Refuse, Jesse! Stay strong!

Or change it and hope your big boss doesn't notice?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Phew -- I did stay strong and she signed off on "Susan and me."

My question for the day:

Using a handwipe to sanitize grocery cart handles is a) sensible, or b) yuppie affectation?

(Assuming, of course, that you have no sort of health reason to do so.)

Since I have only seen this phenomenon at Whole Foods, I'm going to go with (b). I do wish they had more santize-y things around the raw chicken though.

I'd say b, unless your sanitizing it for a kid sitting in the front of the cart.

So the preliminary tests indicate Devi might be hyperthyroid, and I okayed them running a further test.

Jeezlouise. Can one of my cats not have a chronic condition? Is that a lot to ask?

I vote c) bad, because it causes the superbugs or whatever!

Heh. Speaking of grammar police, one of our designers just sent the following out to our whole department:

Some of you have heard me argue against the use of two spaces between sentences, and endured my grousing about "old typewriter habits" and my mumblings of the words "mono-spacing" and "proportional."

along with a PDF of a few pages from a book called "The Mac is Not a Typewriter."

Our Trader Joes has sanitizing wipes available. I'd use them if it didn't create more landfill-filler. But after grocery shopping (and after getting on and off the Metro, etc.) I do try to wash my hands.

I don't think of myself as germ phobic, but now I probably seem like I am to all of you. Eh.

No, I'm honestly curious. I saw this woman at the Kroger doing it yesterday, which means she had to bring her own handwipes.
