My new officemates are very loud. Even with earplugs in, I can follow every word of their conversation. They've been here for less than a week, and I'm already having "Too many people!" issues.
Kaylee: H-how did you... g-get on...? Early: Strains the mind a bit, don't it? You think you're all alone. Maybe I come down the chimney, Kaylee. Bring presents to the good girls and boys.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[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.

“Not dead yet!”
Huge hit. She's sitting in the dollhouse now, surrounded by all the stuff. We'll take some pictures.
Oh excellent! We're looking forward to seeing any and all pics. Those dolls and their accessories are just the best-- they were so great for interactive play.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Oof, that's no good, Hil. Is there somewhere else you can go work, if you're doing non-computery stuff? (I've been working in a faculty lounge, and it's usually mostly empty)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
As he is able to turn his head while sitting, don't forget to test his hearing.
Oh, his hearing's fine. In Australia every baby gets a hearing test just a day or two after birth as long as the parents don't object (why would anyone object?) - I think it's quite awesome they can do this so young - and gets checked again when they get a check-up with the nurse. (We have a check-up today in fact, in a couple of hours.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Most of what I'm doing is computer stuff. The math lab is usually full of undergrads. The computer lab has only two computers, and usually the undergrad math majors who are working on research get priority for those, since they don't have office computers.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Curses! My new neighbors are not hot nubile single women.
