Happy birthday, Ailleann!
I've rarely thought there was enough humor in HR e-mails. Humor is what makes dry or depressing information a little easier to take.
Why couldn't you be dealing drugs like normal people?

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I didn't get yelled at by my bosses, because I give really good email, but I had to gather the orders for our region and send them to National's admin. So, I put "Southern Region Supply Orders." in the subject line, attached the orders and put EOM in the body.
Woman replied back "WHAT!?!?! What is this? Where's the message!?!" CCed to freaking everybody. Boss just walked in, rolled her eyes and walked out.

I mean, seriously. "Too humorous" and "too informative" are both too vague and nonsensical for anyone to be in trouble over without a specific employee handbook passage you can point to that says "You are allowed to use this much humor and no more," or "You are only allowed to send out X much information, every Z days, or you're being too informative and emailing too frequently."

Jilli, if you want, I stumbled across a pattern for a bustle skirt. It's not, strictly, a bustle, but it might be modify-able to something you like.

Mostly lurking...
Feature Films for Families [link] just got to feel my wrath. It should not take 4 minutes and 33 seconds for them to get NO. I try not to be rude, and I do to a certain extent believe in their cause, but when I say NO, I mean no. When I say it twice, I mean NO. When I say it three times, I mean NO. And when I have to say it a fourth time, I ask for your supervisor.

Oooh, that looks very interesting! Thank you for the link.
So, the PrezzieFairy stopped by today. Thanks to a friend cleaning out some boxes, I now have a new (to me) pair of Fluevogs, a bottle of Lump of Coal by BPAL, and a white feather boa.

Carroty update:
The short version is he was up here for something else, I finagled a way to talk to him and gave him my cell phone number.
And flirted becuase I can't be obvious in front of a couple of people and now I'm sure it's going to be all over the office. But I don't care.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I imagine you've seen this already PC, [link]
I saw that one of the graduate winners was from Ann Arbor. Were you in the same program, or another?
I hadn't seen that. And, no, I don't know that person. I was in pharmacology, not public health.
JZ, sorry about the job!
Awww. It's like you're the Tim Minear of academia.
Heeee!!
Happy birthday, Ailleann!
