OMG! I totally forgot to tell you guys what happened at my great-grandmother's funeral luncheon! (I think) Nora, I can't WAIT for you to go off on this.
My Eldest Uncle, said, to my sister, in front of about 15 relatives, and I quote -
"Yeah, she smokes. And she wonders why she doesn't have a job OR a man!"
awaits indignation
I think they're just all stunned.
I know I was when I heard about it.
Is your Uncle's name "Cliff"?
Very addled uncle, Aimée.
If smoking stopped work or a love life, there would be a massive increase in unsexed, jobless people around the country.
ION, We have a winter storm developing here through tomorrow night.
One I might have to drive through to my first day of work tomorrow.
I might have to build a survival kit. Haven't needed one this winter, as we had no need to go out of town on bad winter days.
Okay, I realize the mundanity of this and that I'm making something of a bigger deal than it really is. But would it have killed her to at least acknowledge that that bothered me? Instead of throwing thinly veiled blame at me again? jesus. I might just become a hermit. Honestly.
@@ That hermit thing is exceptionally attractive sometimes.
"Yeah, she smokes. And she wonders why she doesn't have a job OR a man!"
Well obviously. Everyone knows it.

Though the hermit-y thing probably explains why I have neither job nor man.
Urg. Been doing pretty well with the diet the last few days, but my minion suggested beers after work today and...yeah.
But he had a point - we've made it halfway through our boss being gone! Said boss being the first line of defense against the seriously psycho dynamics of this company - I've bitched a little on lj, but left out a shitload, really. So, yay us.
Also, kind of drunk now. Think I'll go grab another beer.
Hi everyone. My internet connection's been messed up for the past few days, so I just skipped a whole ton of posts. Hope I didn't miss anything important.
I started at the internship today. It was a lot of fun, and pretty cool.
Hil has gone all Hollywood!
