My officemate has been back after 2 weeks off and OMFG I've learned so much in the last 1.5 hours!
I don't need marshmallows for the next 5 days, I need a fucking pig.

There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Teppy, you can come downtown and have lunch with me any time! And gossip about all your crazy authors.
IO "work and romance" N, I had a dream that is super-funny if you know me. In the dream, I had a hookup with a total stranger I met at some business conference, and somehow in scooping up my possessions from his hotel room, accidentally got his hotel/car key (it kept changing) in my suitcase. Then I immediately went on a family vacation with my kids, husband, and mother. Two days later I found an increasingly irate series of texts/emails from him in an email filter titled "lego" (???) about the fact that I had callously walked off with his key and then not responded to his texts (I didn't have a smartphone in the dream and had been off the computer, due to family vacation.) So I was trying to find the keys and figure out how to get them back to him ASAP without my family finding out about my one-night stand.
(As I hope you all have gathered, having known me since 2000, I have not kissed anyone besides my husband since 1996, and am possibly the last person on earth likely to have a random hookup with some business suited dude at a conference, who was totally not even my type.)

Screenplay, flea.
sarameg, I can't decide if I want an explanation about the marshmallows and pig. Maybe it should remain a mystery.

Oh good lord, speakerphone conference call in a cubicle? I know one of you has an office. Come on.

Would it help if I said I might need a fiddle?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Not even a little bit. Are you in the middle of a Kafka novel?

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)
So, uh, hi!
I used to post here, not much, but some, and a couple years ago at that. I used to live in China and then I went to work on a cruise ship, and those are pretty much my claims to fame. I don't expect anyone to remember me, though!
I still work on cruise ships, but I'm home for a couple months, and have been getting back into my old internet haunts as much as possible. Something made me think of this site the other day, and I thought I'd pop in and say hello!

Things are going down (up? sideways?) in flames.
I just printed out a new pallas's cat image for my wall.

I will be taking my project leader certification exam at 1pm Central time. Good wishes and ~ma are very much appreciated.
Also, hi, zuisa!
