[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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That can't possibly equal a fail at adulthood. There wasn't even an emergency room involved.
Aims, you're dealing with what some experts think is the most addictive substance known to man. If nicotine was an illegal drug, there'd be thousands of rehab centers devoted to it.
Why does gravity hate me? Why yes, I did fall down again. Thanks to karate, I seem to be much better at rolling, but falling correctly is much less effective when you fall backwards onto two concrete blocks. I haven't even tried to do the contortions it would take to see what my back looks like; I just downed ibuprofen with a beer and lay on an ice thing for a while.

I expect you're one of the Wright Brothers reincarnated. Probably Orville.

I did see that in the news. I just wish I had been able to see him pitch during the season.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Now I kind of wish I'd gone to Chipotle. Maybe sometime later this week.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
He told me that I've got to take control and make my advisor do the stuff he's supposed to do
But...but...seriously?

Did he provide a handgun? Or at least a cattle-prod?

not your mom's socks.
shit i didn't say: To the person who contracted a custom online store application, talked her way out of the CYA deposit, and moved on to another product at the end of development phase without paying, when I saw her facebook status light up with "frustrated with tech support": NEENER.

Hil, can you channel Vortex for your next advisor meeting?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Well, I kinda understand. Hil has been treating the adviser as she would wish to be treated, like an adult--allowing him time to respond to requests, asking rather than telling, giving him the benefit of the doubt. This doesn't work on him, obviously. He's a douche.
She is going to have to start doing things like showing up at times not her meeting time to make sure he is there and pinning him down. Saying, for example, I need you to do this and this. I will be back here in two days to pick thje work up from you and if he doesn't have it done at that time say "I can wait." She has to say things like "I understand that you don't like my style of writing, but others do and I am going to stick with it for now. I only want to go over the math from now on."
