Hmmm, you must have told me at some point. either that, or that half-naked sweaty hug I got the other night must have connected our psyches somehow...

I really dont want to work a shift on sunday and I also dont want to work a whole shift on monday either.

My weekend has been reduced by half this week and that rots. And some how I gotta pull some artistic talent outta somewhere to draw with hot fudge a skull and cross bones on a cake today (i work at an ice cream shop just fyi)

Or you can deadpan ask him how this fulfills your duty to your Lord Satan? Mention how you go to Burning Man and point him to the wackjob 'anti-BM' websites. Show him a picture of the man burning, before, during, and after, and then show him your tattoo. He'll go away.

well, if this person were my boss, i could have used him to further Villainous Schemes. But it doesn't look like it's gonna work.
Dang, can we get a narrative from CWL about this? I wanna know what it's like to achieve freakiness instead of being born freaky.

(and of course your right, the other guy would have wanted to have freakiness thrust upon him, as it were.)

Well, you could threaten to have the reception area smell like the third world if you don't have that option. . .

Um, yes, I got that. What I was trying to imply was how sorry he would be if it actually had come to fruition. A sort of "whew" on his behalf that there are things he will never know and have to process. I meant no casting of aspersions of any apocolyptic women.

sorry, your useage of 'thrusting' required some sort of snarky response.

now I'm confused, not a hard thing for me,,,

3/4 WOTA???


oh, what I thought was silly, really. I was associating TMI with a jaw disease, ie, lots of jawing going on here, or there.


grrrrrrr, I am getting annoyed. have to run to the fabric shop for more backdrop material. one of those mornings.

okay, it's teeny, but it gets me:

when I'm at work, I sit behind a desk, in a spinny chair with rolling-wheels. I can't sit in the typical 'sitting' way for very long, so I have a tendency to tuck my feet up under my ass and, in effect, 'kneel' on the chair.

If one more customer comes in and comments that either a)they could never sit like that at work because it's uncomfortable or, worse, b)they THOUGHT I HAD NO LEGS (!) I swear, I'm going to go postal.

Slow enough for me to want to whip this book at your head
Have a nice day.
