Autumn

If there was any doubt that fall had arrived, it was erased when I looked at my car this morning...



In other news, my attendance on LJ will be light for the next two days while I attend a "Personal Insight" workshop here at work. Pray for me.

*best Anglican High Church Accent*
O Gaw-D, in whom we live
And breathe and thrive.
Look down upon your faithful servant,
And do not crush him.
Do not smite him,
O Lor-D,
Nor bury him in iniquity,
Even though he has been naughty in your sight.
Very naughty.
Very, very naughty.
Bad to the bone, even.
Uphold him in this "Personal Insight"
And do not let him choke the living shit out of the facilitators.
Even though he wants to.
This we pray, through Christ, our Lor-D.
Amen
*/Best High Church Anglican accent*

who says all those years in divinity school were wasted?

Oh, thank goodness! I was afraid I might offend someone.
Now if I could just memorise that mawidge, that vewy special estate... from Princess Bride.

well you certainly didn't offend ME, and I'm the one with the Anglican MDiv

(maybe insert someting after the "bad to the bone" line,
"and bring him to the re-al-eye-ZAY-see-un
that this is your divine judgement upon him,
a karmic retalia-see-un for his previous naughtiness
that he is even now sitting in this workshop.
Uphold him in...)

This is wonderful!

Oh honey, one person really and truly thought that the church would be struck by lightning when I was ordained!

LOL,

Teaches you to park under a diciduous tree this time of year. ;-)

here's your mug, love:

I actually ordered one for myself today - I think it's the ultimate office accessory - you can say SO much just my showing up in a meeting with your coffee!

this is now my background on my pc at work.

I soooooo hate touchy feely "Personal Insight" workshops. I to to work to work with these people, not sleep with them.

conversely, does this mean you don't work chez KentBrianMichael??

[identity profile] cuyahogarvr.livejournal.com 2007-11-13 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
totally different context/environment - thank the gods!

[identity profile] trawnapanda.livejournal.com 2007-11-13 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I was trying to do an inverse --
I work with XYZ, not sleep with them,
I sleep with BK, not work with them

(sigh)
if'n ya have to explain it, chris, you didn't say it right the first time. the problem is with the author, not the reader.

a weak joke at best

mumbling panda

[identity profile] cuyahogarvr.livejournal.com 2007-11-13 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I got it, I just couldn't figure out a clever way of saying - I sleep with BK, not work with them - hence, the context comment. Sorry for any confusion.

[identity profile] trawnapanda.livejournal.com 2007-11-13 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
gotcher.

I sleep with BK, not work with them

does this mean you don't work around the house? Brian was putting it about, not long ago in this very space, that he was doing all the work both breadwinning and being Suze E Homemaker. You know, if you and Kent want to become Kept Men, lounging about with houseboy Brian to tender to your every need, I'd go for it. He seems to be softened up expecting it.

[identity profile] cuyahogarvr.livejournal.com 2007-11-13 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, they've often referred to me as the "houseboy" and since I will most likely be working from home, I'll also be doing my share of the housework, which is fine with me. As it is, we all seem to be doing our fair share around the house, although Brian seems to have a never ending supply of energy.

embrace your inner jarvis.

[identity profile] bjarvis.livejournal.com 2007-11-13 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
My inner Jarvis is a bitch.

Seriously, there hasn't been anything new so far which I didn't already know: I'm detail-oriented, impatient with unnecessary impediments & inefficiency and whatever my passion is, I'm not experiencing it with my current employer.

With a little luck, we'll have some deeper examinations which might lead to some useful insights or ideas.

with REAL luck, you'll get some blackmail-quality insights on diver and sundry individuals. you know, when they're sharing with the rest of the group.
