Hey, Kat, can I cut the security tag out of this black and white wrap Ann Taylor Loft dress?

Seriously, after looking at those pictures, I still want nasty fast food.

That was totally anti-climactic -- she just said that our boss is still trying to figure out her health issues, and in the meantime we should feel free to bring stuff to Big Boss and Slightly Less Big Boss if we need anything.

Hey, Kat, can I cut the security tag out of this black and white wrap Ann Taylor Loft dress?

absolutely! HA that I left it in.

Apparently, I am expected at school tomorrow to teach. Um. No. I called the Admin Asst who is in charge of all of this stuff and told her that I don't have clearance from my doctor for the next two weeks. That put an end to it. Because I can't go back to work without a doctor's note.

Pictures of fast food - ads vs reality.

in all fairness, the article said that they were taken home and photographed immediately. That means that they were all wrapped up (meaning smooshed bread at least) and at least 10-15 minutes old. no wonder they didnt' hold up to the pictures. Although, you can totally see that the tomatoes were photoshopped red in that burger king ad.

Because I can't go back to work without a doctor's note.

Well, you CAN, but only if you have a job that lets you work half-days from home in your jammies and you gain 12 billion brownie points by doing so.

Sincerely,
Hope To Get a Big Raise Next Month

Yah. Generally speaking, Big Macs and most chicken and fish sandwiches from anywhere look decent when they're freshly made. Those salads took a beating though, and the KFC famous bowl was just as disgusting as I imagined it'd be.

Subway sandwiches always look like crap to me even as they're being made, but that doesn't stop me from occasionally eating a meatball sub.

Nah, Robin. You can.

I can't. I work in a bureacracy par excellance.

The review on the KFC bowl is pretty funny, especially the bit about the dog. And it still sounds delish. "Ewww, the cheese melted" doesn't really strike me as that profound a (visual) critique.

That taco bell shit looked gross, though.

Seattle, WA (KIRO-TV) - The Washington State Patrol says 54-year-old Deana Jarrett was arrested Thursday afternoon for being an imminent threat to public safety after she was arrested with a blood-alcohol level of .47 last week.

...

Washington State Patrol troopers said Jarrett could barely stand and fell asleep during sobriety tests. They said at .47, her blood alcohol level was six times the legal limit. Police and medical officials said that a level above .40 is potentially lethal.

Um... this is just bizarre. Should a nine-year old have known better? I dunno - some people (even adults) are just clueless that animals can be dangerous....

A schoolboy who climbed over a fence into a crocodile enclosure and taunted the animals with sticks and a catapult was dragged into the water and eaten.

The nine-year-old, whose family name was given as Liu, and three friends sneaked into the crocodile park at the Silver Beach holiday resort at Beihai in the southwestern Guangxi region on Friday.

The children shot at the animals with catapults and beat them with sticks.

The official Xinhua news agency said: “One of the irritated crocodiles bit Liu’s clothes and dragged him into the water where he was eaten by a swarm of crocodiles.” His companions then raised the alarm.

Investigators searched for the missing boy and decided to check inside the crocodiles. Snipers used pork to lure them out of their pool and shot dead the first animal to lumber on to the bank.

Inside it they found human remains that were confirmed to be those of the boy.
