I went for a dress fitting today and there is still no actual dress. I'm trying very hard not to freak out.
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

[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.

bonny, I'd be tempted to tell her that putting off your clients, even for 5 minutes, isn't possible for you (subtext: because you're not rude) and suggest you meet for breakfast . . . at 6 a.m.
But I'm evil like that. And, also, awake by 6 a.m.

This is beginning to sound like The Emperor's New Clothes.

Bonny, that is evil. I'm so sorry that you bff is being so rude, especially considering your recent health woes.

Bonny and Sean, I'm sorry. People should treat you two SO MUCH FUCKING BETTER, methinks.

Thanks guys. It's good to know I'm not in left field on my own.

Sparky, this is what I will tell her, if she calls back. Except maybe for the 6am part. I'm not quite up to that! Though going to sleep early tonight is definitely on the schedule.
I can't imagine asking a client to make way for something like this. I know I should have stricter boundaries, but if something important is happening in the room, I don't quit until I absolutely have to.
Accommodating an inconsiderate schedule buster does not fall into the 'have to' category.

You may know this already, but if you pin them to a ribbon around your neck rather than to your clothes, they don't pull as much.
I discovered this when I tried to figure out how to take a shower, and repurposed one of my 438 badge lanyards.
Bonny, that's a whine worth whining. Hopefully it will have a happy resolution.

WHAT?
If you had just described it, without the picture, I might not not believed it. Seriously?
I've always been offended by the sexualization of Disney movies (the three busty blonds in the background of countless scenes in Beauty and the Beast...I'm lookin' at you) but that is ridiculous.
At least use the creature name and not the character. What's the point of that?
