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.
t rereads
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!
Do you think she'll remember us little people?
I don't think she'll ever think of us again.
::sniff::
Hil does math for glamor and the fast life now, I remember when she did it to figure out how much she had to drink.
Or how to cut 13 brownies in a pan. Ah, back in the day.
Fortunately, she'll be able to afford a driver.

Its about the new safety recommendations for car seats, etc. Among other things they're telling us:
The government recommends that parents have any infant up to 20 pounds ride in a rear-facing child seat and any toddler weighing 20 to 40 pounds ride in a child seat with a harness. The government says a child heavier than 40 pounds but not yet 4 feet 9 inches tall should be in a booster seat.
All children are advised to ride in the back seat until age 13.
Why do they give a size recommendation for the one and an age for the other? It makes no sense. I was taller at 12 than any number of Buffistas who drive are now. My suspicion is that they don't want to give a size for that very reason.
