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.

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.

Happy Birthday, Ailleann!

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.

YAY new new things!

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.

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!

The other day, I got a call from a friend who's now living in Washington state. "Don't we have a good connection?" she said. Since we had had crappy connections recently, I enthusiastically agreed. "It almost sounds as if I were next door," she added, "BECAUSE I AM!" Which is a better excuse for me being behind than usual.

So I jumped out of bed, ran downstairs, ran outside and saved them all before the rain started falling. Funny thing is, I cared more about the books.

And this is a funny thing why? Of course you cared more about the books!!

Men are not fixer-uppers - they're pretty much as-is.

I always ascribed to this. Then, a friend told me how his wife had changed him by getting him to stop faking heart attacks. I bow before her, because I shudder to think what my reaction would be if he pulled that with me. Oy.

I didn't get juliana's old job. Notified by a computer-generated email. Bleah.

I was so hopeful, JZ. I'm really sorry it didn't work out.

And I know I missed a lot of other important stuff, so much punctuation and glitter all around.

Wow, talk about timing, PC.

And, for all those librarians out there, or any one who likes a librarian, or has ever used a library, you may have heard that The Hollywood Librarian is premiering at ALA, but did you know that there's a trailer out?! [link]
