Just did a impulse google and discovered that a woman who was a tremendous and massive and illegal bitch to me was awarded a non-inconsiderable humanitarian award last week.

The most notoriously hard to work for person in this office runs our very successful pro bono program. Some people... compensate.

What was that site with the ten dollar surprise?

I want to get myself a surprise. I bought myself roses yesterday, and put a sparkly flower in my hair today to make myself feel better. But I think I need to add a bar of Rock Star from Lush and a surprise to my self-cheering list.

Surprise yourself. I'd do that for me, but then I'd hate it, and it would just mean I'd have to cut a bitch.

It's possible I'm pre-loading events with meaning.

Yeah. I need to forward that link to family, though. There will be muttering and grumbling.

Is it the kind of award you buy your way into? Not to be overly cynical, or reveal too much, but most nonprofits I know give awards to people who are willing to raise or give large sums. Oh, and they're reasonably eligible for the award.

Timelies all!

Need to pack for Balticon tonight. Took tomorrow off, so we can head up to the hotel early. (Also G has to pick up the musical guests from the airport at 2.)

I don't think she could give, but I'm sure she'd raise. That's her gig. It's not that she's nice or that she cares. It's that she likes loves adores needs to be seen giving. And then have a dozen pictures taken of her being hugged by people who look almost familiar and she just looks...well, like she washes her face in evil juice in the morning.

Did I type that in my outside font? Oops.

Oh, sure. One of those. We don't mind those so much, as long as they actually bring in the bucks. You'd be surprised (or maybe not) how many don't.

At least I know who to blame now.

No need to blame! But you can also disregard many "awards."

I am reminded for some reason of my college philosophy professor who thought Mother Theresa was the worst person in the world, since he thought she was helping the poor for the glory of it, not just because she actually wanted to help. My view? She's still helping!

But you can also disregard many "awards."

See, but, her award means that she's better than me, and that what she tried to do to me was perfectly reasonable behaviour. She's been validated.

I was beginning to get pissed off at the co-worker spitting and swearing in Spanish ("punta madre!") but he's just switched to ("this is fucking insanity!") English so I don't have coyness to call him on anymore.

In a meeting Monday I almost swore in patois in an environment where no one would have known the difference, but when I realised it I could do nothing but blush, and hard.
