kruker, mine is better

really though if he just let you do it there is no way the story would be as awesome as it is.

I love her TD. She's one of the most beautiful women I' ve ever seen. Well done.

bricking it somewhat. have landed a good copy editing job on a long SF series (Chung Kuo, if any of ye remember books about china taking over the world from the early 90s), but it's been a long while since I did any copy editing and so now I'm crapping my self about commas, conjunctions, all manner of subclauses. And whether I should really be touching any of it, because it's all well written. Oh, and tracking every character and the whole goddam timeline, which given that this thing is now going to run to 16 odd books (it was originally 6 or 7 large ones), will be long and sprawling. and keeping it all consistent.

everytime I ever bitched about a copy edit is about to come back and haunt me.

fuck.

On the bright side, you can always pop in and yell at us all for being spineless pussies in the gamethreads.

only the finest for trent's fantasies.

Had a woman from work proselytize me after work today. I went to a place to get some grub after work, went to walk back to my car and was walking by my office building when she came out and proceeded to chat me up for thirty minutes. I guess I should've just told her I find it all BS, but didn't want any blowback from work. She kept saying she'd give me 'books' and that she knew I would find jesus christ. I seriously didn't know how to end it.

I guess I can't report this crap since it was after hours.

Anyone have any ideas on how to end this crap w/o just getting crappy with them? I told her 'not interested' and that wasn't enough. I told her I was agnostic as best and she said that 'no one is' and launched into why. I tried to say that the bible wasn't completely historically accurate and she said she saw on the 'history channels' that it was. I said I went to a catholic college and had to take several courses in theology and she responded with 'oh well that's not Christianity, THIS IS'. Sheesh!!! It works for her, great. Leave me alone.


oh, and aishwarya rai is amazing. let's discuss this further.

Good God

Looks to me like an Indian Miranda Kerr (I think it's the eyes)

Always lie to those people and tell them that you are saved. Make up a date. That seems to satisfy them.

dude. sorry.

Though voluntary, I had one employer explain to me that anywhere I was present with subordinates or peers I had to follow company HR rules whether I liked it or not... which was a pretty crappy feeling but I saw their point from an HR or lawsuit perspective. I was drug to a strip club after a company dinner and resented it because I felt like I had to go. The point is - you can report this if you feel like you need to, despite occurring after hours. You are co-workers whether you are at work or not and that puts pressure on the relationship that wouldn't be there otherwise.

I wonder if you could say just the right thing to make her back off - "I don't think this is an appropriate conversation for us to have" or even laugh it off, "My mom always taught me never to talk religion or politics".

sorry about your cat, j

Yeah. They remember the date and circumstances. Tell them you were taking a dump and that's when it happened. That works good.
