You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Cream cheese and roast beef, especially if it's nice and juicy, sounds delicious.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Y'all are trying to make me hungry and I am watching the beginning of last night's Fringe. These are not things that go well together. I cannot understand why I watch this show.

Text him about the roast beef and cream cheese -- see if he thinks it sounds tasty or gross.

I used to eat that when I worked at the bagel shop. God, nummy. Also a fav was veggie cream cheese (carrots and stuff and herbs) and provolone on a spinach bagel. Spinach with roast beast and cream cheese too. Or proscuitto and cream cheese on a garlic spinach (it was an accident, but the baker knew I loved 'em so always had a couple accidents every day I worked) was awesome...

I am now eating a plain bagel, toasted, with cream cheese. No bacon salt, though. Or roast beef.

You know why I'm not on Twitter? (It just occurred to me.)

I post all my minutiae here.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Sophia, I think you might want to make a short written rebuttal and couple that with your action plan (which will acknowledge the issues they brought up).

From an HR perspective they've started the first step to firing you. They may not, but you need to firm up your position. Show them that you are not defensive but would like to correct some impressions based on phrasing.

You also need to talk to your director and the people who assign work at the theater. Because they're overworking you and it's affecting your dayjob.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Oh, David just said what I just deleted because I was skeered to freak you out. But I think he's right.

I got a verbal warning and fired the next day, and I am sitting here with no insurance and no unemployment, because I can't back up "without cause."

It sucks ass. Your employers ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS. They might be friendly, but they're not.
