Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have meetings from 10AM - 2PM and no, they are not bringing in lunch. This is very unfriendly to PG people! Hope they're ready for me to take lots o' breaks.

I think you should casually mention how being preggers makes you hungry all the time and then faint dramatically about 20 minutes later.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Any chance you could puke on a conference table, Cookie?

It would be embarassing, but remarkably effective.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I like this plan.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Too bad no one uses overhead projectors anymore. Because if you puked on that, you'd see lots of pretty patterns being projected....

Just stand up at around 1PM, sway dramatically, appear to be ready to collapse (maybe even catch yourself on your chair)and say, "oh, I'm sorry, I'v been in so many meetings, I didn't have a chance to eat"

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I have two weekly noon meetings and whenever I've said something about it, my boss acts like I'm being a big baby. Whatevs.

You should gently remind your boss that pregnancy is considered a disability in California and therefore entitled to the protections afforded under the California disabilty act as well as the ADA.

And the cluestick him/her.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Yikes Brenda! Not good. Ma-Job~ma!!

~ma to Rigatoni as well.

DJ, any updates?

And as if there isn't enough craziness going on in our lives, our scenic artist had a heart attack. It's looking ok, but dude had TONS of blockage. Stinted a couple arteries, then saw the other side of the heart had tons of blockage. Doc said if he realized it was that bad, he would have done open heart, but instead just stinted the other side. Something like 90% block, 80% block and 75% block on the three major arteries.

Shir, congrats on the new cousin! That's great!!! We need more news like this.

Oh, and it appears my mother got a "new" 2007 Chevy Aveo yesterday. She called to tell me. She sounded a bit snooty, as if to point out, "see, I do call you", so maybe the guilt trip worked a bit.

Noon meetings without food are the DEVIL'S WORK.

Looking at it a little closer, it wouldn't work for us because there's no back yard and the sides and front don't appear as if they can be fenced. Which- a fenced back yard is sort of a requirement with the beasties. Pity, because it looked like a really pretty house.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I haven't heard anything today. I thought I'd call on my way home to see how it's going.

When's your dad's surgery? We'll be sending good thoughts his way.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I am home today, after leaving early yesterday. I finally succumbed to this cold or flu or whatever is kicking my ass. I slept 11 hours and feel almost human. Very nice to wake up to so many interesting posts on the board.
