What is even happening?

Aimee, I think that is a great response.

vw, do you not want to go because of the heat?

Compassionately intolerant

I wish you didn't feel bad, Aimee, because you're being both responsible and kind.

What -t said Aimee. Seriously.

The bride for the wedding I just did invited me to go to an island with her and a bunch of our friends...not only finance, but Bartleby and well...working the wedding design...plus other responsibilities just made it a choice I was not willing to make. I love her and appreciated the invite but, frankly, I didn't feel bad at all. Not accepting the invitation was not a statement about her and I'd feel weird if she thought it did.

In the end, I was glad I didn't go. There were reports of plastic penises, bar hopping and general bitchery that make bach-elor, -ette events of little interest.

With the mask comes the responsibility, Trudy.

I was thinking more along "long lines of men" lines.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Skippety-skipping with a clothing question: If a hiring manager specifically says "We're a casual office, so no need to wear a suit or stockings," should I take that seriously?

Exactly what -t said. Err on the side of formal, particularly if it's an interview. I do a lot of interviewing for my very casual office, but I expect business dress when people come in for interviews.

Up with the sun

Yeah, I was thinking I should at least bring the jacket for the interview. It's terribly artificial, because it's 92 freaking degrees outside and who wears a heavy black jacket in that heat (answer: People who desperately need a job), but it's better to wear it anyhow.

-t, I wish it was my first day!

And Aimee, you did the right thing. Hugs.

Mostly lurking...

Oy. It's hot out. Poor kids/rest of the staff are doing "project day" today. This means they're all outside gardening and whatnot. Great. They're gonna be all stinky all afternoon. Hee!

Also, wearing this lei is hot. But, my bag is still cute.

Oh, and if I haven't mentioned it lately, I love my iPod.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

My mom used to burn her tampons over the gas flame in the kitchen, because they had trouble with vermin getting into their garbage. She said it made her feel like she was performing some arcane rite.

That's one of the weirdest things I've ever heard.

vw, could you take the lei off if everyone else is outside anyhow?
