Fingertips...

[azurelunatic]

... My roommate and I are talking about the upcoming meeting I have with a Big Boss tomorrow. We're talking about preparation for the meeting. "And I'm not even prepared one finger yet!" I said somewhat angstfully.

Meetings in general, the analogy is two fingers.

This is a meeting where I have to present my database to the Big Boss, who is far enough above me in the organizational structure that he is at least my great-grandboss, if not more. Technically, Grandma Cinderella is my boss, Pink Shirt Guy is a level above her but not directly related to me, his officemate is probably technically my grandboss, Management is probably my great-grandboss, the lady who got downsized is my great-great grandboss, and then the Big Cheese is my great-great-great grandboss. At least. If there aren't more layers in between.

This is at least a four-finger meeting.

Eeek.

Hey, if you get fed up enough, it'll only take one finger!

[azurelunatic]

This is true.

Now...why did it take the yaoi writer so long to figure out this was an utterly dirty metaphore?

[azurelunatic]

Because you're so used to writing it, it doesn't occur to you that this was in fact not smut?

There's that...desensitization through use...though, I rarely go over two fingers...three maybe...now...I wonder...does the redhead need fingers...

[hcolleen.livejournal.com]

Not this redhead...the other redhead!

[azurelunatic]

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooood.

*hopes for the sake of her sanity that hcolleen is talking about the kitsune*

[hcolleen.livejournal.com]

Yes, I mean the blasted kitsune!

why do my favorite characters have the same hair color?! and why do I forget about this until after the post button is hit?

[azurelunatic]

Because you will be a sleep-depped redhead by the time you get back from the work?

[hcolleen.livejournal.com]

Yes, I will be...I should nap, but I need want to write out the damn scene...go to work!

[azurelunatic]

I shall, I shall, but I need want to write out a damn scene too! Plus I'm trying to make sure my coordination is all here.

Clearly I have an insufficiently dirty mind. I still needed to think about it even AFTER reading the "yaoi thread" in the comments.

*I* was wondering if your meeting prep involves drinking Scotch.

[azurelunatic]

Just coffee.

I think the workplace may not be prepared to handle a Drunken Lunatic.

IIRC you've commented on being something of a lightweight...so I suppose you're right. Not even 'one finger worth'.

[azurelunatic]

Not so much as a butterbeer! (Which is what I'm typing on right now!)
