Yeah.
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

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

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
A bare light bulb is caged within its respective void, revealing a lamp
I don't think that's cool enough to justify the bulk (that's a big footprint for a lamp) but I'm probably not the target audience.

My fear is my cat would get stuck in it.

It's a bad thing that I want to e-mail The Girl and say "If I only invite three people and we change the venue to our living room, can I have this?", right?

Depends. Am I one of the three? If so then it's an awesome thing made of glitter and joy-filled donuts.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
mmmm, donuts.

Sometimes I feel like a bad feminist for my lack of passion in re Polanski. I mean, I'm not defending him because I liked Chinatown; I feel that he deserves to be picked up,but it's not stirring my blood in any way. But then, I don't have kids to protect.

Dana! Congrats on getting the job. and Congrats to CJ on the publication.
Also, happy birthday to Alibelle.
Oh my god. Went to Bacaro for dinner last night. It was delish, even if it was mostly in the 'hood. Then we went to see August: Osage County. I have such mixed feelings about it. Did anyone else see it?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Dear Boss -
I adore you. I think you are the bee's knees that are dressed in the cat's pajamas. You are one of the best people I have ever worked for. Ever. And I've had over twenty jobs. Probably closer to thirty.
However...
You are the Executive Director and I am your assistant. It's right there in my title. And you really need to learn how to rely on your assistant. I know you've never had one. And I know that having one is tweaking your socially liberal, pseudo-hippie, pro-feminist ways. I know that having a female assistant, in particular, sometimes makes you uncomfortable.
But really? This is my job. I do not think that you asking me to research conference calling plans is making me feel like you are asserting your male-ness and trying to make me feel less than you. If I get you a cup of coffee, it's because I'm a) being polite and b) I just made it - not because I feel like I have to wait on you. I am not going to stand by your desk in the morning, take your coat and hat, and read you your appointments and messages. This is not an episode of Mad Men, however much I would like to dress like Joan. A good assistant anticipates. But I am not be a mind reader. I need your calendar so I can book you a conference room so you aren't running around trying to find an empty space while your guests cool their jets in reception. Please. Let me do my job. I swear that in the end, we will both be happier.
Much respect,
Aims

Aims - right there with you. My boss wants me to keep his calendar, but then accepts some meetings without telling me, not all of them, just some, so I am left wondering to do more or less. And when I tell him he has a meeting in 5 min, he keeps working, then is a little annoyed, when after 8 minutes I ask if he is going to go to the meeting.
It's like a larger more well-adjusted mac.
