Awesome and pretty lamp: [link]
This intreging piece of design is sure to attract the right kind of attention in your home. Cleverly designed to look like a normal table lamp through flat images on sheets of glass which layer up to form a 3D image. The light seems to radiate out from inside as if it were a normal lamp, but move to its side and you can see that it is nothing but sheets of glass! This piece of contemporary furniture could almost be classified as a modern work of art, but however you see it, it will certainly add a touch of class to your home. An interesting design concept which also looks stunning!

His has the highest bid at the moment.
One would hope that she's only considering herself lucky not to have been hurt or killed, not that she's thinking what a big boost to her career being there is while witnessing dead children being carried out of a school reduced to rubble.
Yes, of course, reporters routinely wish for disaster to occur directly under their feet so that they can have the joy of reporting it. Why does that need clarification at all?
Like worlds crossing.
I also end up feeling that way when I hear print reporters on the radio (I don't watch much tv news.) Most of those I recognize are ones that write for the Monitor.
Why has our irritating new receptionist chosen to turn up her radio today? I swear to god, she's just inventing new ways to piss me off each week.

In some of the pictures they're wearing clothes!
The owner says: "Tamanduas are very smart. They know how to open the fridge, open the doors... they know how to open the window, open drawers, open cabinets, open containers, climb the door frame, and respond to their name."
"The dogs are scared of their long tails; and some tamanduas may use their long claws on almost anything, including your furniture. They like to tear things up when given the chance like coconuts and logs"
radios in the workplace are a puzzlement to me. Unless you are alone in a place, or have a job where wearing headphones is possible, I do not understand how it is acceptable.
I doubt she even asked. It's fine when she's in the accounting office, because then it can't really be heard. But now, today, randomly, semi-loud radio at her desk.
When I was a receptionist, I couldn't have music.
I really need to get some work done, but I have been lazy, lazy, lazy. I think it is a reaction to losing my boss, but it still is going to bite me in the ass.
Also, I have this weird thing where I can't listen to music and work-- I mean, I can listen to music and do more physical work, like sewing or stuffing envelopes, but I literally cannot concentrate on anything when listening to music. I like to sing along, follow the music, think about the song. it is like music takes up my whole brain. The weirdest thing is that i CAN listen to people talking and work with no problem. So I can listen to NPR, or podcasts or even my soap opera and be very productive, but people seem to think I am goofing off more than people who are listening to music. There is something about words that I find soothing, though.

This does not sound like an ideal pet to me!
