Cordelia ,'Beneath You'
[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.
Oh!
It's not a law. It's a(n illegal, for now) requirement from some business institutions - not only restaurants. And a very rare one, like spitting on girls in Bet Shemesh.
And yet - it's the fucking Middle East. It's hot in here, and yet they're afraid of skin. What the hell.
In a depressing way, yes.
Depressing fun is the only way intellectuals seem to know to have fun. Well, that, and scholarly use of LOLcats.
Shir, I'm sorry for the frustration. Family can be rough. To answer your grammar question, the preposition you are looking for there is "angry at myself."
I was at the airport at 530am. Again. Have to do it again on Monday. It's times like this I am not so fond of my job.
Thank you, Pix.
I was at the airport at 530am.
Early wakeups - bah! At least I only had to get up at 5:30.
Shir, that's interesting. I was sure it was a legal thing that was going to be applied to all restaurants. Is it possible that that was being proposed? Glad to hear it's not legal, anyway!
Is it possible that that was being proposed?
That's a possibility, yes. However, while religion here isn't separated from state, we're still far from things like this law to become a reality (honestly, I will leave Israel before craziness like that will occur. Enough is enough).
I'm at work, but I'll elaborate later. There's sort of a wacky Israeli explanation for this (well, at least IMHO).
Yeah last time it was. But this time - two pages maybe three. Don't expect it to be 20 minutes. But with only three pages (at most) affected expect it to be less than a day.
Is your manuscript the only thing they're working on? Maybe they have other stuff and can't immediately jump to work on your project.
All I can say is, that my deadline for the index was based on the Galleys being delivered with minor errors. So at this point they better not expect an index by the 15th!
Also, yeah I do expect fixing screwups to be a priority. The thing is I specified that I'd composed this so that tables had to be placed exactly between the paragraphs I said within the text. If they had told me "we can't do that" I would have rethought it and done some major edits on the text and tables.
I think what is stressing me out is that their replies ignore the part where I say, "you understand that the index won't be delivered under original deadline". If they would just reply and say "yeah we understand that since our deliverable was late, yours will be too", I'd just relax and figure we are all human. But right now I'm worrried that only they are human and that they expect their error to be my problem that I'm magically supposed to deliver an index in four days.
