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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

It sucks when you realize that even though you love your workplace and all of the people you work with but are totally pants at your actual job. And not the job specifically, but any job that requires you to be chained to a desk.

My name is Aimee and I am total pants at desk jobs..

Nice thing to realize TWENTY YEARS into your working life.

I'm with you, Aims. Even though I'm not currently chained to a desk.

At least I am in school to not have a desk job. I'm thankful as hell for that.

BUT! Things I am good at: My Girl Scout troop! I wrote letters yesterday to various governmental people asking for flags and my State Rep emailed me back today - my Michigan flag will be in the mail tomorrow!!!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I hate being chained to a desk. I was miserable working in an office. Telecommuting has saved my sanity. Now I work from my living room couch, with the tv on or the windows open and the cats hanging out in my space.

There's no subsidized cafeteria, though. No free lunch, indeed.

I have no problem what so ever being chained to a desk, as long as the work doesn't require too much F2F/phone contact with other human beings.

In other words, anything but customer service, please.

it's one of those high-estrogen days. I can tell, because I am filled with RAGE. Or ANNOYANCE, anyway. Rage that can't be arsed to yell.

Verily! I've heard that many women are calmer and feel sexier when their estrogen levels are high, but I suspect we are not the same species. I long for menopause.

Not sure I'm easy to furious (oh, I love double meanings) because of estrogen levels, soon-to-be-test-season, upcoming period or not having my placebo-stuff around which keeps me calming, mostly happy human being who loves her fellow human beings, but as I said here once - I don't believe women need a specific reason to be angry, just as I don't need a specific reason to be extremely happy. But, you know, being surrounded by less idiots? I'd bet that help.

Or, to quote myself earlier on this thread: "embrace your bad mood, and hit somebody with it. I think it's bad to repress the feelings of any woman".
