That said, I'm doing Christmas baking this weekend and am considering trying my hand at Snickerdoodles.

"Christmas" and "Bastille Day" look TOTALLY different.

No doubt. Even more baffling - she's an ERISA attorney. If she can keep that shit straight, no idea why she can't devote a bit of mental energy to knowing the difference between a former-spinster-squirrel-feeder-turned-internet-dater and a ragaholic-Ohian-turned-internet-dater. Wait a minute here...

You're only half tribal, so you're too damn conflicted to figure out what the fuck you think this time of year.

Here's an Xmas thought - debating the age of the horseshit you believe is almost as fruitful as the "He Lied/No he didn't" debate over on the FB.

1. I'm a full-blooded MOT; I just don't buy into all the ritual and shit.

2. The only thing I'm conflicted over is why you're responding for PLF and Hankster. I thought you didn't much care for the blowjob?

3. The He Lied/Kerry's Brain is Fried debate is on the PB; this is the FB, dumbass.

4. Suck it.

5. Hard.

6. Happy fucking Friday.

This is a surprising admission from a MOT.

Is the asterisk-with-no-reference some kind of coyly cute inside joke? Because while I don't get it, it's annoying.

I have never felt close to you.*


*Not only because I get it.

This is gonna be so fucking awesome.

ltl/fb, please know that we understand in advance that you will be so completely emotionally devestated from the total burn that you will probably need to immediately retire from the FB forever. No need to try to pull it together long enough to make some attempt at a farewell speech.

Oh. You're back. Pussy.

Similarly, when one has been at a firm for less than a full year, is the xmas present obligation pro-rated or are you supposed to fully comply with the obligatory hijacking (on the theory that the guy you replaced is not going to provide anything)

It's a July 1st cut-off. If you start after, then you can go with the half-gift.

Wait a little bit. Either Sebby or Hank will explain it's because I'm a self-hating Applebees diner.

This happens all of the time in bars. "Guys, my shifts up. If it's okay, I'm going to close out your tab. You can open a new one with Susie." Close out. Tip current waitress. Open new tab. Drink. Close tab with Susie. Hit on Susie b/c you are drunk. Get rejected. Tip Susie.

I once had a waitress (at a casual Italian place) insist that we had to pay before we were done because she was leaving. She got a nice crisp George Washington as a tip.

that's a dollar more than she would have gotten if she had just left.

most people have that sock on ignore. When you quote its posts you force us to read them. Please do not quote that sock's posts unless you have a very good reason.

ETA: Alternative "Hank-like Reply" (tm) was "So, Starbucks was out of the chocolate croissants today?"

Ummm, no. That would be a (second rate poster trying to do Hank fringey slam)-like Reply.

I've been wrong before, but is there any difference between snickerdoodles and round sugar cookie dough balls rolled in cinnamon and sugar and baked?

Question: Since I am no longer my own secretary, do I get to give myself an Xmas gift anyway? What do you think would be appropriate. I'm not much into Starbucks.

If you are your own boss, you may give yourself a gift. Alcohol or spa day. If you don't have a secretary, you are your own secretary even though you don't have one, and can get an additional alcoholic or spa-type gift for that. And don't forget to pick up a gift for yourself while you are shopping for your boss and your secretary.

In addition to no longer being my own secretary, legal assistant, administrative professional, whatever-the-hell, I am also no longer my own boss, but I'm pretty sure I deserve some alcohol anyway. Alas, I am reluctantly dry right now, so a spa-day it is. Or three.
