I'm off to Los Angeles.
Wish me an easy commute, and my voice to return before I have to do my tour tomorrow.
Angel: Just admit it: you think you're gonna ride in, save the day, and sweep Buffy off her--Spike: Like you're not thinking the same thing. Angel: I'm already seeing somebody. Spike: What, dog girl?

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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Poor Charlie cat. Good -ma to you!
All my bras, except my sports bra, are underwires. I have owned some painful ones in the past, but no more. Life's too short for unnecessary boob pain.

There are Starbucks here in Seattle that sell wine and beer...but only in the afternoon/evening.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Yesterday a coworker told me I was very intimidating to her. She's the Lead (this company's equivalent to house manager) at that location. She started in January. I was boggled, and apologized and asked what it was I was doing that felt intimidating (because I have zero desire to intimidate anyone with the exception of people who want to hurt the people I work with so if I am coming across as arrogant or know-it-all, I want to correct myself). Her response was that I am quiet, have been here for so long, and have a really good relationship with the individuals at that house so that my mere presence cuts down on the more aggressive behaviors.
Um... what?

Starbucks with a liquor license is a fortune waiting to happen.
You do not lie.
Windsparrow,
is it possible she is misusing "intimidating" and means it as a positive?

Always Anti-fascist!
WS is the Gimp Whisperer-- pass it on. My mother used to get feedback like that in her SPED jobs, too. In her case, it was like, yeah, I could see that. But there was one guy she worked with the whole house HATED, because he would end up doing physical takedowns on even the chillest residents and my mom never had to.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm with le n, sounds like she meant it as a compliment.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Her response was that I am quiet, have been here for so long, and have a really good relationship with the individuals at that house so that my mere presence cuts down on the more aggressive behaviors.
Maybe she means that because she's new(ish), your skill is notable, and is -- "intimidated" is probably not the right word here -- impressed with your skill. Or maybe she means she's intimidated by the prospect of developing the kind of skill you have.
