Well you have the option of being a total hardass for the last two days. You also have the option of not caring anymore. Somewhere on the continuum between those two will probably work out OK. That might even be provable.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Stuff on Stephen Hawking: [link]
I found this interesting:
Hawking was asked why his computerized voice has an American accent.
"The voice I use is a very old hardware speech synthesizer made in 1986," he said. "I keep it because I have not heard a voice I like better and because I have identified with it."
He said he once considered using a machine that gave him a French accent, but he did not because his wife would divorce him.
Hawking said he is shopping for a new system because his current hardware is large and fragile, using components that are no longer made. "I have been trying to get a software version, but it seems very difficult," he said.
How weird must it be to have to pick out your own voice? and to not be able to find the voice you like due to hardware obsolescence? Of course, what he didn't say was that everyone else associates that voice with him, and how weird it would feel for people if he changed it....

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
You know, I won't need to rent Beaches in order to clear out this tear duct. All I need to do is keep job-searching for another hour and I'll be crying like the baby Jesus reading badfic.
Coming from the other side of the job-searching thing (we're hiring), I totally feel your pain.
But I think that they have to be sad tears. Sad tears are loose. Tears of frustration just seem tight to me. Does this make any sense at all?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
It seems like somethings that look rather skanky on someone with an average chest, often look rather unskanky on larger chested women . And it isn't that less real estate is visible, in fact more usually is, it's just less provocative somehow.
As someone who is flat chested, I tend to agree, except I'd say that some necklines just look more attractive on a larger bosom and some look better on a smaller one.

Burrell-I just left a note in your LJ since I wasn't sure how to reach you. Just letting you know in case your email comments was turned off. Nothing major--just an invite.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Maybe its that with more real estate some is bound to show but with less the wearer is obviously trying to flaunt. It's like clevage intent.

Thanks, Kristin. I'll go look for it. After I catch Isaac.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
In other first-world-problem news, TWoP has had this ad on every page the last few days that covers a good portion of my screen, and I can't close it. When I scroll down, it goes away, but I'm still losing part of the content, as things under the ad are unclickable. feh.

Do you have a degree at all? That's one of my problems with moving elsewhere.
I have a BA in English. Which, as you might imagine, isn't terribly useful in the IT world.
