Kristin, I saw that about a month ago. It was very interesting.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Well, because his tailor gets to stick pins into him with impunity. I would be able to tolerate a lot of verbal abuse for that kind of opportunity.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
You and juliana now must come to DC. Socialising can be fun if you don't take it too seriously.
True, true. But not taking it seriously is much like being a fly on the wall, yes?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Exactly. But I've got just enough capital to get us into the places and events where it would be worth our while.

Those games are fun. I come out all class mixy on all of them. It seemed pretty obvious to me which answers/items equated with various class labels.

I have a mix of Nouveau Riche and "downmarket" tastes, according to Chintz vs Shag. I don't have shockwave for the other two. (edited because my ts and hs hate each other. It's very sad. They're practically side by side on keyboard...)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
When I've been unemployed for long stretches of time, one of the most depressing aspects of it was dreading going to parties or anywhere social because I had no answer to "What do you do?"
I eventually started using "I'm job-free at the moment" and then explaining that I was looking for work in X or whatever it was at the time. One thing that happened to me with working as a programming contractor, with stretches of unemployment is that I got a bit more at home with not pegging my sense of identity to any one job, but to my career in general, and to my (non-paid) avocations. It was freeing in some very basic ways.

What was most revealing to me when I saw the documentary was the world of the "old rich". I think I'd always assumed that I could, chameleon-like, fit in to any social class if necessary. I hadn't realized how foreign that world was to me and how much of a sore thumb I would be in it. Really, a different world.

You never SAW conversations end so fast as when I explained that I was a technical writer, not an analyst. I was bearing The Dreaded Production-Class Cooties.
Heh. It's very interesting to see reactions to the answer "Where do you work" when you work for the Giant Software Company I do. People from the area ask "Full-time or contract?", while a lot of people outside the immediate area assume I'm one of those software millionaires they've read about.

(Also, I agree the games are a little silly and obvious--I think the site was designed for teachers to use with students.)
