I'm with Hec. There are no words for my response. But I think "domestic disturbance" would have been the LEAST of it.
Willow: It feels like we're going around in circles. Xander: Our circles are going around in circles. We got dizzy circles here.

[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.

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.
I did not give my nephews a frickin' pogo stick without clearing it with my sister first.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hec is right. You are right. They are totally completely wrong. Bf is just trying to make you be the bad guy.

A rifle for your kid's birthday? WTFF? Not a parent, but it all seem SO WRONG.
sj (and TCG), I'm sorry. This is hard beyond words. I can only wish families and related-by-blood folks could have 10% of the smartness and kindness of the not-blood-related people I surrounded myself with.
Am I a heretic for not really caring about the birth of the Royal Baby Boy? Granted, I also can't understand why everyone fusses over celebrity babies period.
Nope. Thrilled when it comes to friends' babies (watched 3 youtubes of a friend's baby yesterday, and was fascinated to every second of it). But this? Again, nope.
Steph, how are you doing?

Sorry, Suzi. Sleep~ma to you.
A client just called me on a day I'm not working on, apologized for calling me when I'm not working, and asked for something to be done ASAP. Something that she could have sent an email in order for me to do on Sunday, Monday, and the week before that, not an emergency at all, and my boss could have done it if I'm away.
The only mystery is how the hell she got my private number. Must refresh around the office my policy that clients do not get my private number nor email address. I don't work full time and we don't provide 24/7 support to justify such calls.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Wtf? No, you don't give someone's kid--no matter how mature, unless the maturity means he's no longer legally a kid--a rifle. Sounds like the bf is trying to forment discord.
And thanks, y'all. I genuinely thought I was either going crazy or having psychic flashes about my approaching doom. I'm glad I could resolve it by flinging the soap off my front porch. And I did end up putting one of my favorite perfumes on a cotten ball and putting that next to the HVAC intake. Now my apartment smells like BPAL's Tintagle.
ETA, what the heck, Shir? Boundaries! Your client needs to discover them and your coworkers need to protect them better.

When I wrote back to her I asked her to email me in advance in the future. My co-worker and boss know not to give my number, so I suspect it might be the secratary. Long story short, someone did something wrong with my phone at work and now all of my calls get to her first. I might have to fix it myself, because the person responsible to getting it fixed is a "let you do my job for me" type of person. However, it's been going on for weeks now, and I'm tired of it, so I guess I'll sollow that frog (I would have done it sooner, but he approched me with this on literally the busiest day I have every year - a day before our annual conference. I'm 40% of the organization commitee and my to-do-list does not need any more tasks).
