Also if I'm cleaning and she's there to watch me do it, then she feels compelled to do housework too and gets all cranky about it.
I do this! Ooops.
Actually the SO is kinda awesome about housecleaning. But we definitely have different tolerance levels. And his just builds up where chaos is completely fine right up until it isn't. And then he cleans until, like, two in the morning and gets back up at five to finish.
And then I feel guilty and do it too and then I'm grumpy about it. I'm trying to do better with a defensible perimeter strategy. I started with the master bedroom & bathroom. Those are currently completely clean. So I do small straightening tasks in those rooms to keep them clean. That way when I wake up first thing in the morning I'm not in a mess straightaway.
Of course, as soon as I walk out the door, the dining room table is a wreck, but we'll work on expanding the perimeter as soon as I'm actually maintaining.
So, is anyone missing any devout Christians today? As yesterday was supposed to be the Rapture?
Oh lord, I got halfway through making a Rapture crack at work the other day when I realized my some-flavor-of-hard-core-evangelical junior J was 5 feet away. (Literally halfway, like "maybe K got Rap---urk, nothing".) I don't think she heard. One of the people I was talking to totally got where I was going, but fortunately not the one who would be likely to run tell J.
She's my direct report, and I have no idea if she's actually a Rapture type or not, but I do know the general size of the gulf between us on things like this (epic) so I
never
talk religion at work, ever. This one got away from me.

Oh, right, I didn't get raptured, but I did develop a theory on maybe why all porn is gay porn. It's the cocks! Right? You might be innocently watching porn and accidentally see a cock and, whammo, teh gay1!!1
I don't actually know. No one I know thinks all porn is gay porn. I mean, as far as I know. The subject of porn actually doesn't come up all that often in my evangelical Christian circles. Not as often as pot luck dinners, anyway.

I'll admit to checking whether my more conservative Christian family members had updated their Facebook status today. They did. So either the Rapture didn't happen or they weren't part of it. Either way, they're probably a tad disappointed.

I've seen numerous cocks, both in porn and in person. None of them made me gay. Watching Rachel Maddow pwn Pat Buchanan may have done so, however.

If you check the site that was predicting Rapture yesterday, it now says "Fall 2009" instead of "September 21st." So we've been granted a few months reprieve.

How clever of them to vague it up. A suprise rapture is much more fun!

In my first job, we were hiring an assistant, and my boss came up with what turned out to be a brilliant question: What kind of boss are you looking for? It was brilliant because one of the people were were interviewing said she would never want to work for someone who swears. Oops. Bad fit!

And some guy with an unfortunate fondness for MS Office-generated stylesheeets, I guess.

Maybe God will let the Raptured update their Facebook accounts from Heaven....
