OK, here's another random thing: I hope in class tonight that everyone else's employment law cases are as fascinating as mine is. I had to find something about discrimination, and people are fascinating, I tell you what. The one I finally picked was about a guy who had a lifelong dream of being a sanitation worker (!!), but has vision problems and got fired because of them.
And we live to fight another day.

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.

I never got to the meth part of "The Purpose Driven Life".
See, if you had gotten that far, it would have changed your life.

Diet. Coke. on. monitor. You have no idea HOW funny that is to me.
Too bad this board has no awards for "Funniest One-Liner Of The Year," because that's "put on a tux and get berated by Joan Rivers" quality.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
In non-food news, I had mandatory training for Outlook (the firm is in the process of switching to it from Eudora) scheduled for today at 10. I showed up at 10:07, about 10 minutes before anyone else, including the trainer, sat there for over 30 minutes, and then got sent away because the trainers (aka our IT department) were having technical difficulties.

What do people use for downers, then?
Alcohol and Benzodiazepines (like Valium) mostly, if you are talking about not-tightly-restricted drugs.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm trying to work out which cultural touchstones I'm missing because I fail to remotely get Gud's meth snark.
But it's okay. I have cassava.
One man's meat....
Thai, I think, for lunch.

Blah blah story of woman who talked down violent nutter by reading aloud from book, blah blah book was The Purpose-Driven Life, which is the bookclub item du jour in religious circles, blah blah when push comes to book contract woman admits that it was actually the liberal application of illegal drugs that "talked" violent nutter down, and at best they rested their coffee cups on aforementioned book blah blah neat-o-keen story about religious books soothing the savage breasts of nutters is woefully lacking in truthfulness.
