Shit's all sorts of different now.

The first part is just reidentifying myself with the name change.

The second part is beautiful word salad I threw together in Bitches a couple of weeks ago trying to post about an odd dream I had. No coffee had been consumed.

Because the old place is jealous and slightly psycho.

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

So apparently it's "elitist" to be a member of the reality-based community?

The Pastor Ray Mummert award goes to…

…Republican Representative John Duncan of Tennessee. Confronted with a vast amount of evidence provided by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Public Health Association, the US Institute of Medicine , the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the American Psychological Association that abstinence-only education does not work, does not reduce the incidence of either teen pregnancies or sexually transmitted disease, and that it is a waste of money, the honorable Mr Duncan declared his complete disinterest in data and expertise.

Rep. John Duncan, a Tennessee Republican, said that it seems "rather elitist" that people with academic degrees in health think they know better than parents what type of sex education is appropriate. "I don't think it's something we should abandon," he said of abstinence-only funding.

Nobody is advocating an abandonment of the idea of encouraging abstinence; they're saying that abstinence-only is a failure, and we should be encouraging dissemination of more information. I know, that's terribly elitist — how dare we oppose some parents' desire to keep their children ignorant and stupid.

Attention, work rant ahead:

I really hate being told something is required at the last minute!

A couple of weeks ago I was asked if I would be interested in training for one of our databases. Since I have written basic databases in the past, and generally can figure these things out for myself, I said I would be only if it was on site. I specifically said I was not interested in long-distance WebX training.

Fast forward to today when I am told (as the WebX meeting is starting) that they are waiting for me and that this is required. So I just spent an hour with my phone to my ear watching this demo for a system that most people here could figure out in 2 minutes. Le sigh.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Dear DH,
I appreciate that you don't feel well and may be developing allergies. But I've been handling kids non-stop for two whole days now and we're leaving you here by your lonesome this weekend.

So you can play Civilization while watching PTI in you underwear for three days.

But until we pull out of the driveway, takes some Claritin, suck it up and help me.
Thanks and Love you,
Me
