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.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Anyone for a field trip to the Kirkpinar Oil Wrestling Tournament?
Wearing only a pair of leather trousers and a good slick of olive oil, competitors pair off and struggle to gain a grip on their opponent, before one is flipped over and pinned to the ground. The winner goes on to fight another winner, and so on, until there is only one wrestler left standing. The whole tournament can take days.

OK, doctor thinks it's probably viral. She wants me to increase fluids and try saline gargles, maybe try DayQuil/NyQuil on top of the Claritin I'm already taking, vitamin C and zinc wouldn't hurt. And if I'm not improving by Thursday, I'm to call them first thing so they can get me in.
Oh, today was supposed to be Happy Stock Transfer Day for Casa W. Only a manager from either the broker or the accountant missed the meeting yesterday to deal with the paperwork, because he'd been in meetings all day and didn't want to deal with another one. And the transfer can't happen w/o his signature.
Grrr. Asshole. You know *he'd* be outraged if he didn't get something due him in a timely manner because someone couldn't be assed to sign his name. Maybe it's because I'm a lowly little peon, but insofar as my job involves making sure people in my dept. are paid and/or reimbursed, that's one of my highest priorities.

The details may be frustrating, Susan, but it's pretty fantastic to be getting an inheritance. Maybe try to focus on that?

Well...part of my anger springs from my superstitious belief that something like this can't POSSIBLY be real, so it's all going to disappear somehow. And every time I think, "It's OK. You can relax now. The money really is there, and you really will be out of debt by the end of the summer," something like this happens.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Yes, but it is there, and it will come. So focusing on the good seems to be the better option.

Welcome to my life for the last 8 years. Oh, Dad, how I wish you listened to me when you got remarried.

Yes, it does. Since there are probably quite a few Buffistas who would LOVE the chance to get angry at free money not happening fast enough for them.
