You know what's kind of annoying? When you have to ask 4 people to okay something, and you call 3 of them after hours, miraculously find them all in their office, even though it's after 6:00 local time, and get their okay, but then discover that the 4th one is on vacation, and won't be back for a week, and isn't looking at his email or listening to his voice mail, which means that you have to a) wait a week to finish a 20 minute project, and b) have to ask the other 3 people, who didn't want to bother with the question the first time, to okay it all over again, since too much time will have passed.
Thanks for the COMM, Steph!
Thanks for the COMM, Steph!
You've got me giggling about Arrested Development all over again, so thank YOU.
Y'know, it just now occurred to me that the Purity Ball is the exact opposite of Motherboy.
HA!
And ouch, that laugh hurt my sinuses.
OK. I have done some dribs and drabs of work for the paper -- mostly getting the stuff I need. Tomorrow will be HARD CORE DAY. I swear.
The tacos I'm eating for lunch are like the Platonic ideal of tacodom. Fresh homemade tortillas, steak, onions, cilantro, and nada else. Mmmmmmmmmm.
Those purity dads? Obviously never worked on a stud farm. They need to reword that pledge to eliminate the phrase "cover my daughter," unless that's what they're bragging about.
Yick. Even then.
Dept. of Random, and also HAR:
One of the doctors I used to work for just stuck his head in the door and said, "So, I know this is completely insane and improbable because you never take vacation, but last Friday my family and I were stuck in the Las Vegas airport and someone who looked
exactly like you
walked right past us."
It's a big huge world, except for the part where it's frequently ridiculously tiny.
British study finds that hot chicks are distracting:
Catching sight of a pretty woman really is enough to throw a man's decision-making skills into disarray, a study suggests.
The more testosterone he has, the stronger the effect, according to work by Belgian researchers.
Men about to play a financial game were shown images of sexy women or lingerie.
The Proceedings of the Royal Society B study found they were more likely to accept unfair offers than men not been exposed to the alluring images.
I have a couple reactions to that study:
And then there's this:
The men's testosterone levels were also tested - by comparing the length of the men's index finger compared to their ring finger.
If the ring finger is longest, it indicates a high testosterone level.
Really?
And they call this a confirmed suspicion:
If a man is being asked to choose between something being presented by an attractive woman and an ugly men, they might not be as dispassionate as they could be.
I don't think it was so much a suspicion as something being bargained on throughout advertising.
