I just got back from lunch with my department. Topics of conversation included boob rubbing, groin shaving, manscaping, nipple cream, and butt cracks. I really can't imagine working anywhere else.
Now we're saving a vampire from vampires. I got two words for that -- Nuh and uh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
People are still there 15 minutes late?
I don't leave for the meeting until I see him go. I sit next to him, so I don't have to waste any time. The other two guys showed up a couple minutes later. They've been burnt by him enough times before that I don't think they care overmuch.
you could start the meeting without him
I am tempted to do that, if he's not around for me to see when he leaves for the meeting. I ended up doing most of the talking anyway.
I'm not sure how he got by as project lead before this. Timeliness might not be next to godliness but it helps with professionalism.
I have to say, I'm against touching in the office. I come over all pearl-clutchy again, but I just don't like it. So of course, a coworker kicked my boots and put his hand on my shoulder today. He was being nice, and he's hot, and may very well be gay so it's not like I feel victimised or grossed out. It's just a principle thing. Could be my husband. I still don't want to touch him at work.
Except, again, at krav, where I had my hands all over everyone. Context. Though, not everyone. I never touched the guy I got together with. Not on the premises, unless it was a class exercise.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm with you. On my last day, I had to do a lot of hugging, and for most people it was the first time I'd touched them since shaking their hands on first meeting.

Oh, hey! I'm sure I posted here when I was upset that Trader Joe's stopped carrying this horseradish cheddar pub cheese? Come to find out, Rondele makes a version, and they have it at my supermarket!

Man, I hate when they stop carrying shit. They used to carry these milk chocolate-covered peanuts that tasted just like Snickers without the caramel and nougat. So good. I still haven't eaten the very last one.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's part of TJ's charm: sometimes they have stuff, sometimes they don't. Builds suspense.

This is weird. A university just posted a job ad which says that they will start reviewing applications November 15.

I'm also sad about the loss of salt-and-pepper peanuts.
