Ok, which LAistas are going to come here with me: Villains' Tavern? Steampunk Victorian bar! The owner said it's what would happen if Jimi Hendrix and Jack the Ripper opened a bar in the 1860s. Awesome.

Better yet, which Buffistas want to come VISIT and go with me?

Coffee:

Aims, can you ask?

Steampunk Victorian bar! The owner said it's what would happen if Jimi Hendrix and Jack the Ripper opened a bar in the 1860s.

I WANT TO GO TO THERE.

There was supposed to be a steampunk bar opening in Brooklyn, but it seems to have fallen through.

Purple! Because it's the only place in Seattle I know!

Hee! I do enjoy it--I went there with an ex-coworker who was in town! But I'm not sure how well this date will go, and it might be a little higher priced than I want.

Bastille, hmmm, Jilli? I will check it out

Pix - I could but ... I'm on the internets an awful lot. I could get fired, who knows. I hope not. But I could. And I don't know that I want the answer to that.

Gotcha. Maybe give yourself a schedule for when you're allowed interweb breaks? That's what I do at school, and it has made a huge difference in my productivity.

If I had the budget for a weekend trip, I would come down as soon as possible.

Okay, creepy jockey guy just poked his head into the room I'm in and said, "Hey, do you know [ND's niece's first name, pronounced incorrectly]'s last name?"

Um. Yes. She's my niece. He was on the phone talking to someone, and since I know niece is helping him to sell his horse, I gave it to him. But seriously, WHO IS THIS GUY? Why does he not think it's weird to be in someone else's house asking personal questions?

Pix, that is entirely creepy. I hate people who don't understand normal boundaries.

Aims, HR requires a job description for all roles and usually reviews and updates them annually. They could just be doing to normal annual updating. I just updated mine and my direct reports' for HR.
