You could always say "Well, I *do* have other skills, but they'd probably get me arrested."
Jayne: There's times I think you don't take me seriously. I think that ought to change. Mal: Do you think it's likely to?

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.

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?

I love you, erika. Even though you just made me choke on a banana. (Unfortunately, NOT a euphemism.)

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
HA! Like I said, I have disengaged, but...tempting, erika!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Dude, seriously, don't touch the crazy. It'll just get its gooey slime all over you. So much better to point and laugh.

I *thought* I was participating in an intelligent convo with professionals. The naivete, it burns...

Our wings are not tired.
Oh Erin. I am glad you're not letting it get to you. I'm kind of a renowned expert in my particular area of technical knowledge in my job, and I *still* have idiots trying to undermine me on teh interwebs.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm still coughing. This is really getting old.

Oh, Hil, the recovery time for bronchitis sucks. I hope it gets better very soon.
javachik, yeah. I was all "I AM ANG!..ry? Naw...oh, WTF, lurkers support me in email and they're awesome. On to better things!"
In my head, natch.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
But my doctor said I could have some arthritis starting in my hip that could be referring pain out to the muscle and causing trigger points (which in turn make the muscles have pain). Which would still make it mostly a muscular thing in the end, but I guess if I have some arthritis starting it would be good to know.
That's the issue I'm having with my shoulder. Building muscle strength has been helping a lot, though.
Also, another payoff from the weight training is that moving the HYOOGE potted bay tree inside for the winter was not the onerous task I had expected. This spring, I could barely haul it outside. Today, I just picked it up and marched it into the breezeway with little trouble.

In other news, I am dealing with some unpleasant work drama. There has been some rearrangement within our division, and our department is merging with another, smaller one. While our department is hardly blameless in this regard, some people in the other department are treating any suggestion that they might have to change some of their processes to comply with our department's more stringent compliance scrutiny as a form of oppression.
Yes, I know that change is unpleasant. Yes, I know they're dealing with the trauma of going from a small department to being part of a much larger one where responsibilities are divvied up a little differently. But I swear to god, if one more person tries to justify keeping some process because "we worked so hard on it!" or says that stating a difference of opinion is "shutting them down" I'm going to lose it. Dudes, if you expect us to be flexible and re-examine how we do things, then extend us the same courtesy.
