Discussions like these are why I like owning a company, and not working for one.
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

[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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Seriously, who says to someone who is handicapped, "The best blessing in the world is to have a normal child"?
And I'll just bet that replying, "Well, better a handicapped child than a normal one who grows up to be an ass hole I suppose" is somehow rude, huh?

Since it was a relative, yes probably frowned on.

I have done onerous work related but yet will result in money for me tasks. Three expense sheets and one medical claim submittal. Should net some nice cash for holiday stuff. Of course, it is all reimbusing money I've already spent, but it feels like new money.

Hah. I think it would only be deserved. Family or not.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Man, Tim is a rock star. The poor guy had oral surgery this morning (gum grafts, eeek) and needs to take his pain meds. But no, he had to drive me to urgent care b/c my 3-day migraine suddenly got worse (vertigo when I previously had none, stabbing behind both eyes when it was previously just one eye). Apparently my blood pressure is really high, even for a Lang. I'm waiting for the doctor and undoubtedly a shot of Toradol in my bottom. And then my poor husband whose mouth hurts can go home and take pain meds.
Man, I am the worst wife ever. I should be making him mashed taters for his sore mouth, not keeping him from his narcotics and forcing him to drive me to urgent care. Bah.
