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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Apparently we can scan from them to our email addresses or something?

Our new copier does that, too!

And now there's a whole kerfluffle going on about where to put the new copier. (It seems like you just put it where the old one was, but there's a total diva who insists that it be put in her area because she uses it the most and it's an inconvenience for her to keep getting up. Even though she managed to do it the old way for YEARS. No one likes her, and everyone goes out of their way to give her whatever she wants, because she throws EPIC tantrums when she doesn't get her way. I don't understand how reinforcing her shitty diva attitude is good management, but whatever.)

I don't want the new copier in her area because it's in my line of sight, and seeing the endless stream of people at the copier is distracting, but eh. I'll adapt. Unlike Diva!co-worker. (Seriously, NO ONE likes her. She is from hell. I just never bitch about her on here because I almost never have to interact with her, so her tantrums generally don't affect me, other than to provide amusement and bemusement.)

Tep, they should put it in her cube Dilbert-style. Then everyone who uses it can interrupt her with requests for a stapler, paper clips, paper, pens, etc. I had the copier right outside my cube at one workplace and it was pure hell. Too bad it would be disruptive to you as putting it near her would totally drive her batshit crazy.

No, she basically wants it next to her desk. I am not kidding. And she's a black hole -- if you go near her, she will start talking...and talking...and talking...and talking... You seriously have to just walk away while she's still talking because if you wait for her to stop (or even take a breath), she WILL NEVER STOP.

So really, no one wants the copier by her because no one wants to get trapped in her chatty abyss.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Tep...they should put the copier by her desk. And then shift everyone's desks around so she is the farthest away. Isn't it time for a full office reorg?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Keep your head down, Shir.

I am super curious about the marks on her forehead but it seems rude to ask a new dad why his newborn looks like someone pressed a sweater wristband into her face.

Babies get super squished coming out. Also, their skulls are very flexy at that stage. Fortunately their noggins snap back, but Emmett's head when he was newborn was rather banana-ish. He was all normal by the next day, and in fact, it was frequently commented on that he had a very round head as a baby.

I have achieved a good work out. I compensated for the lack of leg machines that I can use by remembering exercises I can do seated and ones I can do holding onto a bar.

Our wings are not tired.

Google had a birthday doodle for me!

Nifty! They should have a doodle for you. And happy birthday.

{{Shir}} Yikes! I can't even imagine. Sanity~ma to those around you.

I have achieved a good work out.

Yay!

I have Democratic happy hour tonight. Nice folks, but I'm like the group zygote, so it's not really helpful with the NGA problem.(I mean, I like older partners, but probably not *that* older.) But the food's good and the election should have everyone in high spirits.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Babies get super squished coming out. Also, their skulls are very flexy at that stage.

It's not the shape of her head that's odd, it's the pattern imprinted into her forehead. I would assume it was from a knit cap (a very tight knit cap with a ridge in it to leave that kind of pattern) but she doesn't look like she's made it to the 'wrap em up' stage yet. I wonder if forceps leave an impression?

Thanks, Laura! I find what I miss the most about having the PT their when I work out is being told how well I'm doing. Apparently I am a sucker for positive reinforcement.
