3 lines later, "be prepared for full penetration." This is the dirtiest set of notes about welding something!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Wow, welding is more racy than I thought!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yay for new houses!

Mr. S was a complete terror for the nanny. He went into his room, slammed the door shut, then trashed the room. After that he managed to open his window, push out the screen and throw things out of it. I don't know what to do with him when he's like this...

Oh, my god, the person who's currently working at potential fancy new job was apparently an X-Files BNF.

Huh. How did you learn this?

Our wings are not tired.

Oh Sheryl, You must just be exhausted. I'm sorry he is such a handful. The best I got is, this too shall pass.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Sheryl I am so sorry. A few of the books I read that might be of some help:

Beyond Consequences: Logic and Control by Forbes
The Explosive Child by Greene
The Defiant Child by Riley

I am not sure on that last one, but I the other two I had (may still have I can look if you are interested)

Houses! Yay houses!

Today is the second day of my new job. (Yesterday's first day was in AZ, for new hire orientation.) but it's going well! My co-workers are cool, and I'm in nerd central.

Also, because of my new company, I had to get my retinas scanned so I can enter/exit the office. And I get a 30% discount on consumer-grade tasers. A DISCOUNT. ON TASERS. FOR MEEEEE.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Thank goodness you didn't get a job at a blowtorch company.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Huh. How did you learn this?

She used her real name. I need to ping some of the longtime XF people I know and make sure she doesn't have a reputation of some kind.

Taaaaaasserrrrrr. walks around making "bzzt!" noises under my breath

We also can sign up to get shot with a taser, but it's not mandatory, so that's a relief.
