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?
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

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.

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!

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?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
It IS exciting! Whatever kind it is! I'm so happy for you, babe -- I know how long you've wanted this.
