I was just reading some of the job descriptions at my uni, and one of them (an Admin Asst position, because colleges are weird) asks for either a Bachelors Degree or at least 2 years of "secretarial or word processing studies" and equivalent experience. You can get a 2 year degree in "word processing studies"???
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
The Buffistas are all over eBay this week, aren't we?
I've got two things up right now (a rare Sally from Nightmare and an old McSweeney's), and even though they don't end for another 4 days and change I can't stop hovering.
And now I need to know how your tapes do, Jesse!
The only VHS tape I really need to keep is the unaired Buffy pilot with the Wrong Willow. Except I can't even find it right now amongst all the clutter. I suspect it's in one of the boxes in my dad's basement.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I keep wanting to come up with a Word Processing Theory & Cognition course that has something to do with spellcheck and prescriptivism vs. descriptivism, but my brain is not cooperating. Think of something witty; pretend I said it.
