Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Re: the most homophobic country in the world.

Yeah, we suck. Suck more than every other country? Debatable. But we do suck hard. I was told that there are countries that officially sanction murdering homosexuals (Egypt was cited), but I haven't done the fact checking.

I emailed in to work from home today, but I'm so freaking dizzy I've done little.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I can't argue with that analysis. Iraq, for example. Closer to home, there was recently an ugly incident -- with poor police response -- in St. Maarten.

[Edit: Hold on. I'm trying to get a link to the Iraq story. BBC is slow suddenly.]

Fred, your links are messed up.

Let me try something else.

ETA: Hm. Computer not cooperating.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Slut for the birth year.

Me too! Whee!

OK. Here's something on St. Maarten.

BBC not cooperating, but here's a blog that discusses the BBC's story on Iraq.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Here's my conundrum: My university is apparently one of the member universities whose students can attend an education career fair on Thursday. However, I have heard nothing at all about this, which is strange, given -- hello! Education student! So I see that Career Services apparently held a seminar, required for people attending the career fair, in early April (at times I wouldn't have been able to attend anyway, because, as an education student in my final semester -- and thus, it seems to me, exactly the target audience -- I'm student teaching during the day). Apparently in order to register for this fair I should have gotten a registration packet from them.

Is it worth kicking up a fuss and asking if I can get this packet & stuff now? I suppose for local jobs I don't really need a fair, just a boatload of resumes and stamps. Still, this is pretty annoying.

Argh, argh, argh. Not leaving my office today if I can help it. A delegation from the Chinese government is visiting the company today, and the place is swarming with extra security AND protesters.

I really think you should.
