Oh good, I am all caught up then.

My other tiny people are knocking the awesome out of the park, too, so I'm scrambling to keep up.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Congrats, Dana!

We have it as an ethnicity which causes a whole nother problem because the government says Hispanic is white, and some of our Mexican-American clients disagree.

Um....there are SO hispanics of other races? What?

Though on our forms at work, we collect race and ethnicity separately, and have occasionally had a hard time explaining the whole "check a box for race, THEN a box for hispanic/not hispanic" and people are all "But if I'm hispanic, what do I put?"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'll be working for a consulting company that does a lot of documentation work for big companies. Hopefully it'll have the stability of a big corporate job without some of the headaches.

And on this first contract I'm doing, I think I'm going to get an office to myself. Okay, technically, it's a file room, but still.

Wow, I'm going to have to go to my old job and clear out my desk.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

lately, I've seen a lot of forms that say "are you hispanic/latino? check here" and then a separate section for "race"

Which is what we have and the goverment says (or at least it will throw an alert on the case) if Hispanic is checked, white must also be checked and we have clients who are Hispanic and not white-though we do have many who are.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

YAY Dana!

But it's mostly about boys doing delightfully inappropriate things with their tongues in public.

Seriously.
