And:

1. Good to know the toy boat fetish was solved.
2. ita, this is crazy with the job and all. I'm sorry you have to go through this.
3. I can haz sister. She's sleeping now, after talking with me a lot and even let me pet her head few times. Shines

I wish you could group people on facebook into family, friends, etc and only let certain friends see certain things.

That would make things so much easier. But I suppose it would defeat the whole purpose of social networking. If my groups are free standing...which I would SO much prefer...then they aren't really networked.

I'm skipping the whole "25 things" meme because there are too many work people on my FB contacts list for my comfort. Maybe I'll transfer it to a locked LJ entry instead. (But probably not. I'm really far too lazy for memes like that.)

Jesse is me in this. Plus, I just delete petitions and causes because I don't feel comfortable exposing my list in that way. Which I suppose is ridiculous given how not hidden anything is anyway.

Jesse is me in this.

Heh -- that was Jessica, but I already posted on FB that I'm not doing the 25 Things!

We just had a non-fire emergency drill. Good times. We sure do a lot of drilling here, which I guess is a good thing. The only other job I've had with actual regular emergency drills was the one with kids in the building.

OK, remember how I was complaining a while ago about how PETA's campaigns are mostly "These hot naked women want you to be vegetarian!"? Yeah. They're at it again. Ad rejected for broadcast during the Super Bowl. Likely NSFW. [link]

Heh -- that was Jessica,

Doh! Sorry.

You can. I've got a couple of different friends groups and some can see everything and some can see limited info. If you go to the friends tab, you can create however many groups named whatever. Then go to the settings link and in privacy settings, you can take a number of actions. Click on any of the settings and you'll get another list. Most of the dialogue boxes will come up as "only friends". Find the "customize" option and click on that. Another box opens and you put in the friends groups you don't want to be able to access those things.

Well, that was a waste of lipstick. The interview was a cattle call for commission-only insurance sales. Insurance companies seem to be thriving--every day or so I get an email about buying a franchise. But this time I actually put on makeup and nice clothes. They want me back for an orientation presentation next week, and THEN they decide if they're really going to consider me.

If I hadn't wanted to get out of there so badly I'd have asked what about my 20 years of technical experience made them call me (and lie--she said it wasn't sales) about the position.

Not quite as complex as the Space Shuttle pic that ita linked to. I like all the "off the shelf" instruments, including what looks sorta' like a kitchen timer.

You know a sales job has gotta suck (at least for 99% of people) when they lie about it not being a sales job.

Sorry, ita - that sucks.

Mom doesn't want me to post my shower photos there because she doesn't want to get in trouble with a part of the extended family that did not get invited

And I went "sj in the shower--well, I can see why Mom wouldn't want her to post them, but what's this about invitations--oh."
