Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

[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.

Guess who's on a 30 day performance improvement management plan? Guess who doesn't trust her manager AT ALL? Guess who's going to be updating her resume tonight, because better safe than sorry?

Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck. At least the manager gave me the rest of the day off "to process and review the plan".

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

What. The. HELL, Jilli???? That's crazy!

YEAH. WTF, Jilli?!?!

My technical writing isn't at the level my boss wants. I'm not doing enough work, and the team is carrying me, even tho' in June the plan was to load-balance my work better because it was determined that having me juggle SIX projects was maybe a bad call. But there's also not enough UX writing work to justify me spending more time with that team.

Like I said, I don't trust my manager. For a lot of reasons, which I'm not going to elaborate on in a semi-public space.

However, I will say that I have now learned for sure that I would rather be an editor than a technical/programmer writer.

Still waiting on the CU. It's going up the chain and so far it looks hopeful.

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.

Jilli, I am sorry that you have a manager you do not trust. That just makes every bad thing even worse.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Lots of ~ma, Steph!!

Jilli, WTF. Updating the resume sounds prudent.

Reviewing health insurance. Kill me now.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ugh, Jilli.

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

Ugh. That reminds me, I still need to go over the new health insurance requirements here.

Oh, this GISHWHES thing sounded like something that Buffistas might have fun with: One of the items is to create the cover of a romance novel, showing Misha Collins and the Queen of England in a torrid embrace. We've got the graphic, and it's beautifully disturbing, but we need a title. Any suggestions? I suppose it needs an author name as well, and whatever other text might be on a book cover.
