I didn't spend that much time on a journal-sized page when I was working with wax, an Xacto knife and border tape.
Angel: Just admit it: you think you're gonna ride in, save the day, and sweep Buffy off her--Spike: Like you're not thinking the same thing. Angel: I'm already seeing somebody. Spike: What, dog girl?

[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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Dear Admin,
The thing you are talking about will take me 45 seconds to do. Why are you making me spend 5 minutes convincing you that it's okay for you to ask me to do it, even after I've told you I am the person who is supposed to do it?

I'm sorry to be such a one note wonder today. I just realized that this whole "Gifted and Talented" program thing isn't available in California anymore (or is on a very limited basis) due to their budget cuts. One more bonus for moving.
And as much as I am enjoying Colorado, I am very much looking forward to my California weekend!!! Just a few more days!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Let me see, Toddson -- 3.5 hours (splitting the difference) per page times 48 pages equals 168 hours that the two of you would spend on the journal. Which means, according to boss, you each should spend two weeks each month doing nothing but that journal. With one of you putting in an extra day.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
it's not quite that bad ... about 18 to 20 pages would be ads. But, yeah, I get antsy after spending two hours on a single story ... the thought of spending three to four hours on a page ... there just isn't that much time in the world (and he doesn't do any layout ... he may sit and tell me what he wants me to do with the layout, but he doesn't do it himself).
I've spoken with our COO and, now that schmuckface is a contract employee, I'm cutting back to eight hours a day.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Suzi, I've been sitting here reading along and bouncing and grinning with joy for you and CJ. Yay for his new confidence (eager to enter a poetry contest! How awesome is that?) and a fresh start and a school system that's giving him the opportunity to be his best self!
I'm still bitter that California couldn't do that for him and that we don't still get you 24/7 instead of on a thrilling but rare weekend every once in a blue moon, but mostly just SO HAPPY for both of you.
Tons of ~ma to your dad and your family, Calli.
And lots and lots of germ avoidance~ma to you, Kristin. Your poor body has been flogged and flayed by illness for way too long. All the sick in LA needs to go find someone else to pick on for a while--or, really, just to go find nobody else, give up, and leave.

dude, 44 should be something Obama-esque, no? The timing is pretty dang perfect. Is there a Spike quote about hope? Just an idea.
ION: tonight is book club night. I have a) not read the book. and b) food shopped to bring something pot luck. c) tired. And thinking of not going.
((((( Bitches )))))) Seems like we really a group hug here.
