"Phone Ambassador"? Srsly?
Lorne: Back in Pylea they used to call me "sweet potato." Connor: Really. Lorne: Yeah, well, the exact translation was "fragrant tuber" but…

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.

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

As if being on hold is not irritating enough, I need to repeatedly hear a recording thanking me for waiting for the next "Phone Ambassador"?

Maybe "Phone Führer" was already taken.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hey, Erin, saw this link and thought of you. I figured my fellow Virgo would like a list of things to watch out for. I think there are more pitfalls to self-employment than this, and the biggest one for me is the need to keep up with the mundane. For example, during this month of situational depression, I've let some financial stuff slide that I really can't afford to. Being self-employed means I need to keep up with it, and there's no one else to do it. My printer was having problems, and I decided I was geeky, I should be able to fix it. Hundreds of dollars later and countless piles of toner, the problem is nearly back to where it was when I started. If I were working for someone, I'd call the techs, or at worst, the person with the service contract for the printer. But I don't have one! Stuff like that.
Anyway.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
saw a dr this morning. she looked at my eye, said "yup, viral conjunctivitis." No need for antibiotic drops (tho, sadly, the steroid component is really helping a LOT) and wait a few more days for healing before popping contact back in. Call if it gets worse and she'll call in a new Rx but it's ok to use the old drops. Only missed the first 2 hrs of work, but did wake up conconscionably early to call for an appt as soon as the office opened, then couldn't go back to sleep. So got in my grocery shopping and a little gardening before the appts. Plus i was going *right* past a Chipotle on the way from Dr office to work...so lunch win. Imma gonna be exhausted by the end of the day, still waffling on whether to attempt post-work yoga with glasses and tiredness or just go home and flop into bed early.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Whoa. This company makes these scanner machines that measure your body and compare your measurements to the measurements of a ton of different clothes and tells you what to buy and in what size. [link] I totally want to try this. Looks like the only one they have so far is at King of Prussia mall outside Philadelphia.
