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.
90% of the time, I don't slack when I actually have work to do. I just hurry up and get the work done so I can slack off again.
I tend to constantly flip between work and reading blogs and b.org.
Alt-Tab is my friend.
I work for 15 minute, slack for 5 all day long. I sometimes suspect I have adult ADHD.
I am Sophia.
I'm slacking right now, AIFG!!
I just want to point out a local news item from the dept of signs and portents, positive division: a Texas state representive from Grand Prairie announced today that he's switching parties from Republican to Democrat because the Republican leadership has grown so far away from his values. It's a little thing, I know, but it seems major that a Texas Republican is switching sides because of his values.
I am eating the best trail mix in the WORLD! Trader Joe's Simply Cranberries Almonds & Cashews + extra cashews + TJ's chocolate-covered sunflower seeds. It is Teh NUMMY.

Yeah. The Texas State GOP has one of the furthest right-wing agendas out there. [link]
Tax Cuts, p. 17 - "The Party urges the IRS be abolished," and the following taxes eliminated: "income tax, inheritance tax, gift tax, capital gains, corporate income tax, payroll tax and property tax."
On p.8, Free Exercise of Religion: "Our party pledges to exert its influence to ... dispel the "myth" of the separation of church and state."
p.8, Christian Nation: "The Republican Party of Texas affirms the United States of America is a Christian Nation ..."
p.2 #10: "We oppose conservation easements on our natural resources administered by organizations unaccountable to tax payers and voters." (That means land trusts and conservation groups would be declared unconstitutional.)
