[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.
Dear Volunteer -
I love you. You work well, you do almost anything I ask without problem and you do it well. However, if you keep working as fast and as well as you do, I am going to be the volunteer and you are going to have the job. That doesn't work for me.
Work slower, Very Cute Emo Boy with the purposely tousled hair.
Love,
The Empress
Oooh. Vortex is goooooood.
Very tempting to skip out of work:

Thanks for the hugs, y'all. In an odd twist of fate, Lewis forgot his cell phone today and as he's also working an inventory late tonight up in Fernandina (AKA the Back of Beyond) and wouldn't be likely to get home until two or three in the morning, I decided to put on outside pants and run his phone up to the store. It's a 35-45 minute hike, depending on traffic, so it wasn't any small jaunt, and he was annoyed-yet-pleased I'd done it.
Perversely, it helped me feel a lot better, like I was being useful and not just a lump. Of course, now I'm happy to be back in my inside pants.
Hec, that's TERRIBLE about that poor kid. Jesus.
The police arrested a man for crashing into and killing Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart:
The suspect has a prior DUI conviction and a suspended driver's license. What a fucking piece of garbage.
Shit, the young pitcher for the Angels, Nick Adenhart, who threw against the A's last night was killed in a hit and run accident after the game. Young kid, top prospect, his whole life in front of them. Mini-van ran a red light. So fucking stupid.
Damn, that's awful. It sounds like he had a promising career ahead of him.
Immediate email - "Hey, sorry we didn't get to finish our talk. You know, some people might choose to express their gratitude by buying me a cup of coffee ;) "Vortex, I totally need you here helping me like that. Why don't I think of those things. Just because the fishline breaks, there is still the net, right? But no, with the heart, I get all blushy and shy. Silly boy I am. I sent an e-mail. Of course, with load in happening, I won't have time for a date for a few weeks, but maybe we can schedule one between our crazy schedules!
Dear Volunteer - ...Empress, I will gladly trade your volunteer for my emo assistant. Although, he is far from cute. But he will work a LOT slower for you!
Just got a return e-mail. It started with:
Pfft made me laugh. A lot.(I said "sorry about cutting our conversation short. Silly boss calling me. Pfft.) See, and ya wonder why I'm smitten. She's goofy like me. Anyhow, she goes on to say that she is busy until June 3rd, so the fact she lists a date indicates not blowing me off. Also says, she hasn't seen her granddad since February. So, real busy. Looks like I'm going to try and schedule some time for June 3rd!
Mom finally went home, which is good because I shouldn't be allowed around people today. I tried to guilt her into going to that jewellery show with me, but no luck.
I hope that works out for you, omnis! She sounds smitworthy.
So I have a question: what is more important, a good work environment or advancing your career?
