Aimee! From tommyrot's link [link] We need this shirt!
Natter 54: Right here, dammit.
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.
I can't believe that I am going to say this, but I can't wait to go to the Chiropractor again this afternoon.
Kat, that batty costume is adorable. I am tempted to buy one just to have on hand for any infants I know.
My favorite letter to Dear Abby was the woman who wanted people to know that you should divide your spoons in the dishwasher basket, because when they nestle together, they don't get as clean. REALLY?! You don't say!
You would think this would be obvious, yet it continually eludes my roommate. It takes about 30 seconds to check the arrangement of the silverware before you close up the dishwasher to turn it on....
I just found out a meeting I thought was at 3 is at 3:30. So now I can waste this half an hour, I guess.
Turns out, my boss's assistant's grandfather just died, so she's been a little out of it for a while now, and is going to take some time for the funeral, etc. Which there's nothing you can do about, but it does make the rest of our lives a little bit harder. AND another coworker's husband died suddenly last night. Ugh. So sad.
My boss just gave me my 15th anniversary gift package and certificate a month early since she's had it for a few weeks and isn't always here at this office--today's the first time I've seen her in about a month!
The catalog has a decent selection of possible gifts, ranging from clocks and golf clubs to very nice jewelry and electronics, but I think I'll get the flatware, which is an acceptably attractive pattern and something I desperately need anyway (along with dishes, something I'll probably pick up next year after getting the rest of the things on my list of "Things To Replace ASAP").
I really like Dear Abby and read her everyday. She's being honored by PFLAG this week. [link]
Congrats, Kathy!
Ugh. So sad.
On the 'probably not so sad' side, we are in the midst of midterm exams, so we are experiencing the usual mysterious epidemic of grandparent deaths. Two pre-exam grandparent deaths in my one class of 80 students this week, so the students had to delay taking the exam. Students take thirty-five classes to graduate, so, statistically speaking, it's suprising that ANY grandparents survive their grandkids college education at all.
Buffistas, do you love your parents? Then for God's sake don't let your children go to college.
