What part of office job says "stress free"? And even if you thought that, why would you say it!
"Next!"
Jeez-- brainmeats hurting...
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[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'm also dealing with our rampantly incompetent graphics department. My sort of uncle (aunt's husband's brother) works there, so I try to throw them a bone once in a while. First, they sat on the project. Then, we had to go back and forth SEVERAL times because the woman was an idiot. Approve final design Then, I get a totally new design from someone else, C, apparently because the design "wasn't representative of the university". New design is ugly and completely misses the point of what I want.
Talk to C, he insults my taste, we agree to start again. Sends me to a new designer, J (after trying to send me back to the idiot, but I pointed out that if she didn't know what was appropriate before how is she going to know now). J promises design by COB Wednesday. Call this morning, J promises Noon today. Call again, he promises 15 minutes.
NO WONDER NO ONE USES YOU. YOU ARE DISORGANIZED AND YOU DON'T MEET DEADLINES!!!!
eta: Side note to Not!Helpdesk - telling me to restart my computer does not mean that you have closed the ticket. Until I call you and tell you it worked, that ticket is open, asshole!

I dunno, from the perspective of someone writing a dissertation, a little typing and filing might sound remarkably stress-free. Not that you should SAY that in a job application.

If it wasn't for the fact that a) low calf-length makes me take on the proportions of a hobbit and b) I already have more coats than anyone living in Florida needs, I'd so be on that like white on rice.

sj, sorry I missed your Q... my tagline is from Veronica Mars. Keith says it to [Laura San Giacomo's character] after a film festival.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I tried on a beauuuuuuuuuuuutiful coat yesterday. It was black wool, floor length, and cut just enough like Keanu's coat in Matrix Reloaded to make me swoon but not so much like it that I looked like I was in costume. It was long and swoopy and had these quasi-military-esque double buttons and an awesome folded-over collar thing.
It was on a rack under a big sign that said "$199.98! 30% or more taken off at register!"
But it was on the wrong rack.
It was $500.
I put it back.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Jessica, that's fucking tragic. That coat should be yours. (And mine, too.)
Happy birthday, d!
