat, but I can offer you a drinks on me the next time I see you! It's not a stipend, but it's a...drink!
And after today's meandering around Santiago, I might be the first person in recorded history who declares herself a bigger fan of Santiago than of Buenos Aires. The weather had a lot to do with it; it's right after a rain here, so the skies are blue and clear. Buenos Aires was worse then Beijing in air quality, and that's saying something. And in Santiago, when you turn a corner around a basilica or a Cafe Caribe, there's the impossibly big and beautiful Andes! Jesus they're gorgeous. Reminds me of Lucerne, the way they loom magnificently over the city.
Congrats Kristin! Where do you teach again, or do you prefer not to say?
Burrell, I don't want to say on the board, but I would be happy to email it to you.
Profile addy good? You don't have a profile addy, looks like, but feel free to email me at mine if you're curious.

I won't argue with that! And honestly, I'm just excited about just getting the job regardless of compensation. Also, your trip sounds like it's been just amazing. I can't wait to hear all about it next time we get together.
How odd, I guess the board reset also reset my profile to an earlier version. I just changed it to include my email.

ooooh lovely. I almost feel like I've been there.
I keep thinking about how I used to deal with asshole customers. They are trying to get a rise out of you and if they succeed, they win. If you can keep your cool until they leave, you win. Keyboards are cheap and I can probably get five or six for free from my friends. If I can keep from meeting them at their level until they are out of my life... I win! I can always call the cops if I have to.
Andi got off work an hour ago and is still not home.
She works 12 miles away, 18 through the detour.
Thanks for the concern, people. What happened is this: It was dark and rainy, and I have never driven the detour back from work after dark before. I drove around for about 20 and ended up back in the town I started in.
No, I have no idea what happened.
So I decided to fill up the gas tank, and take the freeway home. Which is going wayyyyyy out of the way, but I forgot about that. If I had realized it would take as long as it did, I would have called Daniel to let him know why I was late.
Laga, I'm kind of concerned for you. I hope you can get this figured out, and get rid of these guys in a safe and permanent manner.

This is a good attitude to have. Be careful, but don't let fear rule you. It will be all right.
Burrell, insent.
Andi, very glad you're home safe.
Laga, I think I still have the kwikiset of doorknob lock and keys from when I first moved in. Can't recall if there is deadbolt or not. Also, I have keyboards to offer. USB? Happy to give to you if you want. I might be getting the better part of this weekend off, since tech is going so well, and the designer is super cool.
KT, as said in chat... YIPEE!

Yeah, I've got an entire box of keyboards and mice in the garage, let me know how many you want.
