You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

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 look more rad than Lutheranism

It's way too cold outside.

Agreed. This weather is bullshit.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

There should not be snow before my birthday, and my birthday isn't until tomorrow.

And the wind chill this far south just shouldn't be in the single digits at all.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Ugh. Up already in that too-early-to-wake/too-late-to-fall-back-asleep dead zone. The stress of accounting and auditing the invite list and basically goddamn everything about the holiday party at work is going to fucking kill me. What a colossally, fantastically stupid way to die.

What is even happening?

Just got in from taking the dog out to pee.

It's colder than a witch's tit in a brass bra.

JZ, we will not suffer your sacrifice for a party.

I'm going to talk with my manager and my counterpart about it. She's underutilized for sure (tbh, she's mostly forgotten, for a variety of reasons too complicated to type on a phone) and something needs to change about this whole miserable dynamic.

This was going to be my year to just sit it out and be a guest, dammit.

Our wings are not tired.

Happy belated birthday, Jessica!

Happy birthday, Hil!

Loving the cool weather here.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Happy birthday, Hil!

It's so cold here in NY that both of my children willingly wore their actual winter coats AND scarves AND gloves.

Happy birthday Jessica and Hil.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Very cold here as well. Arguing with my never cold girl to wear not only a coat but a hat and gloves is exhausting first thing in the morning.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Happy Birthdays, Hil and Jessica!
