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.

Y'all, I had a great day today. I let go of trying to manage the pace of work, and was much calmer, and everyone else was much calmer. I let puppy boy go at his pace for the most part, and he came to me for help and/or direction when he needed it. I got home and actually had spoons to spare, so I'm entering back receipts into my budget software.
There was a sad moment that won't leave me, though. A man around 60 with a patch on his eye came up and asked to speak to the person in charge, being me. He spun a tale of woe about HIV (he was very skinny) and his wife dying and needing $21 and could I give him some work. Now, he may have been putting me on, but dude deserves an Oscar if so. He looked about to cry and pretty forlorn. So I told him I couldn't hire him and gave him $5 and a cup of water. Uggh, I hate this world sometimes. I know they say to give to the shelters, but sometimes I just have to give to the person in front of me, and let them decide how to use the money.

Sometimes one-eyed starving homeless guys need some whiskey. I know I would.

bonny, Kato and I just sent good thoughts eastward to Bartleby and you. He has serious healing mojo, and I'm honestly not kidding. All paws crossed.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
All best thoughts to you and Bartleby, Bonny.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
My diamond shoes are too tight. The lining of my coat is torn, so I want to get it replaced. The coat cost about $300, so I figure anything under $100 is worthwhile. They wanted $220. REALLY? I just checked the Nordstrom website, and a new coat that is very similar is $298. That's like $70 for a new coat!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I hate that. I'd love for it to be more economical to repair things. But the system is set up for disposability.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
But the system is set up for disposability.
It really is and it makes me sad.

Yes and no. You can mass produce a new coat. You can't really mass replace a new lining.
