Thanks, omnis. The poor thing gets 1-3 hours of sleep at night these days.

[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.

Always Anti-fascist!
Although sometimes I think I'm clever when I joke about my things I have no choice in. But I say things about myself that I would beat someone else down for, too. My brother's job just became insecure. Which might not be noteworthy now, except for the fact that he's been carrying my father for seven years. Yes, my dad is such a fucker he's been making noises about firing blood.

God, I hate when people are petty. One of my favorite patrons at the theatre called to give an extra donation to his usual donation (in this economy!) and specifically said that it was because of four people, including me. The Development assistant sent us and her boss and email letting us know what he said, which was very nice. Her boss replies:
I'm only slightly offended that he didn't cite the private pride night I catered myself for him & his friends. Personally. from choosing his favorite cheeses & dips & sweets presenting them lovingly on platters paired with his preferred wines- & buying it all... sigh... But alas-glad to have the additional donation & know that he is fond of [theatre] staff.
WTF? Like you just can't be happy that he's complimented us? Here's a thought - he knows that you're Director of Development and it's your JOB to suck up to patrons. We are nice to him because we like him.

Yes. Government has to give a choice between national and army service with the same benefits (while giving the army the personal it still needs, of course).
That makes sense.
On the greater level? Hoping that all the sides would negotiate at some point, hopefully while I'm still alive. I'm so tired of the worrying and the useless killing.
Damn straight.

Vortex, that's a startingly petty and assy way to behave. Shame on him!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
wow Vortex. That is crazy. I'm thinking she needs to hear about our theater, and how we had to lay folks off due to cash flow issues. Or San Jose Rep, that is going Chapter 7 (I think it was them), or Ballet Pacifica who is going Chapter 11. Petty. Ya, she is a bit.
Thanks, omnis. The poor thing gets 1-3 hours of sleep at night these days.Oh my. The timing on that statement is eeirie, as I just read this article about 10 reasons not to skimp on sleep, and a couple of the links within the article. I'm sure it's not of her choice (the lack of sleep).

I know! I used to like her, but this is the second time she's been shitty in email. I'm starting to think that she's always "on" when I see her, and that's why I used to like her.

Development people are tricky that way. (I say working in a development office). Yikes!

Dear Santa,
I'd like Peace on Earth for Christmas. I'd like an end to hatred and violence. Life's crappy enough, can you do something to keep us from being crappy to each other? Please?
Love, me.
So much safety~ma for Shir's sister.

Honestly, Vortex, I cannot IMAGINE the thought process that would lead to writing that email. That's real glass half empty (and the waiter probably spat in it) thinking.
