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.
Here's to Cuban coffee, Laura.
{{{Sparky}}} Here's hoping it stays at symptoms and doesn't blow up into anything bigger or nastier. And that the sproglet doesn't catch anything.
Yay for sleep, Anne!
Seska, here's hoping iron helps perk you up. (From one anemic to another.)
Yeah, that's about all I've got.
Much health~ma to Sparky and baby, and smonster, and Seska, and anyone else who may need it.
Now's the time when I completely blank on TomW's hair colour.
HA! He's a ginger. But it was an actual cat I was referring to upthread.
email me with your wish list, and I'll let you know what he says about places and possible availabilities.
Ooh, I will definitely do this once we know what's what.
Ugh, Sparky. I hope you feel better soon and that K doesn't catch what you have.
Feel Better, Sparky!
Nora! I missed most of the talk about you moving here (silly work), but I needed to add my YAY.
You mentioned working at Stanford and living in/near Oakland though--that would be a hell of a commute. You should move to this part of the bay instead.
I am now convinced I have hand tourettes.
J, one of my co-workers that I adore, said, "Hey - I'm going to send you another work order, that cool?" It was, so I went to give the thumbs up.
And flipped her off.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME??

Yeah, I considered that. Which part of the bay are you at, again?

My DH did the commute for a year from Berkeley to Palo Alto, and it was 2 hours each way on public transportation. He wasn't much better off in a car.
Dear God, so much ~ma to everyone around. Really.

Nothing, IMHO. It's also can be interpreted as a good thing. I think.
And now: why the hell every time I quote the claim that there can't be great richness if there ain't great poverty people think I'm referring to zero-sum, and not to the law of conservation of energy?
Sigh. And they call themselves professors.
Which part of the bay are you at, again?
I am in Belmont, which is roughly half way between SF and Palo Alto. If you are thinking Silicon Valley for jobs, Mountain View, Palo Alto, San Mateo or Redwood city would be good. A fair number of people who work in my office live in SF as well.

I know the latter is a law of physics and the former something to do with economics, but then I'm stumped (I was never very good at either subject). What were you referring to in this discussion with your professor(s)?
