And people who were in 3rd grade in 1980, when they told us we were going metric in 2 years!

Yeah, those little plastic baggies are used for many more things than drugs! I think that's just silly. I can see wanting places to not help the drug trade, but you can't just ban SOME places from selling them and being OK with the drycleaner and bead store having them...and banning them altogether is ridic.
Phone interview finally happened, don't think it went great, had forgotten how damn draining an hour on the phone trying to think on your feet was. BLEHA.

If they make little plastic baggies illegal, only criminals will have them.
I use like a hundred of those a week in work. Plus gelatin capsules. It has been pointed out to me that I could easily run a drugs lab out of my office.

I really people would cancel meetings instead of just not show up en masse. Saves effort for those who can be arsed to actually show.

Oh thank God - a signage repair issue that I thought was going to be hanging over me like a cloud of doom for the next week and a half looks to be resolved with a minimum of fuss and pain.
I've gotten almost nothing done on stuff I'd originally intended to do today, but made enough headway on other tasks that I feel fairly productive.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Congrats Plei! I'm verra jealous.
Okay that tommyrot link? I am seriously going to just repress it. I'll sleep better that way.
Ugh. It's been my office hours week. I feel wrung dry right now. Forget the muffin, I need a drink.

Damn. I guess it's technically worksafe. But sensuous.
I am so in love with that woman's creativity. I want to marry it and have its babies.
I will console myself with a wheatfree lemon shortbread cookie.
