It's Friday afternoon, I haven't been sleeping well, and I'm plowing through Google Alerts for news affecting the design and construction industry ... I'm easily amused.
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

If anyone's interested, story about Green Lantern movie being filmed in a "green" studio.very cool! I wonder how practical some of the things are. The biggest thing that is bad for the environment with filming is the sets. We were talking about that at work today. A show that shoots down here in TX (well, pilot + 5 episodes) was set in a law firm, so lots of fancy glass and wood offices. Show is canceled. They put a catch can around the glass, and toss a hammer into it, and throws it all out. Breaks the heart, no?

I used to work 9:30 to 6:30, and mostly was 9:45ish to...whenever. I do looooove the flexibility of my current job, much as I sometimes curse the "Hi, I was at the airport at 5:30AM" or "I got home at 9PM", there are other bennies of "I woke up at 8AM and was on a conference call in my pajamas and then took a shower after and got coffee and now am watching TV for an hour" etc.

I work in a different building than my boss and the rest of my coworkers, so no one knows when I'm here or not. I aim for 9:30, get in closer to 10, but rare is the day when I leave the office before 6. back when I had the commute, I generally didn't leave before 6:30 because the traffic was bad.

Our wings are not tired.
Yeah, the traffic is a large part of why I go in later and stay later.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I have not really tried to telecommute (mostly because I wouldn't have access to everything as a contractor). The one time I had to because the building was closed for a snow day, I had to "work from bar" because our internet access was out at the house. I don't think anyone would care.
It's about to get to the point where I may have to work from home once every two weeks or so though, because I'm getting a lot of people dropping by my cube and making it difficult to get my crucial stuff done-not timewise, but concentration-wise.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Best of luck, Pix.
My boss seems incredibly fair about the time thing. I make it in at 8:05, pretty much, and leave at varying times. But I'm a contractor and I'm not allowed to bill more than 40 hours. I tend to front load the week and work 9 hour days to shorten my Friday, but then I feel guilty leaving before him, like I will today. Especially because he dumped new project on me yesterday. But still! Contractor!

I'm not allowed more than 40 either, which is why I'm out in a few.

I'm out in an hour, if I can bear to walk past his office.
