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.

Anne, I think your cow-irker and Consuela's should be consigned to having to work together.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Uggh, Anne, that sucks so much. I get so irritated by people who act like that, it's like they got stalled out in their development and are now acting like my neighbor's 6-year-old (who has learned to lie if he thinks it will get him out of trouble). Let's all be grownups and own our own mistakes, shall we? At least if she already has a rep, it shouldn't be too tough to re-aim the bus, right? In the meanwhile, do you have anyone you can vent to? I sometimes go to my boss' office and close the door and just tell her outright that I don't expect her to "fix it" but that I need to vent for a minute. I usually feel better, plus then my boss is apprised of the sitch if the blame-shifters keep trying to aim my way.
Anyway, I hope you get ice cream or chips or a good TV show or some knitting or whatever will help you have a bit of peace for the evening. And that tomorrow things will be better.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

This morning, his mummy asked him if he had a stinky nappy, and he attempted to shift the blame to the animals on his Baby Einstein DVD.
Sorry about the work unpleasantness, Anne.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Oh, Ryan, even your devious is heavy-laden with cute.
So, we didn't win. Sadface. But we totally should have!! We really truly had the best pitch, and slides, and I tossed out a few glass bead necklaces at the end! I didn't even want to win until tonight, and now I really wish we had. But the president of a local recycling company came up to me and gave me his card, and we're going to set up a meeting with him. I don't know how the hell we'll have time to make this happen, but we're going to try! (The winning idea involved people trading unwanted beads for bathroom tokens along the parade route, and I gave her my contact info and told her I'd help her since I have green event experience.)

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Thank you all very much. The whole thing is just kind of sad--the project was a huge success, but she's trying to make sure she's not being blamed for the few little, fixable things that did go wrong.
