Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

All I can do is be more explicit for next time, right? I hate telling people what to wear.

It sounds like she grokked the instructions she got from the boss (or she wouldn't be asking at all), but didn't have an actual sense of the target to aim for. Be more clear, but maybe also ask the boss to try to do the same?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, she's new to this job, and to office jobs in general, so I think she's having trouble figuring out what we mean AND she doesn't have a huge wardrobe to pick from. These are the things I never think about, but need to!

Of course, it's also part of the problem with the loosey-goosey nature of women's work clothes. If we were guys, I think it would be more clear: broadcloth shirt instead of t-shirt, or shirt and tie instead of just shirt, or whatever.

“Not dead yet!”

I also didn't realize that sugar cream pie is so easy but rare. It's apparently an old, regional recipe in Indiana.

It's like chess pie, isn't it, Cash? And mmmm... pie.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I wish I would tell my co-workers that their boobs are not work appropriate. Seriously, put those things away. And I have gib enough boobs that even a normal V-neck gives me cleavage, but I wear a scarf or camisole. The worst offenders are the two women who do patient reception, but their bosses seem to have no issue with it, so I just shut up.

Hahaha! That would be hilarious.

Oh man, I'm always flashing people in my office. Mostly when they're on the phone to important people. My bad.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Barb, it's almost like it. Sugar cream doesn't use eggs and is pretty sweet so it's the same idea. I use to like it but my sweet tooth has gotten sweeter and it's pretty awesome now. DH (who isn't a sweets person) is mad for it, which is why I tried my hand at it.

It's nigh-impossible to find around here. But I think if we went somewhere with a significant Amish population, we'd be able to find it.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

And I've been saying "WTF?!" for almost eight years now. So. I'd like to stop.

Yeah, I hear that.

ita- oh, man. I hope you heal up fast. Maybe the fall knocked the migraines out of your head... well, one can hope for a silver lining.

Coding and Sleeping

Saw both the video (mostly I rolled my eyes - it was kinda inevitiable we'd get a piece of propaganda like that, I thought)

But....but.... the Iranian Hostage Crisis isn't linked to Al-Qaeda. It was people angry over U.S. support for the Shah, it wasn't Sunni extremists. I though exploiting 9/11 again was a bit crass, but I guess it's what they do.

Pshaw-- you're talking about mere details which matter not one whit. They're bargaining on the majority of people not recalling that. In fact, I'll lay money there are a lot of people who probably had no clue or had totally forgotten about the Iranian Hostage Crisis.
