Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Ow. I'm hurting, a lot, and I really wish that I could stay home tomorrow, but I can't, because I have work to do that requires my tablet, which I left at the office. And trying to work through pain fog is not going to be fun.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

smonster, I understand that women consistently undervalue their work. Is this a quote you'd consider high if you'd received it from another contractor? You have years of experience and skills that you're bringing to work that will have a very tangible outcome. Plus, if you put things a little high and the other party counter offers that still gives you room to negotiate without feeling like you're getting ripped off. Don't undersell yourself--you'll have plenty of a**holes trying to do that for you.

What Calli said.

Virtual hugs to everyone.

Busy day.

I had my 3 month Lasik follow-up today. While my vision is SO MUCH better than it was presurgery, it still isn't without issue. So we are doing a 6 month follow-up as a "pre-enhancement" appointment. Basically, if my vision hasn't improved in that time, they will schedule a "tune up" Lasik procedure. More lasers. Wheee. At least that is free.

Is it stupid for me to drive 20 hours round-trip to pick up this desk? It's EXACTLY what I want, and it's only $50. link

That's a pretty long drive. What would the gas and maybe truck rental add to it?

(Weirdly, I just drove past there yesterday. But I wouldn't have had a way to transport anyway.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

How much would it cost to pay someone to do it?

I knew there was a Buffista in the area! Okay, tell you what: I'll rent a van, you go pick it up, I'll fly up there, I'll buy you dinner and a puppy (or whatever), I'll sleep on your couch, and I'll drive the van home with my new desk. What do you say?

Twenty hours? Yes that's nuts. Ten hours of you ALSO had some good reason to be in that city like visiting a friend and could add a day? Maybe. But 20 is a lot.

But I could fly there and rent a van and it would be a ten hour drive, which is totally doable.
