Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Nicole, I've sent losing tickets in once or twice. Never won anything.
As for ita's problem, I'd tell New Guy, "I don't obssess over what time you get in every day." But in 21+ years, "I haven't seen New Guy today" has been enough to answer any boss questions along that line.
I have no idea what's going on, but assume New Guy is an imbecile. Is that correct?
Quite correct, Allyson.
I got to campus only to discover that most of the places where I eat are still closed. I've done pretty good so far on coffee and a tangerine, but I think I need to venture out for some actual food.
Once again, Etsy baffles me: [link]
I won't lie, it's all stuff I'd use. But seriously? An assortment of vintage accessories and sewing notions labled as a "vignette"? I guess my vague plan for the Gothic Charm School Occasional Emporium on Etsy isn't so silly, after all.
(Do I want the pink gloves, rick-rack, handkerchief, and rhinestone earrings enough to purchase this "vignette"?)
New Guy has asked me to tell the boss that he comes in at 8 every morning.
"Oh, you mean you're going to start coming in at 8?"
"Oh, you mean you're going to start coming in at 8?"
We have a winner!
"Vignette" is a very odd term to use. I'm sure we could come up with a better collective noun. And Jilli, I wouldn't buy them without a size or measurements on the gloves, says she who spent a half hour mourning her "huge" paws at the vintage store going-out-of-business sale this weekend. That is, assuming you're planning on wearing them.
Is "New Guy" the same one who joked about your headache, ita? I say we smite the mofo. I mean, I am the last one to judge someone for being late, but I don't ask people to lie about it, either.

gnng, good point about the size. I have tiny hands, so the chances of the gloves fitting me are good (and I'd be cutting the fingers off of them anyway), but it's still too much of a risk.
I'm confused by the vignette. Are they sewn or glued in place? They don't look framed, so what makes them a vignette as opposed to a few cute items grouped together?

An attempt at verbal cleverness.
