After the "publically" discussion, I remembered another word that's been driving me nuts lately: cancellation. I use it a zillion times in the paper I'm writing. The spellcheck on WinEdit insists that "cancelation" is right and "cancellation" is wrong. I have no idea why. But I know that "cancellation" is right, but I can't stand having all those underlined "wrong" words on my screen.
Does anyone use cancelation? I first thought maybe 2 Ls was British and one L was American, since that's the way it is for "canceled," but it seems like no.
I bounce from one to the other. I like
cancellation
better, but sometimes it makes me self-conscious (I'm not even sure why).
Two ls, for me. I'm always unsure, though, because there seem to be a lot of words that I think should be two ls but are actually one.
Also vw and Nora are getting their hair cut this weekend.
Indeed. At this point Ima just gonna go in there and tell him to cut it all off but try to flatter my face shape. I don't even care anymore. I have no rules. I hate all this fucking hair.
ha! all this spelling stuff - makes it very clear that there is a reason I can't spell. It is clearly someone else's fault, not mine.
Big new as matt's soon to be ex- job. The CEOof the BigCompany was forced to resign. Matt thought the CEO of BigCompany had his head on straight , so this makes things very interesting
I'm so glad he's out of there, beth! He just has to muddle through tomorrow, right?
yup, but the official annoucement of him leaving went out today,( and therfore tons of people visted, called , etc) and there is stuff he is trying to finish before he leave, so he will be staying late tonight.
It figures. The assheads sent it out before he could quietly inform people he wanted to tell personally?
Actually, the harder part has been keeping it underwraps. I needed something from his HR for my new job , and I was talking to L, who is a friend , not just a co-worker. It was very obvious she had no idea Matt was leaving. It was odd. His team knew, and a few others that he works closely with. He is very well-liked and so many of them had to stop by.
Today's paper included a list of cocktails at local bars:
Bloody Brain
Get in touch with your inner zombie .... Bar manager crafts his version of the visually striking Bloody Brain. He layers peach schnapps, Baileys Irish Cream and a drizzle of grenadine in a shot glass. The grenadine somehow pulls the Baileys down, giving the illusion of a pinkish brain-like mass floating at the bottom of the glass.
1 oz. peach schnapps
1/2 oz. Baileys Irish Cream
Splash of grenadine
Pour each of the ingredients in order in a shot glass.
