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!
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

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.

In totally unrelated news, Robin Givhan (who writes about fashion) commented on Sarah Palin's wardrobe, style choices, etc.
There was a brief piece in the same issue of the paper (which I can't find online) about checking out prices at the local Neiman Marcus for a lot (don't remember the exact amount, but it was all designer stuff, name brands, real jewelry), then going across the street to Loehmann's and getting something comparable for under $500.
Yeah - she's getting slammed on this.

Allyson - GRRR at your employers. May you leave them soon for a much, much better, happier position.
Also - check out this tarot card!

“Not dead yet!”
Yoiks! For a second I was worried that someone had put Sarah Palin on a Tarot card!
