'Shindig'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think me and the clicky fire sticks should visit msbelle's office when no one is there.
Now there's an idea.
Library Boot Camp! Something about this just tickles me, although I bet it's less ... ticklish when you're actually there. Still, all kinds of acceptance~ma for you, Kathy!
Also, one of my people gave notice yesterday while I was out. Can't blame him, but seriously... ugh. There is no immediate plan to replace him either which I find so annoying.
That is terrible.
I can't actually go home yet. Stupid work. Stupid my-lack-of-planning-well-enough. Stupid everything.
I went to take a drug test. Exciting. It's been a while since people jumped through that many hoops to assume I was a criminal.

Good luck juliana and Kathy!
Today is so weird.
I concur.
ugh, msbelle, no wonder you're unmotivated.
I am brain dead, that's kind of like being unmotivated.
Corwood, I hate to say it, but that seems unbelievable to me. Like someone here created the labels deliberately to cause a stir.
[okay not *here* as in b.org, but *here* as in someone involved in the story]
Huh. See, I would actually believe that it was mistranslated into English from Chinese. Though you'd think the guy ordering would have spoken up.
It's been a while since people jumped through that many hoops to assume I was a criminal.
If you develop high blood pressure for no immediately obvious reason, you'll also have the pleasure of every hospital employee assuming that you're on meth. And then you'll get to take another drug test on the spot to prove that you're not actually a drug addict. It's fun!
sometimes, people use racially insensitive language without really parsing it, like the time I was talking to a very nice girl about bargaining at a flea market and she said "I jewed him down to $5" I couldn't hide the look of horror on my face, and she said "what?" I pointed it out to her and she was truly shocked. She had never really thought about its origin, and that's just what her family said. This also happens in foreign countries where they don't realize the connotations of certain words.
Oh hey, NPR just mentioned FNL again at the beginning of a story on steroids. At first I was all excited, thinking they were going to do another story on it, but no.
