Anya ,'Get It Done'
[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.
Barb, I don't remember you telling us that your father died. (Not that you are/were obligated to, but I feel like a heel for not remembering it.)
So she wants Maria to take her to the casino so she can, get this, scatter some of his ashes on their favorite machine.
...Wow. Just, wow.

I hadn't said anything about it because, as I told Vortex and Maria on Friday, I did my grieving for him a long, long time ago. So please, don't feel bad. I only said anything now because, you know, context.
And yes, Wow.
Oh my lord, Barb. Just whoa.
There were a few callers today I just wish I could have hung up. One guy I almost did because he was on the verge of using profanity. He couldn't seem to understand that we couldn't do what he wanted because we had no authority. I gave him the number of someone who could help. He didn't want to hear it because he'd been given our number and the person said we could solve his problem so we had better.
Finally he took the number only to call back and angrily state I'd given him a non working number. He read it back transposing two numbers -- 555-525-0000 instead of 555-552-0000. It took me three times to get him to hear what I was saying and then he hung up.
Then there was the lady who called and had to spell a name because she couldn't pronounce either the first or last name. She then spelled out Hutchinson. I said the name Hutchinson and the best she could say back to me was Hutches.
Remember a few weeks ago, when I was freaking out about writing a fiction piece? It was accepted by Steampunk Tales! Wheeee!
Congratulations! I hope you'll give us a heads up when it's available.
Congrats Jilli, that's awesome!
Barb, that is QUITE a story, you really do need to write it.
PS: remember there are cameras everywhere!
PPS: I think I am joining you in that Special Hell.
really good salad for dinner - romaine, fresh corn, black beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado and lemon roasted shrimp with balsamic vinaigrette. mmmmmm. I'm stuffed.
Barb, that is QUITE a story, you really do need to write it.
But wait until after they get arrested by casino security. You don't want to miss the punchline.
Wow, Jilli, go you!
Wow, Barb. That's a totally different wow from Jilli's. I shall cheerfully sit next to you in the Special Hell.
I am exhausted. I met with my advisor today. He'd said that he'd be getting to the office sometime between 1 and 3, and that I didn't need to stay in my office for that whole time waiting for him -- if there was something else I needed to do, I should just go do it and find him when I came back. I got an email from him at 3:15 saying that he was just leaving Bethesda. He didn't arrive until around 4:30, and our meeting lasted three hours.
I really need to do laundry. However, I also really want to get some sleep.
