    :superlaugh:That's how porn starts.

    I wouldn't object to "coffee" with this colleague but not in the coffee room and not with the faculty director around. Just not my kink.

    Ironically enough does mean two things.

    EDIT: (Scrolls up & up & up & up & up.... back one page... & down.... & up & down.... dear god I might as well be saying in & out you naughty bastards.)

    I count everything else meaning ten to fifteen things and I'm sure that number will keep going up & up & up, the further back I go.

    Aaah! You missed an opportunity! At that point, you should have pretended you didn't know he/she was the faculty director, and started loudly bitching about what a lousy job that scum of a faculty director is doing, and how they should be fired immediately. You should have griped about everything from the dress code to how the faculty director takes up two parking spaces with that big-ass pickup with the truck nuts on it. You should have talked about how great it is that everyone else in the organization keeps emailing the faculty director's boss with complaints about the faculty director's incompetence, as well as statements to the effect that the faculty director's constant leering at everyone while licking his/her lips and playing with his/her fly makes everyone uncomfortable, and how the smell in the faculty director's office keeps everyone wondering what kind of experiments go on in there, and who keeps visiting the faculty director late at night, and what kind of voodoo talismans they bring with them and burn.

    Then you should have said, "Not that any of that bothers ME, of course. I'm proud of my open-mindedness. And besides, owing to a genetic abnormality, I have no sense of smell." You should then have extended your hand and said, "Good to meet you, and before you ask, it doesn't matter to me whether you use the men's or ladies' room. I know that can be an issue with people at your stage of the process, and I just want you to know I'm cool either way."

    Then, just before your colleague returned, you should have smiled broadly and left.

    TMW you're stopped at a red light and the asshat in front of you decides to run it and you follow along because the light must be green if the other guy is moving, right? Fucking Rhode Island drivers... they're a special species of asshat.

    That sounds kinda of like you own fault. I always keep my eyes on the light.

    Also, Californians run reds all the time, myself included. (When its safe to do so of coarse)

    TMW your duck forgets to fear death and takes a chomp out of your Jack Russell Terrier. Lmao, my poor puppy was so good, she just jumped away from the duckling!

    TMW you do some revisions to a scene, and the scene is much improved and flows better. Then you set it aside for a couple of hours and when you read it back you see "his words" "the words" "her words" "English words", etc. Six damn instances in one scene!

    ETA: Seven. Fuck!

    TMW.... you are going back through to add some important secondary characters and discover... not mispelling... but a complet incorrect word.

    "are you hear to pay respects?"

    "Are you here to pay respects?"

    Hmmm... gotta wonder how many more are in my WIP. I have already learned my mistake with doing Find/Replace when it came to King... wanted to capitalize it, which is something I have a weird time remembering.... just to find ThinKing.... ThanKing... LooKing... MaKing.

    I feel your pain. Mine is typically too/to and there/their.
    Though there was the internal dictionary mishap when
    sympathetic was accidentally changed to symptomatic. :p

    TMW you check your email and see a weather report in it. So you open it up and:
    "Well that is just fucking great, but I don't live in Sheridan goddamn Wyoming." :D

    What is even funnier is when I create my own complex family names and even I have difficulty spelling them, I fucking came up with them. LOL.

    I have that problem too. It seems that I have an inconsistency with Marckus' last name.
    I am not to sure if it has one L or two. :p
    Solved my other name problem with a simple look in the first book, since
    the alien's name was much shorter, and made it an easy find and replace
    fix. :p

    I got some really complex names, you might have seen some of them by now. :p .

    Also...

    TMW... when you go back to insert important 2ndary characters, and see a lot of your grammatical errors and stuttered flow. Erh... again how much of this... my poor betas. (When the time comes)

    That moment when you share a video in the music thread just so you can find it again... and it still takes you five attempts to find it, even though you made a note on the page AND it's also the first video on the page.
