Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

[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.

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.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I might need someone to remind me again why shouldn't I kill some of the folks that are working on a certain project with me, and that only bother to half-read emails, push agendas that aren't a part of that project on 50% of meetings while missing/ignoring the other 50%, and making that project a hell of a mess for me to coordinate. I swear I spend 30% of the time just saying over and over again what I've already said five times.

And when they are constructive... well, let's just say that the following conversation actually happened on our last meeting on Monday:

Other person: "It's a good model, but I'm concerned about the time frame. I think 6 hours is way too much".
Me: "I agree. However, mind that it's a modular scheme".
Other person: "But six hours is really too much".
Me: "Yes. That's why I said it's modular."
Other person: "Maybe we should plan a similar model that goes for two hours, maybe three."
Me, trying to avoid giving him a death stare: "Modular?"

I also need to add that I asked people at least three times before that conversation happened to not think about time frames at this stage, as we were only trying to agree on a abstract model of activity, and we can determine the time frames independently later.

Hiding the bodies will hurt your back. I've HEARD...

It's a pain finding enough vacant buildings to put the bodies in.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

We don't kill because it's hard to get away with it. Some people say it is wrong but mostly I think about the inevitable legal defense.

I always worry when Hubby and I and friends sit around in diners plotting how to kill people and get away with it. I mean, me and mine have always had conversations like that, and I thought everyone plotted hypothetical felonies as entertainment. Until I spotted worried looks cast our way. I wonder if we're on any lists. On the other hand, the town police are convince Hubby is a retired police officer (he sort of is, he was a cop way back when) with a concealed carry permit who's more restrained about carrying. So hopefully we'll get the benefit of the doubt.
