Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

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.

Librarian Warlord

is he being disruptive?

No, definitely not disruptive. He's just using the space to study and lounge in and it feels sort of invasive to me. I guess I feel like that is where the staff gets to go to socialize, eat, and spend break time. Our options for this are very limited, especially spaces away from our patrons where we can vent a little. He, on the other hand, has lots of options on campus where he can go and eat his lunch among peers. Our lounge is just the closest microwave.

Hmm. Then he probably shouldn't be hanging out there. But I'm not sure how you could get that across to him.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I am still pouting about not having that Chocolate Bliss cupcake.

Well, clearly you need to come visit.

He, on the other hand, has lots of options on campus where he can go and eat his lunch among peers.

Hmm, yes, I can see how that would be annoying. I'm not sure how to frame it, though.

Jilli, I should send you a picture of my bat necklace, except I'm not sure how it would photograph. It's made of jet, was handcarved in Indonesia, and the bat is hanging upside down like it's sleeping.

OMG so pissed. Our office is freezing (v. high ceilings) and I've been wearing a hat and armwarmers all week, and they (HVAC) won't turn on the heat until Dec. 1st for some mysterious reason. But THEIR department has heat, right down the hall, and they shut the door so none of it comes down our way. Screw this mess, I'm going to talk to the supervisor, and if that doesn't work I'm going up the chain.

That's not right. They need to either share the warmth or freeze with everyone else. Asshats.

Well, once again the shop guys are spreading bullshit rumors. The boiler should be turned on and if it's still cold on Monday we just do a work order.

This is why one shouldn't accept anything at face value around here.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

smonster, so you'll have heat on Monday? At least that's something! Hope you can stay warm till the end of today.

They found The Girl's suitcase. It was still in London. British Airways - the efficient airline.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

At least she won't be overdressed in the heat?

Out of ignorance, malice, or just not wanting to have to do anything?

Oh, that sounds so pretty!

My mom just called me to let me know they arrived in California safely. They're going to Disneyland, drat them. But my parents, being my parents, have promised to ask for my rental agreement at the Haunted Mansion.

Trust my rage

Well, Frisco has flu-like symptoms (really? no kidding?) that are almost certainly H1N1. So, no daycare for a week. And he has an ear infection. He's sleeping a lot so I hope that will help him get better.
