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.
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
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.

Andi, very glad you're home safe.

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

I have saturday off. I would love it if a bunch of big strong men wanted to hang around my house. I have beer.
edit: girls are welcome too. And those unsure about their gender.

but I think I can't change the locks without landlord approval. I'll post with updates after I talk to D tonight. I do think it would be highlarious if those boys came home to see a big stack of keyboards next to the computer desk.

It looks like o_a will be off on Saturday, but I'll still be stuck in tech.
