Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Jesus Fucking Christ.
Somebody mistakenly sent out an email which went out Firmwide. Thousands of people.
And NOW dozens of people are replying ALSO FIRMWIDE that they got the email in error. How fucking stupid do you have to be to add your "me too" to the mistake?
file it under: people who are not us, suck.
And in completely unrelated "who is a total dummy? Who is a total dummy and needs to do something right this minute in order to not scream at herself?" news, who just spilled water all over the exercise she's working for the last few days (still unfinished) and now has to copy *everything* because it was written in pencil and by tomorrow it'll be a unreadable paper mesh?
No, come on, guess who.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sorry. I've just seen this So.Many.Times.
Nilly, is it me? Sounds like me.
She called to apologize (she had the wrong area code), and I told her if she hires the guy, he owes me flowers.
It was great of you to call Allyson. And I admire this woman for calling you back to explain her error. Unfortunately most folks would have just dialed the new area code and never bothered to apologize.
Today I had to write a check for 600 bucks to a man whose unattended car my wife damaged in the parking lot. My wife called me at the time to ask what to do, and I told her to leave a note with our phone number. So when I paid the man he thanked me profusely for our honesty. I told him it would be nice if honesty was the norm rather than the exception. Now I hope the karma wheel gets me my 600 bucks back.
For some reason, people keep leaving messages for random businesses on my home voice mail.
A roommate and I used to get messages for a Dr. Hayden despite the fact our message ended with, "This is NOT DR. HAYDEN'S OFFICE. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE MESSAGES FOR DR. HAYDEN!"
If it sounded really important, someone's health at stake, we'd forward them to the doctor. If it was just someone calling for an appointment, we ignored and deleted.
Pencil usually survives those accidents pretty well. It's the water-soluble pen inks that get you.
t As a reporter, took many notes in the rain.
But you didn't type rm *.* in your home directory and hit return, did you? It is still currently salvagable. Not a dummy. Just damp.
What can be done to her that's as bad as what she's got to live with?
If I kill someone and feel really bad, I don't need any other punishment?No, that's why I also said I have no problem with her being charged with something. The post was in response to someone saying they didn't know what she'd be charged with, if anything.
That's the thing. If she drove into the water with another adult who wound up dead, no one would think twice about charging her with something.I don't think that this has anything to do with it being a child. I think it's just like, "Oh, shit, we don't have a stupidity and arrogance charge. What fits?" I have no more or less problem with her being charged with anything because it was a kid, I just think it is bound to pale in comparison. I know three people who were driving cars involved in fatal accidents. Not one of them had been drinking, or high, or anything, and none had bad driving records. They all had to be charged. The legal charges were like getting bapped with a nerf ball, compared to the lead pipe beating about the head, of knowing they'd killed someone--in two cases, someone (an adult) they loved.
I read they're thinking of fining drivers who drove past barricades. Making them pay for the rescue effort.
It seems like every year they talk about doing this to people who get stranded on ice out in the lake.
