It's nice how I'm giving Sean advice while I'm reading Imperial Life in the Emerald City about Iraq. That's making my head 'splodey, too. I really should learn.
I get lots of enjoyment out of the WWN. I love the "50lb baby born" or "Baby born with 16 toes!" and the chronicles of Bat Boy.
Jilli, I don't know what you decided, but I adore that outfit. (Except, possibly, the rectangular panel on the front, which as Plei said might look strange depending on the figure of the woman wearing it.) It's gorgeous, and it should be yours!
What on earth are Chick Tracts? I've never heard of them. Do I want to know?
Also, it seems that I am gainfully employed as of a week from today. Wheee.
I so want to work for the Weekly World News. Just imagining their office gives me great joy. "Isn't it time for the Amazing Bat Boy to show up again?" "I think we sent him off to Iraq last time. Archives!"
edit: "It's my turn to wear the Alien costume for the election photograph!" "You're too fat! It's my turn!"
I so want to work for the Weekly World News.
Still one of my dream jobs.
Ah. Thanks, DJ! I was imagining "Chick" as in "chicks" (like chick lit, or hot chicks) so I was a little confused.
PMS is evil. I am having a really nice day. I had a great lunch from an Italian deli, and then hung out at Mom's school and saw all the cutie pie kidlets. So, why am I now curled up on my childhood bed exhausted and wanting to weep for no particular reason?
Chick Tracts are FUN!
And Amy, I had the same thought the first time I heard of them, too.
Sean! Did you read the one about Bad Bob?
I'm about to go have a Big Conversation with one of my Big Bosses. I've been asked if I would be willing to teach a fifth class next year (the normal load is four). At first I laughed maniacally (to myself) and said no. Then I was told that I would be paid for it. Well.
I'm about to go talk to Big Boss and find out just how much money we're talking.
There are huge pros and cons to this possibility, and I'm nervous about standing my ground and avoiding getting taken advantage of. Negotiating ~ma would be appreciated.
