Skipping-what-else-is-new to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is PixKristin's birthday.

Happy birthday, Kristin! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Also, IIRC, even if it's not on the Buffista Calendar, MFNlaw is Kristin's birthday's sister, so lots of wishes for her as well.

And belated wishes for -t, whose birthday was yesterday (they're belated because I didn't manage to have any computer time yesterday, alas. I'm sorry about that).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I just hauled over 3,500 pennies to the CoinStar machine last weekend.

It's easier for us to come up with possibly faulty percentages ourselves than to ask HR, who may or may not ever answer.
I think HR filled it out for me. That's how I was Hispanic for a day last year.

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 just hauled over 3,500 pennies to the CoinStar machine last weekend.

I first read that as "penises".

That's how I was Hispanic for a day last year.

So it wasn't on "National Be-Hispanic Day"?

Hmph. So my cat really is abnormal. She rejects my oxytocin-inducing gestures!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Ugh. I've been drowing in work all week. Need a break.

Etiquette question:

So, all those grade school and high school friends I haven't seen or thought about in twenty years...I can defriend them now, right?

We had our little, "aw, your kids are cute you look great I'm glad you're alive" conversations.

But a lot of them have JUST DISCOVERED social networking and I feel like I'm drowning in newbies who say weirdly inappropriate things and I just want them to catch up for a few years when the LOL! LOL! has been beaten out of them.

I am a social networking SNOB.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Happy birthday, Kristin and MFNLaw!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthdays, y'all!!

I think HR filled it out for me. That's how I was Hispanic for a day last year.

Heh -- I know someone who was listed as Hispanic at work for a long time, when she's not. Her partner is, and she speaks Spanish, but still. My other justification for what I'm doing is, we're just providing percentages, and that could go wrong in any number of ways!

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS

I am a social networking SNOB.

I've found the "less about" option to be very useful for those situations. When they appear in your newsfeed, click on the "options" button to the right of their post/status update/whatever, and select "less about" and you'll rarely ever see them again. I use it for the right-wingers in my family.
