You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Boo for water in the garage, Lee. I hope it's something easy to fix.

I hope so! The handyman/plumber/electrician who did some work for me earlier is going to come look at it late this afternoon, so hopefully we can get it at least partially resolved today.

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

So I sent out an email saying "shall we reschedule, then?" for no good reason, and then tried to retract it and act all cool like I hadn't had a brain fart in the first place, but then I get an email back saying "Yes! Please reschedule! Something has come up!"

Am I psychic? I think that's the only possible explanation--I'm a psychic with low self-esteem.

So no one ever gets paid to go on dates? Come on! I want that part to be true, dammit. And just that it always turns out really badly, or completely anti-climactically. Either one is fine.

I think the only time someone gets paid to go on a date is when someone else's parents/aunt/grandmother are desperate to find their darling child someone to go to The Big Event with. Or I may just be remembering that from various novels.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

So no one ever gets paid to go on dates?

The only way I see that happening is if I were to form a deeply inappropriate attitude towards one or more of my work colleagues.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Finally got the turn signal replaced. Turns out that, while you can buy a replacement assembly at the auto parts store, you need a mechanic to actually do the replacement. So the car was at the dealer today, but it's done now.

BTW, billy, it was Hubby's idea that I make use of my "international contacts" to try and find that figure for him. I felt very global and 21st Century.

Phew. Now that I am home, as not a plumber, I suspect it's going to be a very easy fix in the garage, and the house appears to have all the water it needs, so I am not sure what the cleaning lady was talking about.

Why was I just talking about dicks at work again???

This happens remarkably often if you're me. Today it was BDSM.

The other day a guy at work used the term "ass like the fourth of July" and I fluttered my eyelashes at him most strongly. Heaven forfend!

I don't work in a den of iniquity like shrift, let's be clear.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This happens remarkably often if you're me. Today it was BDSM.

But that's work-related! I mean, it is, right? I just accidentally got into it after mentioning that I like to order the smallest size burrito at my local place. Which is totally cock-sized.
