Thanks for the birthday wishes. I got lots of flowers and chocolates and it has been a nice relaxing day. And yesterday, I won a case and my client was returned to his wife and five kids brut was even better than today.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

Aww, that's wonderful for a pre-birthday awesome. You rock.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Excellent, Nonian, and happy birthday!

Oh, god, dude, no, flush the toilet after we're done with the call. I don't need to know I've been chatting with you while you're in the john.
edit: Be well, Dallas!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Ha! That happened at last week's town hall before the meeting. Something like 200 people on a call, and a hundred or so more in several conference rooms across the country, and while we waited for one of the muckity mucks to start speaking...a toilet flushes.

Our wings are not tired
I amazed that some people remember to breathe so it doesn't surprise me at all that they are outwitted by a mute button.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm still not entirely sure why anyone puts the whole of a conference call on hold, to music. Unless it's you're meeting, and you really want to drag everything to a screeching halt in your absence, DON'T DO IT. IT'S RUDE. Use your mute button, or hang up and call back in.

The hold button is big and red, the mute button could be almost anything and someone might have to hunt for it.
