tea is soothing, i wish to be tense

check out that date and marvel and the irony: got a look at what i am hoping is a provisional rota for the new world order and it's not good. i can't actually tell you how not good it is, it's that not good. i was having a good day til i got to work! and now i need a hug and have no-one to get one from :-(

the quote? it's from 'buffy the vampire slayer', the final ep of season 3 (my fave season). I don't wish to be tense, but after reading that rota, I am tense.

Library: Giles comes out of his office massaging his right shoulder, while Xander walks in carrying a Styrofoam cup.
Xander: "Any word from Buffy?"
Giles sits down at the table: "Not yet."
Xander: "Here is your cup of coffee. Brewed from the finest Colombian lighter fluid" Sits down across from Giles.
Giles: "Thank you." Takes a sip. "Horrible." Takes another sip.
Xander: "Aren't you supposed to be drinking tea anyway?"
Giles: "Tea is soothing. I wish to be tense."

thanks to NB for the loan of coffee mug and jar of coffee, and for loaning the end of his desk for the photo shoot (teaspoon: stylist's own). also thanks to NB for putting up with me whining and generally being useless rather than talking about how i can find another way of making money. thanks pet.
