Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

[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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Ugh, Vortex, what an ass.

{{{Kristin}}} You have all my sympathy; anxiety attacks are so scary. I know mine isn't the effexor because I have been on it too long with no problem, and I am hoping it is not because I went back on Adderall last week. At this point I am blaming spring allergies and PMS as the trigger, which would not be unusual for me.

I'm so happy. The nice handyman that reminds me of my grandfather was sent instead of the not!funny plumber.

Heh. "YOU CAN'T FIRE ME I QUIT!" Well, as long as his supervisor knows that he's ASS, and a loser, and doesn't give him any decent jobs, Vortex...

It's going to be a "teaching moment" for our meeting tomorrow. I will rip him a new asshole.

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

Vortex, look on the bright side. Either way, you won't have to deal with him anymore. Here is hoping that your next intern has a brain. And can at least know how to ask questions. Have fun serving him up on a silver platter!

It's too bad he's too stupid to learn, but I hope he's not so numb that he won't be scared, at least.

I wish I could yell at the person making me crazy right now, but it would get me fired.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

even though I have done it to the best of my abilities.

Sadly, that may be true. If I had to operate on his brain, I'm sure I'd do it to the best of my abilities, and he should appreciate my work.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm sure I'd do it to the best of my abilities, and he should appreciate my work.

But I tried so hard!

Edit: Apparently I've forgotten how to format on this board.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

I had a librarian come in to do a presentation to one of my classes on research and then we chatted. She said, "You've got some group here" and glanced at a couple of my biggest problems.

Vindication! I mean, I still love them, and I won't let up on the pressure (TRYING to get them to do work!) but it's so nice to know it's not just me!

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

It's going to be a "teaching moment" for our meeting tomorrow. I will rip him a new asshole.

Any chance we could get streaming video in your office by 2 PM tomorrow? I would pop popcorn and make drinks for everyone.

Dana is cheating on us with other boards, pass it on!

Go you, connie, on getting the heck out of there, within the rules, without giving into (implied) pressure. We all need time, and it's much better to take it when you need it than to explode.

I cannot believe your student assistant, Vortex. I wish you awesome vocabularies of coherent rage tomorrow.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Can someone Nilly me the post for Stephanie's address? I'm having a brain fade.
