Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

[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.

I very selfishly hope that this does not hinder my academic career in any way--though, my thesis adviser now knows about the situation and supports my actions.

Speaking as someone in an academic career, I doubt it. When you get to the point of interviews, and if this is going to be an issue somehow, we'll be here to help you spin it. Signed, Got a bigger, better job after my boss had demoted and exiled me because I learned to spin it -- just ask Perkins who suffered through those emails.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

The day will bring great things, but an open letter so as to purge negative energy:

Dear Boss:

If I could find $25,000 in 5 hours, you'd be paying me a lot more. IJS.

Love and other indoor sports,
Aimee

Our wings are not tired.

I just hope I'm doing the right thing.

I believe you are. And yes, if you get a chance I'd love to try the shampoo. Don't put it at the top of your list though, your list is long enough.

I'll ask one of my co-workers to snap a pic while it is still bright. A programmer here said, "not many people can pull off that color, but it looks great on you." That's as many words as he normally speaks in a week!

Emily, how are you feeling?

Pretty good, really. Nagging cough still hanging on -- it's kind of wrecked my sleep the last two nights, and for some reason I think one of my ovaries hurts every time I cough, but otherwise I'm feeling much, much better.

If only I could figure out what to do with this one class...

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

If I could find $25,000 in 5 hours, you'd be paying me a lot more. IJS.

If you could find $25K in 5 hours, I'd encourage you to work one 40 hour week and then you and me can travel the world.

Right?

I wish I could say, "Boss. You run low-income, student housing. Where on earth do you think I'm going to get this money?"

Ugh. So tired. I think I got 5 hours of sleep, which is an improvement from the previous night, but still. The Insomnia Fairy needs to go away.

Ugh, hate insomnia. I hope tonight is better.

Also, this will wake people up! [link]

Beautiful, Laura! From that back picture you can really see the depth of the color.
