Shir, I would talk to her in the evening when you're calm. Something like 'hey, I love having you here, but I've been having trouble getting to sleep the last few days. I really appreciate serious quiet tonight, like no talking or cell phone or TV. I've got a great book you can read!"
Dawn: Are you kidding? Dr. Keiser: I never kid about my amazing surgical skills.

Spike's Bitches 43: Who am I kidding? I love to brag.
[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 have no idea, connie, but I can tell you that otto in Hebrew means "car". Which always got me giggling.
Then again, my Grandfather's uncle (or great-uncle) was called Arpad, which is Hebrew (OK, with spelling, but still!) for vampire.
I love Hungarians.

Thanks, Vortex (and everyone else). I got an apology this morning, but later I still wasn't convinced she understood she was the factor for my lack of sleep.
I'll remind her again tonight to be quiet. I really need 7+ hours of sleep tonight, or else I won't function through the rest of the week.

I'm so sorry for your loss, juliana. I also think Otto is a kick-ass name.

So, this morning I basically walked away when our admin assistant tried to tell me the story of her horrific delivery and how the doctors had totally screwed up everything. When she spoke the words, "ripped a hole this big" I interrupted her and told her I wasn't listening to these kinds of stories because they were not helpful, constructive or supportive to me and walked out of the room.
It's two hours later, and she just cornered me in my office to supposedly apologize, but actually to finish her story because she thought I should hear the end.
I'm so mad at her I nearly threw her out in front of a bunch of people.

12 more minutes of work into it and I'd be over with the paper.
If I just weren't so fucking tired.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It's the (original) name of my grandfather, too.
Mine too, but he kept it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Sparky that is utterly ridiculous. I hope you ripped her a new hole that big.

Three of my friends had painless contractions. THREE. And I really don't have that many friends.
One barely made it to the hospital because she woke up in the morning ready to give birth.
One had both her children in under three hours of hospital time.
And now I'm going to go and KICK that chick's ASS. Where is she, Sparky? I'm puttin' the hurt on her.
