the only point to debate was whether or not I say it enough. I contend, no.

ION, I have made 2 calls today to the Dept. of Ed about enrolling for English Language Tests for mac. Everyone has been super nice and helpful and one even congratulated me. so nice from such an unexpected place.

That is nice, msbelle. Can you tell us where mac is from?

I am having a not-great day. Yelled at for not producing something for which I don't have all the info, accidentally leant on bad finger, and am having a headache and should already have left for lunch. But I'm project planning and icing and being still petulant.

But I hate Salon more every time I read an article there. Such shitty writing.

We were just talking about that in the car on the way back from an iced tea break. It's gotten mushy-headed, right? I thought I was just getting dumber.

I love hearing about Mac! This is very exciting!

Ahem. Sorry. Am full of bouncy energy today. But it is very exciting!

In good work news, I skillfully got myself out of a potentially unpleasant conversation, while at the same time ensuring that my opinions were transmitted.

AND I just got one of the things I need from one of the too-busy people I've been waiting on.

Bad reporting

Headline:

Study finds risks for the barely overweight Just a few extra pounds can lead to premature death

final paragraph:

But other researchers are not convinced, saying the findings are questionable for a number of reasons, including the fact that the weight data relied on the participants' recollections, which are notoriously unreliable, instead of direct measurements. Also, the sample is not necessarily representative of the general population.

Today is just not getting better.
