Well, poop. I found out today that I didn't get an interview for a job I had good hopes for. It was within my union so I should have had first crack at the interview, but they worded the job ad with very specific qualifications, as if, oh, they were trying to exclude internal candidates. So I got screened out even before the interview. Tomorrow I think I might try to find out where in the process I got screened and see if it's worth filing a grievance with the union.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

That's too bad, Sue. I hope you find something that tickles in a nice work way.

Thanks sarameg. I has such hope in the fall of getting out of my sucky job, but now, nsm.

Anyone else think this is a goofy movement (no pun!): [link]
I mean, I think an equal number of toilets to toilets+urinals seems like a reasonable solution, but extra PLUS legislation? Over toilets? Where we pee? Give me a break. I'm all for equality, but good grief. Plus, the argument that women are more likely to be toting children as an argument kind of irks me. (my dad was as likely as my mom to take me to the "potty.")

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Poor you, Daisy! Owie.
You, too, Sue, but less physically.
I just went to the beginning of semester dinner at school, and now I'm all inspired and shit. Tom Daschle was fine, but I am SO IN LOVE with the new City Council speaker. She kicks unbelievable amounts of ass. Love.
OH! Where's ita? My friend thought Ang Lee was gay, too! And he is gay himself! So there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jesse, that means you have silly friends.

If I only had a brain...
People have done studies. A woman takes longer in a stall than a guy does, so you actually need more toilets per female attendee than per male attendee to achieve the same throughput.

As long as it means I'm not alone, I'm OK with that.

You're never alone, even if you don't know where the rest of your kind are.
