Thanks, folks. I'm feeling very Anya fruit-punch-y.
t edit And I totally appreciate that I can use that as shorthand and alla y'all will understand what I mean.
I am not having sex with Spike! But I'm starting to think that you might be.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm sorry Steph, I agree it can be hard when a co-worker dies, especially when it's someone you've worked with closely.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Steph, I'm so sorry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm really sorry, Tep. And what Hec said rings very true for me: work losses are huge, and leave holes just as big as you'd expect for someone who lives in 1/3 of your time, and yet they aren't mourned in the same way as the ones where the main connection is an emotional one. They feel strange and unmoored and almost harder to resolve, in some ways. I know your workplace is pretty small and tight, with a lot of people who have worked together for a long time: I hope you can all find comfort.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I'm sorry, Steph.

So the nip-it-in-the-bud plan seems to be working, and several mutual friends have responded that this guy has been freaking them out for over a year now.
What was shocking was how fast it went from me very politely and clearly trying to draw a boundary with him to SCARY ENERGY CREATURE INFECTING MY ENTIRE LIFE!
But it's over for now, I hope. Leaving it behind to go mix an awesome show, and be and bask in awesomeness.

Deserving of its own post, your grandfather is in my thoughts, smonster.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Sean, I hope that's the end of it.
