Great.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

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.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Ya know, there are days when I love my job dearly, and days when it's all I can do to not hate humanity in it's entirety. So glad for ya'll (and kitten cams) to get me through the day. If they ever tried to take away our internet we'd all revolt. Today I’ve been dealing with some of those most frustratingly ignorant people in my fair city.
Example the first: "I think I got a fake check, we were selling GS cookies and I got this check from a lady who looked totally American but the name on the check was super foreign." (Reassured her that sometimes people have names that don’t match their apparent ethnicity due to marriage, etc, and a bank should be able to verify whether the check is valid.)
And worse: Male who called to complain that a “black female” stared at him “intensively” at the WalMart. Went back and forth with him for a rather long time before the conversation resolved into me having to actually say, out loud, all of the following statements: “Looking at you is not a crime….being black is not a crime…being a black woman is not a crime…being a black woman in public is not a crime…looking at someone while being a black woman is not a crime…being black does not make someone an ‘assailant’…please stop referring to all black people as ‘assailants’…I really can’t continue talking to you, there are other people needing to report actual crimes.”
I kinda wish I could report *him* to the police, except that at first he sounded so scared and timid I actually thought maybe there had been some kind of assault and he was just afraid to talk about it openly.

Art Crawl!!!
I've got an appt to see a place Tuesday morning. Early reports from people who know make it sound like this is a quiet well-managed place if not particularly pretty.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
For Buffista teachers, I'm sharing the dream I just woke up from before it fades. Then I'm going back to sleep. A teacher uses her mighty broadsword "ninnyhammer" to smite budget cutters, bureaucrats, plus over-entitled parents and students.
