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 was late in to work today, but I've been doing mostly work and now I am off for an uber-productive lunch.

Apparently friendster now shows who's viewed your profile and whose profile you've viewed. Which makes stalking a little harder. This is a horribly privacy-invasive feature since it's apparently retroactive.
There is free ice cream in the caf.
Except I don't eat ice cream. I want a monte cristo sandwich.
I hate when I fixate on the currently unattainable.
Oy. I just got busted by my boss. And she's totally right.
She's misreading me a bit ... she mistakes my explanation for justification, and she says that she knows I'm being lazy (oh, hello, I so am) but pointlessly because I'm good at the martial arts, and there's no way I could be and be lazy like this.
Well, she doesn't know if I'm good at krav (the fact that she's right is irrelevant -- she has no evidence), and what she really doesn't know is that my main sparring weaknesses are just like the laziness I exhibit on the job. I have this stupid conviction about a straight line being the shortest distance to my goal -- no matter how long it takes to traverse the straight line ("Work the angles!" is the note I get most when sparring).
But she's basically "You're clever, charismatic, and lazy. We'll be talking often. Fix it."
Oy.
because I'm good at the martial arts, and there's no way I could be and be lazy like this.
Ahahahahahahahaha!
More seriously, I've gotten pretty much the same review before, and... ugh.
Oy. I just got busted by my boss. And she's totally right.
Damn, I hate when the second part follows the first. There's not enough room left to comfort yourself.
...
Is the New Yorker B&T label anti Italian-Americanism in disguise?
Oh, the whole clever and lazy thing. Yoiks. I've been coasting on clever for about six years now: it's a problem.
B.org is not helping, frankly.
That was my favorite xpost, ever.
And! And! To make it worse, she's all "People get more disappointed in you since you make such a good first impression."
I haven't gotten called on that since school. I'm so pissed.
