I'm sorry Nora.
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Can you have Tom do that for you?
I'm with sj. This sounds like a spousal duty if there ever was one.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh, Nora. You WILL get there, but I am so sorry that the road has kicked up a major pain-in-the-ass block.

The status is NOT quo.
Can you have Tom do that for you?
I agree with sj. I'm so sorry, Nora. That's just devastating. And of course it matters. Hugs and love and support are yours for the asking. And even if you don't ask.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, Nora, I'm so sorry. And, yes, have Tom do it. That's what he's there for (among his many, many other goodnesses). It's a shitty little task that you shouldn't have to face, a burden he can relieve you of.
You will graduate, it's just a slightly different path. Seriously, one of the graduate students working for us seems to fail comps every year, and they've all gone on to pass and get jobs and learn the secret librarian handshake.
Sparky is wise (as per usual) and the voice of experience. But, God, how it sucks right now. I'm hugging you to bits long distance right this second.

Oh, Nora. Let me know if there's anything I can do. I'm confident it's just a temporary setback, but I know it's a kick in the gut now.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Nora, that's so rough for you. Please be gentle with yourself.
And yay Erin, and keepthejob~ma to Jilli and Plei.
What she said.
