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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Nothing like killing the thread with some whine.

Happy Birthday to ita.

Happy belated birthday to shrift (One of the last posts I've read so far in the previous thread mentioned it.)

They held up reports that Democrats would conduct their first 100 hours without allowing Republican amendments.

One of the pieces of legistlation they plan on enacting in their first 100 hours includes minority party protections.

They're not allowing any Republican amendments in the first hundred hours so the Repubs can't scuttle any of the legislation with trick amendments.

I'm not so much with the caring about the Repubs' problems at this point. Talk to me in a hundred hours and I'll take a moment to consider giving some thought to caring, depending on if they're actually getting screwed over, or if their just trying to upset the apple cart.

In more alarming news, I think my tv is threatening me. It keeps blipping on me like it does when the antenna gets a good static discharge. This would be bad. Ugly Betty is new! New last of OC! New CSI! BAD, people, BAAAAAD.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Sorry to be late with the sympathy, Kalshane. That really does suck, but then we've known your employer is run by asshats, or worse, clueless asshats. Like the asshat that called my project lead at 3:05 PM last Friday -- we were closing at 3 for the holiday BTW -- and demanded that somebody be called in out of vacation to prepare something for him.

Not that he could have been reached, even if she'd wanted to try. I've told her to stop answering her phone when its time to put on her coat, but does she listen to me?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

we were reporting exciting evenings?

mine was get through adjustment period of coming home, dinner, homework with mac, bathe mac, read bedtime stories, lay down until mac is asleep. Now I get to log on and do a couple hours of work.

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

Wait--so one of the twins will be named Clementine?

Me, I have nothing more exciting than kettlebell planned for the evening, but judging by how much I post about it, that must be very exciting indeed.

I just hope my lunch digests properly before class starts. I have half an hour.

You're welcome! How many did you COMM, he said expectantly?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I have to get up 4 hours early so I can make the commute to corporate to arrive 3 hours ahead of my normal start time to do something I could do better from my normal desk, just so there's someone physically in the department tomorrow. WTF?

Yeah, that makes sense. Or the other thing...
