Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Like gonads for girls.

Also called gonads.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Did you put dots in it? The commander likes the dots. (/Obligatory report-writing Wire reference)

Forgot the fucking dots.

We have this one person who is a total, ridiculous drama llama and the biggest gossip and so unprofessional. I'm just tired of her shit. And yet, twice today I told her and her staff about a potential safety hazard/expense and she hasn't done shit about it.

If you are truly going to foster a safe environment, people have to FEEL SAFE in reporting issues, and not that they're going to get their heads ripped off by a drama llama or be in danger of losing their job or putting the whole program at risk.

UGGGGH.

God. I'm having an anxiety attack with all this BS.

Always Anti-fascist!

Dag, girl, you're gonna end up on the boat, at this rate. Or Evidence Control. In all seriousness, that does sound tough...

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Perhaps, when someone goes all drama llama on you, you should threaten to go all pre-Columbian on their ass.

smonster, I'm so sorry.

Gurl, you know I feel you on this. I literally said at the last ORS meeting that they needed to stop treating their employees like children and making them feel unsafe, and stop making them fear for their jobs every time they mess up, because then they lie to me. Which will never happen.

ION, after twelve years, I have a car!

Very true about making people feel safe to point out problems, smonster.

amyth, congrats on the car! Is it in our lot? May I see it?

I'm celebrating by...staying late at work. Which is weird, but I almost never can, because of the bus schedules, unless I get a ride from someone else. I CAN WORK WHENEVER I WANT! I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT!

This is just starting to sink in.

I'll definitely show you when I get home.

Well, it's not that exciting. I'm starting small. It's a 2005 Ford Focus. But it was recommended to me by a mechanic friend, and it's in good condition, and it cost me practically nothing. It's good for what I need right now.

But CAR is exciting!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Our company pushes safety big time, from field work to office work. We are supposed to report near misses in addition to actual reportables. They figure near misses are learning opportunities that will help prevent an actual reportable.

Congrats on the car, amyth! What kind?
