She is my journalistic hero. Snarky, too, but only about stuff/ people that most deserve it(imo, of course)
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Damn -- juliana beat me to the kitty litter suggestion. Mostly because I forgot it by the time I got to the entry box, but still.

Ehrenreich was on The Daily Show last week, for those who want a taste of what she's talking about.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ooh. Amazing fantasy armor leatherwork
I'm not sure exactly what it means to be "hell bent for leather," but I am sure that this is the outfit you want to be wearing while you're thusly engaged. Prince Armory is (mostly) Samuel Lee, who goes by *Azmal on deviantART. Beautiful craftsmanship.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that was a great antidote to the wrongheaded keynote speaker I saw last week who started going down the road of people making themselves sick -- which makes me INSANE. She told a story of a woman who stopped doing art, became a successful executive, but got fibroids. Yeah, I'm pretty sure not dancing isn't what causes fibroids.

Professional etiquette question - I'm writing an email to Potential New Overlords with a list of questions/demands about the benefits package.
Now, if this were a job I'd applied for independently, I would obviously be using my personal email account to communicate. But this is a merger/aquisition, so the only way this guy knows me is as Employee Of Current Company. Should I still use my personal email and just sign it "Jess from That Company You're Buying" or should I just go ahead and use my work account?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Jess, when I went through that a couple of years ago, I used work email. They know you're going to have questions because of all the changes.
