I remember when you could tell by looking at someone -- if they were obviously foreign -- that they wouldn't speak good English. Now you can never tell.
I've got to say, playing "tourist/not a tourist" in midtown is fun -- at a glance I try and decide if and what accent a person will have once I hear them speak.
I scheduled a couple appointments for noon today so that I would be away from my desk when part-time job starts calling right after the supposed end of my week. Because I am too stoopid to let it go to voicemail. This, my new strategy for not being all enraged with them and their mad ways.
... appointments being eyebrows and (for the first time in about a YEAR) manicure. Very business-oriented.
coffee: I ran this plan past one of my collaborators, who responded with:
"voicemail is your friend."
Me: "yes, but curiosity and impending sense of doom are my sisters."
Him: "Family doesn't always play nice."
I saw that earlier, connie. It's a good one.
Barb! Just friended you on lj.
"submoronic" is one of those words that turns the entire brilliant sentence up a whole other notch.
This just made me wonder if there's such a thing as being "dommoronic". I suppose Dubya would count (but only to 10).
tacklehugs smonster!
I think I like Sox's "sisters".
Why are carbonated water makers so much more expensive than cream whippers? It makes me want to give up on my dream of making my own fizzy water and suck down some whip-its instead.
Question--
What do we think of this for me?
I just got this dress (and being me, for a LOT less than even the "sale" price listed on the site. A LOT.)
Anyhoo, the deep discount meant that I got it a few sizes too big, as it was the only one they had, but it was so pretty and I was suckered in and I reasoned that a lot of high end designers size small anyhow. Not surprisingly, the hips fit, but the waist is a wee large and there are probably two/three inches that could be taken in on the bodice.
I should have it tailored, right? Even if it is white and I rarely wear that color. I mean, it was SUCH a bargain.
And smonster, I saw that! Yay!
