I know. I am at the end of my rope though, and occasionally it shows through more than I'd like it to.
Too bad that's not the preferred kind of frantic.
I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
P.-C., so she got hurt and upset because you ... answered her question, without elaborating or embellishing it with casual pleasantries, because you were busy? Man. I must be pissing people off left and right, then.

Heh. It was not my most grievous moment of condescension, no, but I may have been a little snappish. In any case, it's good to note that, hey, she's maybe a little oversensitive!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
It is interesting ...
I always think of manners as oil for gears. It makes thing smoother.
My own way of speaking is very abrupt. I forget please and thank you way too much. As in I notice a big difference in reactions when I am not quite as abrupt.

This! This! Part of the reason the various writers I've worked with at the Big Tech Co. all like me as an editor is because I say "please" and "thank you". Even when I want to beat them with the style guide.

I suddenly want to mount a style guide on the handle of a croquet mallet for Jilli.

Oooh, I could hang it on the wall, crossed with my pink and black croquet mallet. That would be perfect!

I've decided not to get into a comments argument about pregnancy dietary guidelines as it relates to Top Chef judging. I think I deserve a pat on the back for this.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Our comapny does a mix-CD every year that we give out at our holiday party. This year's theme is "Favorite Song". Out of 27 people, I've received 2 songs. So I sent out the following:
Hello All!!
Just a friendly reminder about sending me the title and artist of your all-time favorite song! So far I've only received two and I need yours by Friday. All vacant slots will be filled with music by The Backstreet Boys, Jon Tesh, and Hannah Montana and assigned to your name!! (ha ha ha! or, rather, ho ho ho!)
Happy Holidays!!
