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 got a note from Congressmans office
I am sorry to say, but I tried to put in a request for your tour on Feb 20th and it would not allow me to do so. A request can not be put into the system less than 28 days from the requested date.
Ginger, I know you say:
Good luck on getting the tour, O_A. Be a squeaky wheel.
in this instance, I really have no clue how. It is my understanding the delay is so they can do quick background checks on everyone. Since half the group is from the UK, I'm not sure I have much of a leg to stand on.
I will be around when you are in DC, but approaching 6 months pregnant, so not very much fun.
Well, I'm not much of a drinker, and walking on the crutches, not a very fast walker. We'd probably be a good match. What with walking around a museum all day, I'll probably be wiped. Either way, send me a note.
Because on the one hand, good use of resources, thinking outside the box, etc. On the other, totally missing the freaking point.
I don't know--it's not very good thinking out of the box if you get caught right out of the gate.
Barb, lots of wisdom to you.
I'm thinking this guy wasn't really concerned with being sneaky.
Can I get some WhiteHouseTour~ma?
I have some bad news for you, Omnis. I'm trying to get a tour for late march, and my congressperson's office told me not bloody likely. In fact, tours through January have been cancelled, and she anticipated that they would be in February as well.
I look like this: [link]
you do not!
I'm still hearing echoes of a neighbor who told everyone she saw that I was "the Biggest Pregnant Person EVAR".
Barb - all the feel-better~ma in the world. Having just gone through that experience myself (minus the fibroids. gah.).
Also - WTF $500 gas bill?!?!
Barb, I've had two fibroid surgeries, one in patient, one out patient. I did a decent amount of research then (about 5 years ago), so I'm happy to talk with you about what I learned, if you like.
People kill me. My office is next to a large conference room. There is a door that leads directly to the conference room from my office. As a result of said door, I always get a lot of noise from events in the conference room. It's a minor inconvenience.
Today, someone actually asked me if I would mind if a group of people used the door in my office to enter the conference room, apparently because it would be less obtrusive than the front door. Really? Did you not notice the shit I have piled in front of said door because I DON'T USE THE DAMNED DOOR. Is this insensitive of me.
less obtrusive than the front door
For them, maybe. Apparently they don't consider people walking randomly through someone's office obtrusive. Have you thought about moving a large piece of furniture there?
Did you not notice the shit I have piled in front of said door because I DON'T USE THE DAMNED DOOR.
"Hey, would you mind moving all that stuff so we can enter the conference room unobtrusively?"
"Oh, see...that door doesn't go to the conference room."
"Yes, it does..."
"No, I know it *looks* like it does, but it really goes to...Hell."
"Hell?"
"It's a portal straight to Hell. At least I think it's Hell...might just be a hell-like parallel dimension. Anyway, no, the door does *not* go to the conference room. That's why I keep all that stuff piled in front of it; because once...
...somebody knocked."
Very few people have made the connection, and no one has had the nerve to ask before.
