Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

[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.

I have to warn you all that morning's on it's way.

I'm OK with that. Because Morning is still Sunday. Monday, however, is to be avoided.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Thanks for all the congrats, all. I'm so relieved that I'll be able to do my job (starting tomorrow, no less), although I'm also really frustrated that it's involved this much stress. Thinking of writing to my MP about the process, especially since the agency in question is in the spotlight a bit because of cuts. I don't want anyone else to be so worried about being unable to do their job that they get ill(er). But, bright side and all that - teaching tomorrow! I'm still working on my notes. Bit nervous about university-level teaching. Should be much fun though.

Today in the Watcher-in-Training house, we're choosing invitation designs. We're looking for something simple. We are not over-complicated people.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I am not sober.

I am guessing there are more interesting things I could post, but they might take too much work

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Seska, if you'll find the time and the energy to do so, I think it'll be valueable.

Good luck with the teaching tomorrow, and with choosing the designs!

No no no no no.

You're very interesting. Mostly now. Do tell what's on your mind.

I agree with Shir. Beth, you are very interesting. I was wondering what you think of wearing sarongs?

It's -17˚F now. I thought that uber-cold shit was only supposed to be one day. As I told my brother yesterday, you know it has been flippin' cold when single-digit temperatures seem not so bad.

I can't even imagine that kind of temperature, WS.

So, the company I work for is having a six week exercise challenge - fill in a score card by checking off a box for every ten minutes of physical activity (can include housework such as sweeping or vacuuming, as well as exercise). People who do three ten minute periods of activity every day for six weeks can enter a drawing for prizes. I decided to actually enter this, for no better reason than I can tell my therapist that I'm not just sitting on my ass. I actually like the idea. What I don't like is the way that a supervisor mentioned that the company is keeping track of who participates, and who doesn't. That seems ominous.

You really should. Every time I hear about something like this I think about those people who are unable to fight as hard for what they need as you were able to in this situation.

It could be ominous, but that doesn't matter if you actually have other motivations for participating. Do watchu wannado for you...um...dude.
