Thanks, Cashmere! I'll have to stop by and pick one up, because that kitchen towel thing was a real pain in the neck.
Natter 53: We could just avoid making tortured puns
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.
Reason 45 brazilion why I hate people sometimes:
Someone from the NY office called at 5:05, asking if I could help him with stuff "that he didn't think would take that long". The stuff? Find out the date 4 cases regarding tender offers were filed, and for those 4 tender offers, were the prices of the tender offer ever raised, and were there ever any other offers made from other companies, and oh yeah, all of these things happened in 1987 or 1988. That shouldn't be a problem, should it?
I' managed to laugh at him, which I think is a giant ass gold star for me.
Damn right it is.
Seriously.
He seemed so confused about why it might take more than an hour, even after I told him none of what he wanted was available online.

Laughing is better than reaching through the phone lines and punching him in the throat.
I'm catching up on Mad Men. I swear, I can feel myself getting lung cancer just watching this show.
Yeah, I know. And sometimes I wonder why I like to watch it anyway since I only like these people for seconds at a time and usually I need at least one hero in my shows. But it's interesting. and the production design department rules. What's the deal with the fifties and having a gold tree on your wall? I've seen it in actual fifties films so I know someone really did it. Why?

I went with option three- let the library bosses deal with it on Monday. My reach isn't what it used to be.

Oh, yeah! The look is incredible. My parents got married in 1960--I think they had a gold wall tree.

Good option.
We had the flying geese formation on our wall. Another variation on that theme. It went well into the sixties.

Right? Fortunately every time I worry about the actors I remind myself they're all smoking stage prop cigs (union rules for the crew).
You don't like Don Draper, erika? I think we're about to see his tortured war experiences soon.
Sometimes. Sometimes I think he ignores his children by working too much. Sometimes I think the stuff they do at work is disgusting. But sometimes I feel for the guy. Like he wakes up and thinks "How did I get here? One minute I had a summer job and kissed the homecoming queen, and now I'm like this...Dad and stuff. Yikes." I liked him for attempting to give the Scion the boot in this last ep, though. VK had it coming.
