javachik is fine, y'all. She'll check in later, but she's good.

[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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Thrive to spite them
Owie! I just burned my finger, when I picked somehting off th back burner of my stove. The burner wasn't on but the stove was on 450F. I thought the other day (when the stove was heating to that) that the stove gave off a lot of heat but I hd no idea.
I'm prety sure if I had apan of water on that burner it would have started to bubble, and it could have melted plastic and maybe burned paper it was so hot in that area.
So now I have to call my landlord, just as soon as I clean the kitchen so it's reasonable for him to see it.

Our wings are not tired.
Sorry for the cliff-hanger, folks! I'm fine!
I usually park in the secured parking downstairs but I had completely forgotten last night that I'd had to park in the visitors' lot (because I got to work too late to snag one of the scant secured spaces) - or I would have totally moved it before it got so late. We do have security guards but I have no idea how to contact them! I shall remedy that today. Thanks again for caring....you're all very sweet.

I have to spend a depressing amount of time explaining to professors why I won't have a book scanned for their students.You could always say "Shall I start with yours, it will save your students $_ _.__ each semester?". I recall one prof in undergrad that had his book assigned every class every semester, and damn if he didn't do updates to the thing every other year or so, so you HAD to buy it again (I didn't. It was my minor, not major. Plus, he annoyed me, so why should I fund his boat?)
ION, I love it when I am running almost late, and hurry into the meeting with one minute to spare, and find I'm the first to arrive. DUDES! I'm the SOUND GUY. We are notorious for NOT being morning people, and yet, I'm the first? Crazy I say. Hopefully it resulted in brownie points with director and boss.

I am on day 1.5 of a 3 day training session for a process I'm only going to need to be familiar with, not acutal using. Send help!
Also,
Dear My Left Leg,
The knee was just about feeling OK (not 100%, but close enough to feel almost normal again). Whyfor does the ankle now need to start acting like a cranky bitch? Also, who knew that prescription ibuprofen could give you medicine head? This is making the training that much harder to deal with; I'd rather just be off the stuff.
No Love,
Frank

I once had to buy a book for a class taught by the book's author. What were we reading? The introduction. His excuse was that his book was used in other classes, so you'd have to buy it eventually.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
he ... our publications person was out last week and someone wanted to buy a special set of two compilations of short publications in electronic format; the description specifically says that the files are on CDs. It took some working out because they wanted to be invoiced for it. So I worked it out, sent them a PDF of the invoice, and a note that I'd be sending them the info. About 15 minutes later I got another e-mail saying they were looking for their downloads and where were they - they wanted them right now.
