Why why why do I still think, "ah, cigarettes..."?
Because smoking is cool.
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I went to Whole Foods at lunch - MADHOUSE. At least I was just buying fish, not actually trying to get lunch there.
I have kind of been eating all morning - 9:30 oatmeal, 11:00 half of yogurt, 1:00 avocado half wrap and smoked salmon half wrap, now rest of yogurt.
I still have a chicken breast with salsa and an apple to go while at work.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Only 50% of users are between 18 and 49 -- which means a large chunk of the under-18 set is picking up lolspeak when they should be learning English.
Have they thought that maybe a lot of the other 50% are people over 49? Hmmm?
And if they're all concerned over the future of the English language, they should be reminded that the ubiquitous "O.K." is from a brief fad of language mauling back in the 1830s, when newspaper columnists decided to use acronyms for cutesy hick sayings/spellings that they'd make up. "O.K." was short for "Oll Korrect," a spelling that nobody, including hicks, would use, but the elitists thought it was hilariously rube-ish.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I think you actually have to have a decent grasp of English to write a good LOLcat. That's why they're funny.

Flash has disappeared from my work PC's Firefox, thus rendering Scrabulous unplayable!
Oh no!!
Quick, find some legitimate work site you need that requires Flash and tell them to reinstall!

Ugh -- one of my top candidates for the job I'm trying to fill just let me know she has another offer, and they want an answer this week. I have to do a second round of interviews with higher-ups, so I totally can't give her an answer any time soon. I bet she takes the other job. Bah!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Aww, that sucks, Jesse. Is it that you need the candidates to come back in for a second round?
If it's totally impossible, I say tell her she was one of your top picks, but that you understand--that would've made me feel kick-ass, as an interviewee.
Random note: it has not rained here in a while, and has been lovely. So why, on the day that I"m going to get my haircut and wanted to talk to the stylist about blowing it out straight and how that looks etc, does it rain, so there's no chance of my hair behaving? GRRRR.

I threw together the assiest document ever (it started out as notes and then kinda evolved and I have no graphics skills to speak of and even fewer in word and I could've done a more professional job in CRAYON AND FINGERPAINTS ON A ROLL OF NEWSPRINT forgodssake) and it just got circulated to the group.
Sigh.
And did I mention I'm really busy?
