I know. I was honestly empathizing, in a weird way.

Yeah, strokes are not good. I hope this meeting helps.

I'm all about "Well, I don't have a sense of humour about that, anyway."

This is what I do. Of course, there's one person that I said that to and he responded sarcastically with "Because you're a sensitive, unique snowflake". I stared at him and said "No, because I have social skills and can tell the difference between slightly barbed wit and being a prat."

In effect I am initiating a conversation where I will have to take a full blast of critcism and then get past it. So fun.

Ew. I hope it works out for the best.

Heh. My standard response to that sort of thing is "Damned right I'm sensitive. Don't make me kick you in the nuts."

This urchin would be vastly improved if he was continually doubled-over in pain.

I once worked with a guy who would say dreadfully nasty things and then claim it was all a joke, we were too sensitive, we didn't have senses of humor, etc etc.

I'm afraid I took him down in front of everybody one day when I snapped that I thought adding "it's a joke" didn't make him any less an asshole and that we were all really looking forward to the day he transferred out. He couldn't say nuthin and the rest of us were happy until he left to make the other store miserable with his managerial skills.

~ma for extraordinary verbal skills and the power of righteousness for the meeting with the manager.

That domain is still available....

(decides between using it for tattooed penises, drawings of penii, or pictures of roosters)

I do it for the recipes.

I've got a sub to the magazine, and I have the bible (New Best Recipe)...I guess what I'd be getting is the recipes from before I started getting the mag. Or cancelling the mag and saving trees.

How long have you been getting the magazine? Kat and I both get it (or at least, used to -- I think she still does). But even for the recipes I have in the mags, I find it easier to locate them online.

God bless full text searching.

We've got it, and if I'm employed full time before it runs out, we'll be keeping it. It's useful as hell for finding things in a hurry.

Hec, don't have a stroke. I hope the conversation goes well.

I have newish shoes with little kitten heels

I do not wear kitten heels, b/c they seem so utterly likely to give out under me, largely b/c I drag the outside of my heels when I walk, which means the teeny kitten heels are inclined to collapse and turn my ankles out.

ION, I installed RAM in my G4 this afternoon. I know it's one of the simplest things ever, but I still feel like a geek goddess.

IOON, I went to Target just to get fishnets for my Halloween costume, and I left with fishnets and Batman Begins. It was $16 -- how could I *not* buy it? I'm such an easy mark.
