'Safe'
[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 feel ya. I object to any serious conversation in text or tweet form.
It's right up there with "Guess what!"
Dude, these exchanges are BRIEF. I am not doing this with you for an hour. I am not doing this with you in any sort of earnest. Where, when, and goofing off during meetings is the extent of appropriate thumb-typed 140 character communiqués.
I. Have. WATER.

Trudy, I'm so sorry about Dallas. I'm glad you have a vet you can talk to.

Plus, I just hate the needy "Are you mad at meeeeee?" question, especially coming from someone I really have no relationship with beyond acquaintanceship. I mean, I know acquaintances can get mad at each other, but I don't interact with her enough for feelings to really be an issue.
Yay, water!
I think serious tweeting is weird, but I guess if you're doing it privately...it's just defaulted to so public. However, I can be serious in bursts of 140 characters. My texts can be just as emotive as short b.org posts.

Heh. I always want to say, "Well, now I am, Drama Queen." Never goes well when I do, of course.
On the other hand, I can understand wanting the love and approval of La Teppalina.

Oh my god, I totally want to reply with that!

It is like basking in my warm glowing glowing warmth.

Fair 'nuff -- I just object to receiving them. If I were walking down the street or waiting in line or dicking around during a meeting, "I'm preg. Husb is not father. BF has been beating me & I have cancer. Do u think I should get an abor or go through with it?" is annoying.
Actually, its not QUITE as bad as "Are you mad at meeeeeee?" because at least I can give a one word answer.
I always think I should have worn them when I get there but I never remember to buy them.
You can always grab some paper towels or napkins and fake it. I've done that in the past at very loud shows and it makes a big difference.
Actually, paper towels/toilet paper doesn't do much DRY. If you are going down that route, and hey, sometimes you are desperate, you get far better attenuation if you get it wet first, and squish the heck out of it, and then put them in your ears. For more details, see this link: [link]

ION - Due to the lovely California State economy, the UC system is facing huge cuts. And the school of the arts that I work for, even larger cuts (since we are cash poor to begin with, and not a research area of study). Rumor has it there will be 8 layoffs in the school of the arts. Thankfully I am no longer the last hired, so if they go that route, I know of at least 4 people ahead of me. So, not fully safe. I've been told by a few people that my job is safe, due to the lack of anyone else to cover the position. But. It's a state job, during a bad economy. Logic isn't known to be running wild right now. So. Job~ma would be appreciated.
