Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

[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'm fine. I just feel like a horrible employee, and I'm really letting the kids down. I had special things planned for today and everything.

I just emailed my boss since no one is answering the phone.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Okay, this is the last whine I'm going to post about this (unless my throat closes up or something; I think that deserves some whining): my upper eyelids are swollen. Not, like, hangover-type puffy; swollen.

I just took a Benadryl. Hopefully it'll de-swell my face. I'ma give it an hour or so, and if I'm still swollen, I'm calling my doctor's office back to beg for some direction as to what I should do to deal with this reaction.

(Don't say hospital.)

I don't think that's necessary, but definitely keep calling your doctor. And, if you don't hear back, is there an urgent care place nearby?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Thanks for all of the ~~ma this morning. So far, everything is going swimmingly. I stopped and bought bagels for the office and ran into my new boss who was also there to buy bagels, but I beat her to it. She said I'd be loved instantly for bringing in food. Wheee!!

I have a really good felling about this place. I told Joe this morning that I haven't felt this good on the first day of a new job in, like, ever.

I love you guys.

There's a hospital that's about a 3-minute drive away from my office.

But I'll probably de-puff.

Yeah, the Benedryl should really help.
