[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
School starts today. YAY!
Have fun, vw and Nora!
Am at work - dressed in a sassy black skirt. Low cut black top. Black tights and heels. So far, so good...
Humina humina! Have people made lots of "Oooh!" and "Ahhhh!" comments about your hair, hot stuff?
Am also at work. Red top, black pants, black Eastland clogs. Not sexy in the least but I didn't sleep a whole lot last night and really, my only goal for today is not rip anyone's head off. Oh - and not smoke.
I'm barefoot. I had pink heels on when I drove to the office, but they're history.
I'm thinking MG is looking mighty HOTT with the sassy hair and outfit.
Nicole - it is too early for other people here yet, but my contracts manager likes the new look.
Thanks, Laura - *blush*
Maaaaaaaaannnn
8 participants of Improv Everywhere's Annual Pantsless Subway Ride were arrested. SO lame.
I love them so. They're always nice -- even about the arresting officers.
From Trudy's link:
The cops in the other paddy wagon were infuriated over this, screaming "We've got the press chasing us and he's got to stop to eat!"
Cracked me up. At least some of the cops were easy going.
I have my tv for tonight already planned - which kind of makes me feel pathetic - but I also have my new favorite lotion with me at work (brown sugar & fig by Bath & Body Works) and that almost makes up for the pathetic.
haapy first day of school!
I am shoeless, but scince I just got out of bse this is not a surprise
Wait, what were they arrested for? They're in boxer shorts! Naked, I could see an arrest, but in clothes that are more decent than 1970s sport shorts?
Question for hivemind. I am trying to set up an appointment with a career counselor type person in my Uni's HR dept. Here is the first draft of an email I composed:
Hi, [HR person]. I met with you a while back in the summer of 2004, and, as a result of our conversation, met up with [dude who runs the pertinent program], and have taken the GRE's, and am in [master's school's] Masters of Higher Education Administration program. I'm going slowly, as I am still working full time, but I am enjoying the program so far and am very happy to be on this path. Thank you for all of your help pointing me in this direction.
While I am still enjoying my work in [my department], I have been wondering if it might be a good idea to explore jobs at the institute that may be more stable, as far as workload and hours go. [My department] is a very exciting place to work, and my boss has been very supportive of my decision to pursue my Master's degree, but the tendency for workload to be all or nothing, with times of 12+ hour days, and 50-60 hour weeks is something I'm trying to assess in light of my current, parallel commitment to school.
I want to make sure that I do a good job, wherever I am at [uni], and am excited to be pursuing a Higher Education graduate degree while working here, and very much hoping to put that degree to work here, once I obtain it, 4-5 years down the road. I was wondering if it would be appropriate to talk to you or one of your colleagues to determine what a good path would be, combining my contributions here at [uni] with my commitment to furthering my education.
I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
I sent it to Tom for his feedback, and he said that he thought it might be best to not be quite as forthcoming, because HR-land is, generally speaking, CYA-Land. So I pared down to this:

Thoughts? Advice?

Creating a nuisance I think.
Which is funny since stopping a train and taking it out of service is DEFFINATELY a nuisance, but not one created by them.
And they have to do it in winter because in summer nobody would even notice. So utterly not obscene in any way.
{{{Aimée}}} and Grrrr, and seconding everyone else who said go ahead and write the letter about the tatting shuttle. Beloved family member's belonging, would mean a lot to you -- the Ladies' Aid people may well turn out to be not only not resentful, but genuinely happy to reunite you with the shuttle.
Poor one-eyed Erin, stumbling around half-blind with c-notes shooting out her ass.
MG, the color and cut look just terrific on you.
Very trivial hivemind question for haircoloristas: I'm bored and annoyed by mine, mousy brown with whitening temples that are not at all taking to the crunchy nontoxic dye I've switched to. It worked fine the first time I tried it, but the last couple of times my hair has just shrugged and ignored it. Any suggestions for something that'll turn brownish (and whitish) hair plummy/deep auburn/cherry Coke-ish without being a completely toxic chemical soup? Should I start playing with Manic Panic?
