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.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

[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.

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

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
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!!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oooh, I could hang it on the wall, crossed with my pink and black croquet mallet. That would be perfect!
You could paint a tiny silhouette of each of your victims on it....

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My own behavior is very different if I'm focusing on a person, instead of something I'm working on, when I tend to be abrupt and possibly rather brusque. It's hard to look at one's own behavior from the outside, but I think I can switch back and forth between "people mode" and "information/task mode" in a half-second, which probably leaves many people confused. I can see how someone, especially someone whose own primary mode of engagement is people/emotion focused, might misunderstand my "task mode" as me being dismissive or insensitive to her/him personally.
I suppose I could work on that. Or I could just be relieved that my primary communication with my co-workers now is by email.

Also, I'm afeared if that happens the mix will turn up at the next F2F.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I think I deserve a pat on the back for not letting my brain liquify and drain out my ears just trying to imagine it.

And this must be why they call you The Empress.

Permission granted gladly, but you'll have to wait a couple months. The bump in its current state is easily mistaken for beer-belly.
I'm told to work on my bluntness at every single performance review I've ever had. It's a thing.
