Play to win, Ginger!
Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Here, LJ, wherever, got your back and always want to listen. I'd give a lot not to be on the other coast right now, but things are as they are.
Please, continue to mention ways we can make things easier, softer, more bearable for you, and ways you need us to kick your ass while you're kicking cancer's ass. Don't you dare disappear, either. Single word posts are still posts, and we need to hear from you.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Not going to ping me, Ginger. I want to know how you are, despite my personal experience with cancer. Whatever you need from us, you got it.

Is there any dust containment happening around the work area?
None whatsoever. The workers have no dust masks, the execs who have wandered through to see what's going on seem blase. And with the blowers running, the whole building is contaminated, if contamination is there. In all honesty, I think we're only looking at mold potential, not actual growth, but still, airborne plaster dust and insulation is bad enough.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
As another, well not cancer survivor - it was not a really serious cancer - but as someone who had cancer I say: say what you want. Kick fucking cancer's ass!

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
cancer kicking ~ma all round, including prophylactically where needed.
Meara: if someone invites me into their residence after a date on ANY pretext I interpret that to mean shenanigans would be well recieved. That apparently differs with other ppl, but that's what I would assume and I think is a reasonable assumption that the inviter is interested in activities that they don't want to engage in at a public place. Otherwise they'd be wanting to schedule another date, IME.
My first work night on this later shift just keeps getting wierder. First a lady reporting ppl outside menacing her goats (what is it with GOATS in this city???), then a caller named Chantilly Lace (for serious, her parents named here that) then a couple guys in front of a place called the Hotel California (I didn't know that existed in Portland) mooning passing cars. That caller said, and I quote "I think they might be drunk." I couldn't stop myself from laughing. on a recorded line. "yes, i think you might be right."

I hope you're playing "Ginger kicks the odds in the ASS."
Cosigned.
Connie, as everyone said, these are not minor issues.

Connie, I'm not an OHSA expert, but I have to wonder if your office is working within their guidelines. Here's information on filing a complaint, if you think it's appropriate. [link]

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Ginger, totally echoing what everyone else has said. Kick cancer righteously in the ass.
Connie, that's bullshit. I'd be tempted to bring in a doctor's note, and attach it to a letter to HR, flatly stating "Please don't ever imply I am lying about a health issue when the workplace defies OSHA standards again."
Ugh.
