2568icq w/A
evile: howdy :)
SkyeDS: how do :)
evile: recovered from the weekend yet?
SkyeDS: still a little tired/sleepy. chose not to go to fighter
practice, watched two of the ten movies I bartered for
evile: cool :)
SkyeDS: Ever After and What Women Want
evile: cute movies.
SkyeDS: 10 movies for a $5 ride wasn't bad
evile: *nod* that's pretty cool.
SkyeDS: saw Acadiana this weekend, she looks marvelous (you had said
that)
evile: *nod*
evile: she has a LJ, too.
SkyeDS: sineater asked what terms we were on with her, and I said look,
she's friendly to us, be friendly back. She and her now-ex pulled
some particularly nasty stuff on t he both of us a very long itme
ago, and I told him, far as I"m concerned, the statute of limitations
on that one has run
evile: It's not really in sineater to forgive & forget.
SkyeDS: well she paid the karma on it already
SkyeDS: hence her now-ex
SkyeDS: he did to her something similar to the prank they played on
us. debt paid.
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: besides, the best revenge is a life well lived
evile: *nod*
evile: Then again, if someone has proven to be untrustworthy in the
past, no reason to give them more opportunities to fuck you over in
the present.
evile: But one can always manage to be polite and unconfrontational
without admitting a person back into ones life and confidences.
SkyeDS: we can be friendly without trusting her with the lives of the
children
evile: *nod* exactly
SkyeDS: experience has taught me that if revenge is really all that
important to me, all I need do is wait. The Powers that Be extract
revenge far better than I do.
SkyeDS: the Law of Return really does work.
evile: yup
SkyeDS: besides, I don't care about revenge so much anymore
evile: good.
SkyeDS: and we're getting old, we don't have time for grudges, be it
in our natures or not
evile: heh.
SkyeDS: I think he's mellowing out in his old age, and just doesn't
want to admit it, or do so gracefully
evile: heh.
evile: the really amusing thing about my HS reunion is that I
recognized lots of people, but really didn't remember much about
them, and I know that in HS there were very bright hatreds & very
intense loves for a lot of my peers, all kinds of drama...and it just
didn't matter 10 years later, at all.
SkyeDS: the weirdest thing happened a while back
SkyeDS: I was doing work related research on the net
SkyeDS: and turned up this helicopter ambulance service page, and lo
and behold, there was a picture of my ex
evile: wow.
SkyeDS: he's doing what he always wanted to do, out in the middle of
nowhere, somewhere I've never heard of
SkyeDS: and he's uglier than sin
SkyeDS: he has not aged well, at all.
evile: heh.
SkyeDS: I'm happy for him in that he's doing what he wanted to do.
But I have to admit I took pleasure in his not aging well. Bad me.
evile: *shrug* that's normal, I think.
evile: ooh, I found a silk beledi dress online for $70
evile: http://www.desertraintribe.com/html/catalog_gawazees.html
SkyeDS: I love Beledi dresses
SkyeDS: not that I'll ever find one in my size
evile: they make patterns.
evile: I almost bought more patterns last night. Hancock has their
halloween ones on sale for $2.99 and Jo-Anns for $.99
SkyeDS: on sale before halloween and not after, cool
evile: *nod* with fabrics & patterns they usually do.
SkyeDS: I haven't checked doi yas mazikaa or shimmy shimmy in a while
evile: always fun to window shop
evile: I decided to mostly go with what I have for TRF this year. i
will be making a fleece cloak, that's it. Oh, and maybe buying a mug
to match my outfit. Oh, and a hat. Gotta have the hideous feathered
hat.
evile: but that's it.
SkyeDS: I'd like a leather cavalier hat with the plumes but it
wouldn't go with much
SkyeDS: although it would go with some of my court garb
SkyeDS: the various chemises with the new bodice, etc
evile: Liz of Tudor Tarts wears a cav. hat to faire.
evile: cav. hat, puffy shirt, pendragon bodice, tights, & high boots.
SkyeDS: no skirt?
evile: all in red & black.
evile: nope.
SkyeDS: wonder if I could do that, with my salwar pants rather than
tights
evile: when she is performing she wears a skirt & no cav. hat.
SkyeDS: although I have two lovely tribal dancing skirts, that I
could wear a chemise, the bodice and a cav hat with
SkyeDS: don't know that I want to wear the cav hat riding per se
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: or the bodice
evile: yeah...
SkyeDS: Dracon and his lady were at HK too
evile: oh, cool.
SkyeDS: met him when they were admiring Ragi in her bedouin garb
evile: They are incredibly sweet people. Very gracious.
SkyeDS: he put the rest of the dancers in the shade and had the most
awesome scimitar (on my wish list
evile: *nod* you should make it out to casa de luz Desert Passion
more often :P
evile: this last one was interesting in that they had vendors, too.
SkyeDS: brb
SkyeDS: bk
evile: welcome back.
evile: I am so ready to go home. I get all these ideas of things I
want to do, and then by the time I get home I've got no fucking
energy to get them done. it SUCKS. I hate working here.
SkyeDS: <hugs>
evile: I just wish I could get my quota and go home.
evile: *sigh* but you've heard this before, and I'm sure you're as
tired of it as I am.
evile: One of our people just decided to take a cruise..did not ask
for the time off, she just informed my boss she was going and did.
Unbelievable.
evile: boss lady has been scrambling around all day distributing this
woman's workload among the rest of us.
evile: un. fucking. believable.
SkyeDS: this is not a firing offense?
evile: granted, we are pretty caught up, but still...I just can't
believe what a fuckin' doormat my boss is, and yet she still persists
in her snarky little comments to me and little bitchy emails about
tiny mistakes, and such.
evile: I would think it's a terminable offense. Basically, I think
this woman called from teh road "Oh, by the way, I'm taking a cruise
this week, bye!"
evile: If this were my employee, she would come back to her things in
a box and her exit paperwork sitting on her desk.
evile: But my boss is a worm, apparently. And I have too much
fucking character/ethics/morals to take advantage of this fact.
dammit.
SkyeDS: gag at the gnat and swallow the camel
evile: something like that, yeah.
SkyeDS: I personally would use that info in my mind to remind myself
to ignore her gagging at whatever gnats of mine she perceives
evile: *nod*
evile: it's just so frustrating. If I didn't give a shit about my
work product, she'd have far less to snipe at me about .
evile: the fact that I do 20% of the work, means I make about 15% of
the mistakes, so I get the most shit.
SkyeDS: <hugs>
evile: thanks.
evile: I've more or less accepted that Im going nowhere in this
agency, and that all this is for is for the paycheck that I use to
fund my real life...just frustrating when I have to put my real life
on hold to waste a bunch of time here.
evile: oh well. I have things to look forward to....I guess that's
the important part.
evile: Tomorrow is new moon, no wonder I'm so low-energy & ick.
evile: do you read the austin voyagers yahoo group?
SkyeDS: I am subscribed to it
SkyeDS: I read it when you or someone else mentions there is
something interesting
evile: there was a recent post about looking for 'ladies of the
camarilla' and membership cards & such. I guess this is not VTM
Camarilla he's talking about.
SkyeDS: no clue
SkyeDS: there is an official WW organization called the Camarilla, I
don't know if they carry cards or not
evile: me, neither. I was looking at the model requirements and
going "membership card???"
evile: I can't look at any of the photo links the poster gave,
because I'm at work & heaven forbid we see a little boobie at work.
evile: I will look from home, I guess & see what that's all about.
evile: Oh, cool. sineater sent me a link to the news story about the SCA.
SkyeDS: where?
evile: he posted it in your LJ, as a reply to a comment I posted in
your LJ.
SkyeDS: I couldn't find them online when I went looking, oh well
evile: it happens. apparently there are ways to make sure that your
website gets picked up by search engines, and perhaps the paper
hasn't used them
SkyeDS: dinks didn't mention equestrians anyway <sigh>
evile: oh well.
SkyeDS: yawn
evile: me too.
evile: I'm gone in like 15 min, though.
evile: Dinner with Sweetie, Jaime, Big James, and whoever, and then I
will go get all my TRF camo peasant acoutrements.
SkyeDS: I didn't get here till 11, so not leaving till 7
evile: oh, yucko. poor you.
SkyeDS: what I get for not coming in till 11 (which is SOP on
Tuesdays)
evile: *nod* you gotta pay for your fun.
SkyeDS: I take M to class on Mondays and Tuesdays. So Monday I'm
here at 12:30 and Tuesday I'm here at 11.
evile: *nod*
evile: It's nice that you get to flex your schedule like that. All
business studies say that's the way to go. The state may get around
to it eventually, when I"m retiring.
SkyeDS: I still dream about telecommuting from time to time
evile: I dont' think I'd have the discipline.
evile: Plus, these days, I don't LIKE being at home. it's dirty and
icky and needs lots of work.
evile: well, time to blast off.
SkyeDS: HUGS wind to your wings
evile: *hugs* see ya later! :) Have fun workin!
SkyeDS: :P
