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.
Cant sleep. Storm is noisy. I should get in the shower, get to work as early as possible, and therefore get home as early as possible. But no, here I sit, dreading the thought of driving in this crap.
Maybe lots of people will call in sick today. I'd love to call in sick, rent a stack of DVDs, bake a dark chocolate cake and dump a can of cherry pie filling on top, maybe give myself a pedicure and curl up to watch movies.
Can I call in with a terminal bad hair day? That's okay, right?
DUDE! Check out Seattle's hottest librarian.
Wow. Maybe I should apply for a job at the Seattle library.
We have a dog!!
Congrats Scrappy.
About 3 blocks from my MIL's house someone tossed a newborn baby from a car. [link] Happily the baby will be fine, but you know the only thing on television around here today. Unreal. Like they couldn't find dozens of hospitals to drop the child at if they didn't want him. Thankfully they won't get to raise the boy.
Uniquely American these days is working three jobs, none of them with health benefits.
Did the third world disapppear overnight? It's not unique, it's not American. It's just unfortunate.
Laura -- I don't get that either. Post partum insanity? Fear of ... judgment? I dunno.
There've been two abandoned newborns in Chicago this week - one of them thankfully left at a church in between services. The other, not so much.
ER: Hip displaysia? I thought only dogs got that.
Yay for new dog, Scrappy.
Laura, do you have a safe haven law in your state? We finally do. I thought it would never get here. Thank goodness the baby is safe. I hope the mother gets medical care.
I shudder to think of the process of determining precisely who is eligible for this menstrual leave.
cereal...
Allyson with plans like those, I think you're obligated to take a bad hair day, so the rest of us can live through you.
ita, I've got an employee who would march in the streets for that. She calls out every single month. We've told her to please adjust her work schedule around it, and she doesn't, and she calls the other employees and tells whoever picks up, be it husband or answering machine, exactly why she needs someone to cover her shift.
(Also, I couldn't get to the article without a login- is there a Buffista one?)
Try this, Lilty.
