'Safe'
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I am so tired. I forgot how tiring it can be especially at first. I got thrown on the sales floor to shadow someone and everyone was impressed how fast I picked up the register.
The store is...kinda sitting at the bottom of sales for the region but we are a small area. But one of the other shoe sales people was like "I don't bother vaccumming often. " I could tell. There is understaffed I guess but even 10 mins a night or picking up large things would make a difference.

Yes, that would be a worthy 10 minutes. I hate walking into stores where it is clear that cleanliness is viewed as optional.
I got my discussion question done! Now a bit of chainmaille and then sleep.
chainmaille
I've wondered about the spelling for a while. Why not "chainmail"? I know nothing about the craft, so maybe it's a really obvious answer, but I have no idea.
Why not "chainmail"?
I've seen it in various sources as chainmail far longer than I've seen chainmaille. I haven't seen any historical justification for "maille", but that may just be something I missed, so I'm not sure if my annoyance with the spelling is justified or just Old Fuddy-Duddy Medieval Recreationist Snobbery (get off my battlefield, she grumbled, shaking her longbow)
I've never seen "-maille". I wasn't sure what it meant!
I've seen it both ways. The vendor I purchase rings from uses "maille" so that is what ends up coming out when I type it.
If it's fancy, it should be called chainmaille.
Am I weird? I won't be offended, I really want to know.
I've seen "chainmaille" a lot, but I was always too intimidated to ask, because I thought there was an obvious reason that I was missing.
If it helps the conversation, the pieces I'm working on aren't classic chainmail related. They are pretties.
There is what I was told a Japanese style of chain mail that is larger links joined at right angles with small lengths of fine chain. It's very pretty. Hubby taught me how to make it. I should see if the arthritis in my hands will let me take it up again. He loved making chain mail.
