That Esquire article is brilliant, but also infuriating.

Well, at the very least, the author uses "arrant" correctly in a sentence. And who can be sad about that??

I'll get back to you when I've finished the article -- I do find a certain amount of it a little fishy. Just because people are morons doesn't mean that the Enlightenment will go out instantly.

In other news, is there a polite way to tell a boss-like person that she is treating you like a child, and should stop it? Because, yeah.

Why in god's name does Saks think that bra goes with that dress? Which reminds me -- I need some sort of strapless bra wonder if I'm going to wear the silver dress to the krav holiday party.

I didn't see that in the manual! Where is that?

I got the debug mode tip from rulerofall231 at the World Domination forum.

Today has been the world's longest day. I am basically sitting around to be on call for the desk. Then I work on the desk, my boss flits by and tells me to go away, SHE wants to work on the desk. Then 10 minutes later, she calls me and asks me to work on the desk in 10 minutes so she can go to another event. (We're dedicating the new building today. It's all academic pomposity and the kissing of wealthy behinds.)

Because a $228 bra goes with anything?

Har, Laura. Pretty much what I was thinking.

I hate the stressy thing too, msbelle, especially the creeps-up-on-you stressy thing.

I am so braindead that I can't prioritize what I need to do this afternoon. Sigh. Didn't get the coffee, at least not yet. Lunch was a higher priority.

Jess, I need a skirt(s) to go with the red boots I bought in Minn. You could help me find one.

I think a $228 bra should be pretty much invisible. Much more than that one.

Regexp humour.

IKEA! I must go to IKEA this weekend! Not so much because I need a whole lot of furniture, but because it's THERE.

Somervillains, who wants to go with me?
