I killed the thread asking about Teppy.

Huh.

I'm still cursing never having had a teen girl body. You'd think, what with people who were born when I entered my teens now on the cusp of leaving theirs, that I'd be over it by now, but I have a flash of resentment every time I walk through juniors.

But jeans in one's actual size and t-shirts are pretty much ageless, right?

I know it's a whole different issue since I'm a man, but encroaching flab made me give up T-shirts except for special geekish occasions (and even then only under an undone button shirt) about 5 years ago. I really, really don't want to be sweaty overweight Comic Book Guy.

But why not? It's so eeeeaaaasy. And they save your addresses so you don't have to retype them every time.

Because they're technoretards! I asked the NY office how they generated vacation reports for their attorneys. They get a print out. Then somebody sits down and inputs the whole fucking thing back into their (already lameass, with crappy reporting functionality) absence tracking system. Nobody could figure out how to do an upload from the billing system. It's just data you fuckwits! Every database in the whole entire world can dump out a CSV file! Gahhhhh.

Killer robots performance art? How is that related to taxidermied cats in frames?

In their early days they didn't just do robots. They [avert your eyes if you're squeamish, or care about the dignified treatment of dead animals] would take recently dead animals and hook them up to robot armatures and make them twitch and run and move and open their dead jaws at you. We're talking still stinky roadkill cats and raccoons and dogs.

Speaking of, Gap "curvy" fit: I recommend it. Solved my jeans problem handily for only $40. (My jeans problem being a seven inch waist/hip differential). I imagine their "straight" fit is also a lifesaver.

I think poor management is pretty much par for the course with professional partnerships-- management decisions can't be made by non-lawyers, so you have a bunch of people trying to bill $600/hr while upgrading the billing systems. Hah!

What's a vacation report? Cuz I'm pretty sure I could take forty days this year and no one would notice.

Good tip to keep in mind. If the stomach starts putting pressure on the t-shirt, stop with the t-shirts. Thanks, Matt! I think I'm still good so far, as the stomach is a concern, but not a large one.

Steph, are you feeling better with no dizzy spells?

Yup. I have NO idea what all that was about, last weekend, but it seems to be gone, never to return.

I just finished watching Dodgeball, which was funny, but not as screamingly funny as I had hoped. Though apparently I am 12 and will laugh my ass off at dudes getting hit in the crotch and/or head every. single. time. It never gets old. Nor does "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!" The subsequent wrench to the head shouldn't be so funny, but it is, every single time.

What about a larger size?

Come to krav! I laugh too.

I think that if you're tucking it in, it's the size of the stomach, not of the t-shirt, that will determine the interaction thereof.
