Vortex, that amount works for me.
ita, great '50s vibe in that picture.
Stephanie, as far as I'm concerned you have nothing to feel guilty about. Unless you refuse to help co-workers when asked.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

Since Nutty is a sensible sort, I'm figuring she'd be wearing the bear-proof armour that that Canadian inventor came up with.
Doesn't that kinda diminish the imressiveness of going mano-y-mano (or Nutty-y-cheetah) on a squash court?

Trust my rage
I've always struggled (if that's the right word) with being the first or second one done with a test. I feel so awkward leaving first. I guess I shouldn't feel guilty. Being good shouldn't be bad.
ION, a reporter just called me and wanted to interview me. He was speaking so fast (in Spanish) that it took me three times to get what he was saying. I politely declined his offer. What the heck would I have said, anyway? Sounds like a good way to get in trouble if you ask me.

Compassionately intolerant
I hate workplaces where being good at your job makes people think you are a tool. It is not my fault I am smarter than you dumbasses!
THIS!
Contributing to mediocrity is nobody's friend.
Vortex, that seems a perfect amount.
ita, whoa. That is a great look for you!

ita, that outfit is great - and Fred Pete's right, it does have kind of a '50s vibe ... except with sexy.
Stephanie, you can play here, cut your productivity, make yourself and your cow-irkers (and us!) happy (I just saw "Hot Fuzz" and I'm wondering if they're thinking of exiling you to rural ... someplace).
Vortex, that amount sounds good ... but I've been out of high school so long, I have no idea what an appropriate gift is. I would suggest adding something personal - maybe a note or if you know this cousin well enough, a little something they'd like.
And consider me to be doing the dance of happy-A/C-having - got my first good night's sleep for almost a week last night. I'm a little groggy, but much happier.

Vortex, $50 is my amount for graduations, which I was planning to do for my cousin until my sister and I (my sister is closer to this cousin) figured out a good gift to split the cost on.
ita, what an excellent outfit. You look so beautiful in that picture.

Maybe $50 in cash (well,a check) and a starbucks gift card? Hmmm.
ION, a way to get rid of the books you don't want and get some that you do: BookMooch
How it works:
1. Type in the books you want to give away
2. Recieve requests from others for your books
3. Mail your books and receive points
4. Ask for books from others for your points.

Nice look with the corset, ita!
I think two of my co-workers are going to come to blows over whose project I work on first. See people, this is why I had a (shared) assistant for 18 months to help with the workload.

I cannot be the only one who immediately thought of Nutty, a cheetah, and a squash court.
You think I am not lurky, although I have been all over hell and creation (okay, Wisconsin) this weekend. You are wrong.
Clearly, since I allotted myself Docs, I am not in this battle wearing just Docs and underpants. One puts one's pants on before one's shoes, you know!
