Sarah, just chat to her about regualr chatty stuff. Apologise for your boss's unforeseen delay, then just be friendly and nice and you'll set her at ease.

Horace, that "camel macchiato" comment would have had me spitting it over the keyboard if I'd been drinking one, which I intend to be in the next 10 minutes.

If I'm not on ILX by noon CST next Monday, avenge me.

Now the lake's disappeared.

It's all coming true! *hides*

So, I was just a sitting pretty, doing some work, with my pen in my mouth, like it usually is, so I won't forget where I put it, when I realized...THIS ISN'T MY PEN!

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 16:10 (twenty years ago) link

It's staring horace, put the pen down & just run, godamnit man!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 16:11 (twenty years ago) link

If Horace's pen started staring, I'd run, too. ;-)

― HRH Queen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 16:12 (twenty years ago) link

Staring/starting it's all the same!!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 16:14 (twenty years ago) link

I'll see you all next week. I just feel a major crankstorm coming on, and besides, I have a ton of work that I have to get done by THIS FRIDAY instead of next Friday. Grrrr.

― HRH Queen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 17:03 (twenty years ago) link

If I'm not on ILX by noon CST next Monday, avenge me.

How about noon PST? I have lots to do Monday morning.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 17:32 (twenty years ago) link

Also, now *I* need a caramel machiatto.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 17:32 (twenty years ago) link

It's a deal, Luna. I want you to take the killshot.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 17:42 (twenty years ago) link

Why on earth doesn't Starbuck's (or any of its competitors) deliver?

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 17:42 (twenty years ago) link

OMG I have this raging headache and I've felt all woobly and disoriented since the drive home from Calgary. This is completely annoying. I have a lot of work to do today but I really want to call in sick. Blehhhhh.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 17:44 (twenty years ago) link

Maybe you could use a courier? Many offices have accounts with bike messengers and stuff (one local mag I used to write for once sent a bike courier to my house to pick up a cover for a CD review, and this was the same mag that for some reason took between six months to a year to mail out free-L cheques).

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 17:46 (twenty years ago) link

For you, Horace, I'll do it.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 17:58 (twenty years ago) link

You have no idea how it warms my heart to know that out there in the world, there's a woman I've never actually met, who will kill my enemies after I'm dead. This is the most beautiful day of my life. Thank you, Luna. I kiss you.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 18:01 (twenty years ago) link

If anyone catches me on ILX between now and this Friday, then shout at me to make sure I've finished my recconciliations and my directorate breakdowns, OK? Thanks.

― HRH Queen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 18:02 (twenty years ago) link

I kiss you back.

You're welcome.

This Is the Thread Where We Arrange the Murders of Each Others' Enemies, Like Some Sorta Nu-Hitchcock Story

― Kingfish Beefstick (Kingfish), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 18:24 (twenty years ago) link

Old-Hitchcock was better.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 18:34 (twenty years ago) link

Uh, the fill-in boss of my dept. has just cranked up the country music television station.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 18:48 (twenty years ago) link

and he's singing along.
It's my fault though.
Not two minutes earlier he asked, "Hey, Huckleberry, what's that All-Shania, All-the-time channel?"

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 18:50 (twenty years ago) link

You must kill him.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 18:50 (twenty years ago) link

Can't...move...a muscle...synthized fiddle...affecting...motor skills...cyanide tablet...in heel...of...right shoe...

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 18:52 (twenty years ago) link

I hope they play that male-singer countrified version of "they paved paradise and put up a parking lot", that one's awesome.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 18:55 (twenty years ago) link

Clearly I'm going to have to start avenging sooner than I thought.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 18:57 (twenty years ago) link

but autotuned vox over steel guitars are just SO COUNTRY!

― Kingfish Beefstick (Kingfish), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 18:59 (twenty years ago) link

So has there been bloody death yet?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 19:15 (twenty years ago) link

I'm trying to finish up my little cookbook this afternoon -- oh, this isn't re: bloody death, except maybe the meatball recipe -- for various reasons, most of them seasonal. I'm like blocked on what to say in an intro-type thing, though. "Hi, I'm Bill. I make food. Here's how."

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 19:24 (twenty years ago) link

I'm trying to finish up my little cookbook this afternoon -- oh, this isn't re: bloody death

THEN WHERE IS THE FUN.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 19:25 (twenty years ago) link

I'll throw blood pudding in!

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 19:26 (twenty years ago) link

MMMMM

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 19:27 (twenty years ago) link

In somewhat more obsessive news, cause I know I mentioned my Ebay quests on this thread's forebears, I now have a collection of Haruki Murakami short stories -- uncollected anywhere else -- in Russian.

Yeah, I don't read Russian.

I took one day of Russian class, in 1990.

It's pretty.

See?

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 19:48 (twenty years ago) link

I'm not sure, but I think you might be a giant, Tep.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 19:50 (twenty years ago) link

The book does look fairly dollhouse-sized in my hand there, doesn't it? That must be because I'm TWELVE FEET TALL AND STEAM-POWERED.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 19:54 (twenty years ago) link

That's what drinking pineapple zombie blowjobs will do to you, I guess.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 19:56 (twenty years ago) link

Meaning if I drink one Tep gets taller and more steam-powered?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 19:58 (twenty years ago) link

zombies ARE generally associated with voodoo

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 19:59 (twenty years ago) link

The power of voodoo?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 19:59 (twenty years ago) link

Who do?

I AM NOT YOUR SIMON AND SIMON VOODOO DOLL, MR MANN

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 20:04 (twenty years ago) link

GODDAMMIT HORACE.

― Kingfish Beefstick (Kingfish), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 20:04 (twenty years ago) link

i googlesrc'd power of voodoo, and that came up. the url is something about fanfic. it's a big crazy world.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 20:04 (twenty years ago) link

Well now I want a voodoo doll.
