OH MY FUCKING GOD. My mother asked me about setting up a computer network. I suggested that she ask my brother WHO FUCKING DID I.T. SUPPORT FOR A LIVING. And she said "well, I don't want to ask K because I don't want to take him away from his family. I don't want to ask him to do too much". Oh, but it's fine to ask ME to do shit.
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did you say no? I know these things are near to impossible with family, but still. I mean, you're just not better suited for it. If he can't do it, let him say no.

I said no, because it's one thing to fool around plugging and unplugging if it's your network, but I'm not going to do it with someone else hovering over my shoulder making "helpful" suggestions.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Jesus. Good luck, Vortex - she really, really really needs to take on board that you have a life, and that you are not just going to slot into the empty space in hers.

Ugh. The premise that you don't have a life worth preserving if you don't have a family drives me batshit. Good on you for standing firm, Vortex.

And the shit keeps rolling. Just found out that I didn't make the interview cut for a job I wanted (it was a reach, but still) and they've instituted mandatory unpaid leave.

Wow, Vortex. Throw in a little rectal surgery and it's the best day ever. Yikes.

Puerto Rico announced today they are laying off 40K government employees. People are sort of freaking out.

Cash, you jinxed me. I don't know whether to scream or cry right now. Remember the stupid student assistant who didn't make the copies because there was no paper? I have just now discovered that he has done something else stupid. You know how when you're in college, you have a "school address" where you're living and a "permanent address" where your parents live?
I have now just discovered that for "school address", he put THE FUCKING UNIVERSITY'S ADDRESS in the database. So, having printed a bunch of letters and FedEx labels, I now realized that all of the letters are wrong, the labels are wrong and HE'S A FUCKING IDIOT.

Wow, that is crushingly stupid.
