No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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.

Jesus H. Christ on a crutch Matt. Sorry you are going through this. Glad you are getting the help you need. Hope the help helps you cope with the depression and other problems.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

All best possible thoughts, Matt. Steady recovery and stress-coping methods to you.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Matt, tons of ~ma headed your way. If there is anything any of us can do for you, don't hesitate to ask.

Aaaaauugh. The stress-triggered eczema on the back of my neck, thankfully, doesn't itch right now. (Two nights of Benadryl helped with that AND sleeping.) But it's at the flaking, skin-peeling stage, and the mere knowledge of that makes me itch psychosomatically. Must not claw off skin. Must not.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Jilli, would wrapping it or wearing a cold compress or turtleneck help?

I may wrap a scarf around it. A cold compress would just make me chilled, and I'm already feeling kinda cold. The main problem is that it DOESN'T itch, but knowing that I'm shedding like a snake is maddening.

Stupid stress-triggered eczema. Why couldn't I have gotten a stress-triggered reaction of not eating?

(I kid, I kid! Mostly. There's a tiny part of my brain that thinks that would have been handy.)

move out and draw fire

Matt, thanks for checking in! Loads of ~ma to you.

I'm celebrating Buffistas & Adjacent Sick Day. Actually I got a head start yesterday. Bronchitis sucks.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Matt, all kinds of ~ma for you, love. I am so glad you got the help you needed and hope you continue to.

Thrive to spite them

So I temped today at one of the places I didn't get the job (the one i was told about when I was on vacation) and I worked next to the Woman They Picked Instead of Me.

I realize I only saw what 1 day was like, but I think it's a good thing she got it. The way the office is laid out, what I saw of her responsibilities and a few other things, it would have been a bad fit for me. A lot of detailed info to keep track of and way too many distractions.
