Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

I hate FedEx. They keep insisting a postal code in India doesn't exist. Despite the fact that it's listed on the city's municipal site. And they won't even consider they might be wrong.

They did this to me over a medium sized city in the Ukraine once.

I hate them.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Tom Waits wrote "Chocolate Jesus" after his FiL (no lie) decided to sell religious themed breath mints. They were called Sacra-mints.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Nuh-uh. They were called Testa-mints.

IIRC.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

ooh ... sarameg, they did that to me once for an address in Canada. I just about went crazy. And this was AFTER I'd wrestled with their import/export documents. I was about to hand-carry a package up there.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Fedex is not good with international shipping. I've found DHL to be much more reliable, except no US companies have DHL accounts.

What is even happening?

I think the chocolate Jesus statue is offensive (in a petty way, and not because he's nude -- because Jesus probably was nude on the cross) and I don't think it's at all comparable to communion, and rolled my eyes a little at that comparison. But I also think this is a tempest in a teapot. I hope I wouldn't do/haven't done anything that tacky, petty, or disrespectful of another religion, but a lot of people do a lot of things I don't do. I'm glad both that they're free to do things that don't hurt anyone (and this doesn't -- it's just tacky-petty), and that when they do them it isn't an invitation to violence. Art I find icky is not persecution.

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

Breakfast this morning was asparagus and swiss omelet.

That sounds astoundingly good. More appealing than chocolate Jesus, at the moment.

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

so, the two online apps I use to do the core of my job are down. I am about to start typing in meeting notes from a spiral notebook just to keep busy.

Yeah, unfortunately, I dunno if we are allowed to use DHL. We used to, but I haven't seen one of their guys here in ages.
