Happy Birthday, Kate!
And tell me, y'all, how on earth is it possible that my baby turns eleven today?
Seriously. It's not possible
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

I'd been wondering why there were no new Dork Towers since Oct. 10. I have my answer, and it's adorable (not as adorable as Pete, but still...): [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My father bought a house where the half-bath had a black toilet, black sink, and black wallpaper with flocked panther heads with yellow eyes. It was so creepy to pee in there.
AWESOME.
Happy birthday, Kate!
Allyson, did I say WTF? Because WTF. You needed to get out of there months ago, and it's still true.
Why do I have a headache and no drugs? Why.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Happy birthday to the coolest Kate I know!
Just got caught up, and everything not related to Kate's natal day I might have had to say is lost in sputtering rage for Allyson. You've had a horrible feeling about these jackholes and this job for months, and it's long past time for you to be out of there and on your way to someplace better. Which, at this point, sounds like anyplace that's not this.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Allyson, I am full of rage towards your employer--especially since you spent so much time and effort on that symposium. I hope you can find another job quickly and tell them to fuck off.
Happy Birthday, Kate P!
Barb, it's umpossible!

Happy Birthday Kate!
Allyson, may your bosses be saddled with real-life Sheldons and Howards from Big Bang Theory.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATE P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check this out: Michele Bachmann, the one who said the media should investigate Congress to find which member are anti-American, has just lost all RNCC funding. Before her comments, she was looking at a comfortable victory. Now they've given up on her.
Or, they are comfortably sure she'll win anyway and don't feel compelled to fund a race they think she'll win handily.

Allyson, WTF? they should realize they're lucky to have you - and once you find a better job and leave, they will.
Why is it that so many places don't appreciate good people when they have them? I had dinner with friends last night and one was telling me about how her office refuses to promote from within - they pass over good people to hire less qualified ones from outside. damn.
