yes, it is who you think it is!

The techy/geeky/fx-folk cabal is growing. More arcane things to eavesdrop on.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Best. Picture. Ever.

Heh, it's Extreme Stuff on My Cat. Without the cat.

But with the cat owner!

oh man. I have a boatload of things to do.

ita, I had to get a physical when I started at the district. AND I have to have my TB test updated every 4 years or something. Which means I have to go to the central office and let them inject me with something then go back and have it read. It makes me twitchy.

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

I've probably told this story before, but in college this kid showed up to our house party, was extremely obnoxious, and then passed out on the comfy chair at 9:45. So yes, he did get stuff stacked on him.

My only contribution was pointing out where the food coloring was....

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Can I say I'm a bit creeped out at the Orwellian level of testing y'all go through for your jobs?! Weird. I had to show somebody a passport to prove I was me, that was about it.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

There's also this one: [link]

Yeah, I've never had to be tested OR fingerprinted.

I had to be fingerprinted for work at some point. Oh & I had to prove I was either a citizen or legally in the country recently. That made me roll my eyes, cause it is only that I've been working for them for TEN YEARS.

OTOH, the company does a lot of defense or similarly sensitive contracts, so my guess is that they required it of everyone because they couldn't figure out how to do just the sensitive types. Which I'm not, really. There are things that might bring the wrath of the gov't down on me & my employer, but they wouldn't rate a congressional hearing or anything.

That one seems to me the dude could roll over, fall and break his neck....

my new job will be the first one where I have to get drug tested.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I love the idea of a baby food tasting room, even if it does sound a bit messy. I wonder if they just line the walls and floor with plastic so they can hose everything down after each session.

(Yesterday I discovered that the One True Way to get Dylan's face clean after eating solids is to let him do it. Me wiping his face and hands with a wet washcloth = torture. Him chewing on a wet washcloth and in the process wiping his face and hands clean = playtime!)
