'Harm's Way'
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.
I had a productive day in the office today, too, but it was at the cost of getting a shower. Which I need to go do right this minute. Just after I turn over the laundry. Joys of working at home.
(Etymological note: The SO & my family have concluded that I have made up the term "turn over the laundry" myself. Does no one else say this to mean: took the wet clothes out of the laundry and put into the dryer, and put the next load of dirty clothes in the washer?)
My aunt really needs a new computer, but I just don't have one handy right now. I gave away a computer to a single mother working at Wal-Mart not too long ago and my supply of spare parts pretty much went away with that. I also have a high school friend who could use a new computer. Oh well, my supply of computers is limited.
Katie Roiphe is, yet again, an idjit.
So unlike every other domesticated animal, cats chose us.
I thought that was also true of dogs initially, that they first started to hang around humans long before we has the ability to domesticate animals.
I think all women who have their children in the FB pic should change their status to "I think Katie Roiphe is a self-important ass, and she does not speak for THIS woman. Don't know who she is? All the better, she's a waste of time."
Just the sort of maturity I might expect from a woman whose whole ouevre could be summarized in a collection titled "Fuck You, Mom...Just, Fuck You!" Maybe she and Rebecca Walker could make it an anthology since the only reason anybody gives a fuck about either is their mommies anyway.
Just got interview prepped by a recruiter for my Tuesday phone interview. She brought up the dreaded "What is your greatest weakness?" That's such a sadistic question, because I don't believe any of the advice I've heard/seen to date about answering it correctly. "I work too hard" is so obvious, and the "It is X, but here's how I address it" is still fraught with peril.
I suppose, "I have no weaknesses for I am a divine being," wouldn't go over well.
Or anything sarcastic, I suppose.
"My biggest weakness is I hate inane questions."
"My biggest weakness is the voices in my head."
pause, listen....
"No, it's not."
I still favor: "My only weakness is that I'm too smart too divulge that answer in a job interview."
