Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Of course, it's always the kids who are dead certain they're never going to work in an office -- they're too smart and creative, you see.
Ahahahahahaha, oh god.
Maybe I should tour the country as a cautionary tale to these smart, creative youngsters. Don't let this happen to you.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
At new work. No network login, no e-mail, no access to training course. No real idea what to do with my time.
Bad desk, set up so pretty much everyone can see my screen. But lovely view out the window full of trees and squirrels. It doesn't look urban at all, and we're right off a major freeway.

Hey, P-C and other medical types...
Is it possible for someone to be HIV+ for 6 years but still test negative on a garden-variety HIV test? Also, could said person have three children and none of them, nor her husband, be HIV+?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Happy first day of new job Dana! I hope they get you access to stuff soon.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Hayden Panettiere's dress seems...well, she's just so cheerful. I think that alone should get her off a worst-dressed list. It's a horrible dress, though.
I think it's only horrible in stills. She was so happy wearing it last night that she made it work.

I don't think hers was any worse than Kristen Bell's. I don't understand the trend of putting tiny, tiny, people in large shapeless wads of cloth. Kids today!
Of course, I also don't understand all these young men on the bus buckling their pants UNDER their butt-cheeks. Not low on the hips, but actually so that the waistband goes where I would think their penis would be, and the crotch is at their knees, and they look like they have tiny, tiny cartoon legs! It is very strange.

Stephanie, I can't speak to the test results, but my impression is female-to-male vaginal intercourse transmission of HIV is actually pretty rare; there's a 25% chance of transmitting the virus to a child during birth, assuming there is no treatment. If HIV status is known, they give drugs and do a C-section and the risk is very low. (This is Wikipedia talking).
