You can see what I wear to work many days here [link] (follow The Working Closet pool link for me and some other people, some of whom I know and others of whom I don't know at all). I forgot my camera today; the pic linked is yesterday. It's rilly fun. If you're a dork like me.

Also a phone pet peeve, but specifically for my boss. She answers the telephone (the business line) with "Hello". Even if she is answering our department's main line. It is very strange and I can tell people get confused because she then has to explain to the m who she is and where she works.

ETA: I think my cold is making me full of vitriol today!

Why do people dial the phone and listen to the phone ring on speakerphone, and then pick it up when they get the person.

I do this. I think it's it's just slightly less awkward, and allows you to concentrate on the dialing while not cradling the phone.

Okay, that's annoying.

Happy birthday SuperMom msbelle!

Cardigans have their place! Gothlolitas wear them, no?

Yes, they do. That doesn't mean I will wear one, except around the house (with bloomers and a GCS or MCR baby tee) when it is very cold and I have to do chores.

Of course, right now I'm wearing pajamas with pink and black skulls on them, and a blue fuzzy robe with a skull on it, because I have the Plague or something, and have stayed home from work.

Allyson! I completely spaced on telling you this earlier: while we were at DisneyWorld, we went to the "Downtown Disney" shopping area and went into Virgin Records. A stack of your book was displayed on a center table with a bunch of other pop-culture reading material. I took pictures, and I'll get them uploaded soon.

Shrift should wear what she would have worn to Club Vivid for the wedding. That should shake them up.

shrift, if you *don't* end up being a bridesmaid, let me know if you want me to do long-distance wardrobe consultation for you. I'm sure I have pretty dresses I could mail out to you.

flea, that's cool! And I like that outfit. I'd be scared to see what I really look like every day.

Does the 30 second you can spend without holding the phone really matter?

Dude, it matters so much! OK, not really. But I agree with bon that it makes the whole thing more one-handed. Or something.

But I was so burned by the Aerosoles when I tried to order boots a few weeks ago. They claimed to be available on their website but they really weren't. So they ended up canceling both orders.

Now I'm scared.

She answers the telephone (the business line) with "Hello".

So annoying! I just called a guy who answered with only his first name, which, I was like, WTF, but then he said he was in a meeting, so I'm going to assume he assumed I was related to the meeting.

Shrift should wear what she would have worn to Club Vivid for the wedding.

I don't think my family needs to see that much of my cleavage.

Awesome!

Holy cow, Jilli! That's crazy!

Crazier is how little I've completed of the next book. And how bad it is. Gotta get through the rust. Maybe send for beta, sometimes it helps me figure out where I'm stuck.
