You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

I am looking what will possibly be a 12-hour day. Massive storms, large companies deciding now is a great time to update everyone through a major update, record-breaking volume.

But as of yet, no one has died/been killed in the office.

Yet.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I *loved* Poisoner's Handbook. But the wood alcohol chapters scared the shit out of me.

Because books.

Are gifts a done thing for a first communion? We just got invited to the next door neighbor's son's a week from Sunday.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

But as of yet, no one has died/been killed in the office.

For goodness sake, you can't just leave it to the last minute! Get busy!

Yup! Money's good too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My coworker just asked the same thing! Except it's a nephew in her case. The verdict was yes, gifts/money.

The guy across the cubicle wall from me may just achieve an aneurysm. But I am going home.

Excellent. Thanks, people. My niece and nephew were out of the country when they did theirs, so I had no clue.

Yay, Perkins, and go Gud!

Sorry about the work stress, Connie and sarameg. I'm in the middle of student move-out, which is our second-busiest week at work (behind student move-in), plus I'm weaning myself off Celexa a tad bit faster than doctor's orders, so I've discovered that I'm prone to WILD mood swings this week. Very unpredictable!

I usually tip 20% for most everything, unless I know the person, or I find them unbearably charming somehow, and then I tip a little more.

Oh! Tip type question! So, yesterday I got a massage, because I'd "won" an hour gift certificate there at a silent auction. Now, normally I go to spa-type places, and charge by card, and there's a tip line, and I tip 20%ish.

But this place was all "we do medical massage! It's for insurance!" etc etc, though they had a cash price (lower than the insurance one). And of course, I was paying with gift card. In that sort of instance, was I supposed to tip? I didn't, the one time I went and got a massage at a place using my doctor's prescription.
