Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
See, I thought she was just really old. I'm not sure I feel any better now. Our NPR station just picked her up in the last year and I don't know why.
lisah, i'm so sorry to hear about the baby who died. Joe and I both were very sad for her and her parents last night.
Grrrr. Just sent off a Personnel Action for a new hire (which notifies a chain of people who need to deal with that, and also goes up a hierarchy chain) and it got dinged because the salary wasn't right.
Now, I put the salary that was on the offer letter, which is what I'm supposed to do. But the salary schedule has changed between the time the offer letter went out (Dec) and now (almost March). So I talked to LA!Boss about this and she got all snippy that we should have known about the change.
Which is all fine and dandy, except (a) I'm not high up enough to possess a salary grid; and (b) they're changing the salary strucgture again and it hasn't been officially approved as yet. Not that I would know since I'm not in that loop.
Fucking organizational stupidity. Your system is stupid! Don't act like I'm stupid because I did what I'm supposed to! Besides which - LA!Boss approved it and it got dinged at Firmwide. Which is why she's grumpy about it.
Samurai Sam's - Chinese. GREAT chicken teryaki.
One of these things is not like the other. Is it a Japanese place, perhaps? Or one of those random mix of asian dishes places?
I feel like an ageist (if that's a word) saying this, but I can't stand to listen to her.
She's actually rather young, but yeah, her throat condition gives her total Old Lady Voice. I just can't bear it.
She's quite elegant and lovely in person.

We recently hired an editor -- who sits 3 feet from me -- with Diane Rehm voice. And yeah, it's hard to bear.
Genes are cool -- Mixed-race couple gives birth to black and white twins.
Both Kylie and her partner Remi Horder, 17, are of mixed race. Their mothers are both white and their fathers are black.
According to the Multiple Births Foundation, baby Kian must have inherited the black genes from both sides of the family, whilst Remee inherited the white ones.
The odds against of a mixed race couple having twins of dramatically different colour are a million to one.
The family picture in the article is really striking.
Guess what this is and win $15 [link]
thanks Stephanie. I'm so sad my nieces never got to meet their little cousin. It must be so confusing for them.
I like Diane Rehm's Friday show where she talks about the week's events. That's it.
I don't think I've heard Diane Rehm. Sounds like I'd remember. It took me a while to realise that the books and movies podcasts were cobbled together from anything vaguely applicable since the last podcast. It was getting very confusing--random.
