Buffy ,'Selfless'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The rock is telling me to kill.
Yep, I would have gone with that. Or I would have announced that the rock had told me it needed souls. Fresh, bloody souls.
Dudes, I am pretty okay with ridiculous woo-woo sensitive new age fuckery, and I had been stuck in that class, I would have laughed in their faces.
Skipping way way too much (man, I miss skimming) in order to share this: [link]
That baby has the unalloyed jolly going on. It's a pure jolly.
I am not entirely shure how I would have reacted to that class. I hope, however, that now that I've been prepared, that I'll do Allyson and the rest of the Buffistas proud.
My god, I just had the longest passel of nightmares involving forced animal trait mutation and some very dubious bonding practices (but no rock). And then I wake up and it's one fucking o'clock? Do you have any idea how many people I just killed with my bare hands (that wasn't the bad part of the dream), and the night isn't even half over? Dear god.
If I hadn't bailed before lunch, I would have discovered whether I am an owl, lion, peacock, or lamb.
Did the lions get to eat the lambs for lunch?
I explained in my letter to management that I researched the trainers, and discovered that they were probably unqualified to visit JPL on a public tour.
That is hilarious. What was this training course supposed to do for you?
I just copied and pasted Allyson's posts into an IM with my coworkers who are being forced to take a "What colour is your personality" workshop. She has their sympathy and admiration.
I'm still stuck on "bond with a rock." The HELL?!?
Told to bond with a rock, I'd have been tempted to ask for a glue stick.
ATT is doing a bit of a dick move and forcing everyone who starts a new account (or decides to change their messaging plan) to have an unlimited messaging plan which is $20 for individuals, $30 a month for family plans.
Oh this is such BULLSHIT. AT&T, WHY DO YOU SUCK SO HARD???
(I assume that's $30 per PLAN for the family plans, and not $30 per line? I've convinced DH that he should switch to AT&T when his Verizon contract runs out so we can save money by going on a family plan, but if AT&T is jacking up the rates it might not be worth it after all.)
We switched to no contract plans. I hardly every use my phone as a phone, so I have limited minutes, but unlimited text & data for $25/month. The best part about the no contract plans? No taxes, so the $25 is actually $25.
I just told my staff about the rock. They might stop laughing by lunch.

I think it was over in Bitches someone mentioned Connie Willis' book Bellwether -- the bond-with-your-rock thing totally reminds me of that book.
