Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

[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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I don't know, omnis, that heavy heart line sounds a little like you would have hired her but were forced to go with another applicant against your own judgement. Which, if that's what you actually mean, is of course fine, but that's not the impression I was getting from your other posts.

OTOH, I'm trying to think of a way to say "I wish we could have hired you, too" that doesn't sound like that and not doing very well, so maybe that's okay.

Yeah, the heavy heart kinda makes it sound like "*I* wanted to hire you but the OTHER meanie weanies made me hire someone else!!!"

t edit: xpost with -t!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Ryan is currently rocking out to the dangly toys over his playmat. Occasional squeals of delight. You can see him just getting the inklings that with a bit of practice, he might be able to grab them. It doesn't get any better than this.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Well, there was some of that at one point, but then the #2 option got a *LOT* stronger as I called her references. And then it worked out that the team I hired have all worked together before, and enjoy being a team together, so that was super duper bonus. But ya, she was my top applicant for awhile.

That's understanable, omnis. I'm thankful every single day that I make a livable wage doing this (most of the time).

But it doesn't read right. It's a little over the top.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It doesn't get any better than this.

For him or you?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I dunno. I don't have to change the diapers on Mario Kart.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I dunno billytea, I think you're gonna adore pretty much every phase with that kid.

Right now - no distinction.

Yeah, I think so too.

We changed his nappy when he woke up. There's this cloth picture book, one side is all black, white and red (nice bold lines, easy for a young bub to follow), while the other side has animals in primary and secondary colours with crinkly accessories. I set it up with the BWR side facing him while we dealt with the other half. He was such a delight, fascinated by the pictures. (One of them has a small mirror too.)

Right now, the nappy change thing is, quite seriously, another bonus.
