Came home early (migraine crisis). Found a pay-up-or-else notice on my apartment door. Turns out my new apartment manager is the sort of guy who'll put up that notice on a Monday but not have checked his drop box since the Friday before. Great.

At least he apologised and said he'd tell them I dropped the check off only 4 days late.

Ooh, that sounds good, bon.

And that sounds annoying, ita.

A Russian site with tons of pictures of an Ekranoplan

that is one ugly aircraft! It's almost steampunk!

Congrats, msbelle! I hope the rest is smooth sailing, cos you could use some of that in your life!

OMFG. "I wasn't sure what the question from an outside org was referring to, so I asked additional people inside our org. In a way that made it seem like I was passive-aggressively asking them to do my job, rather than trying to clarify what the question meant." HEY. Here's a magical idea: How about if someone ASKS THE OUTSIDE ORG.

I mean, seriously.

Congrats on smooth sailing with the house, msbelle!

I could have done tonight without Devi playing Push Things Off with her glass dish of food while I was making dinner. Just what I wanted to do, clean up glass off the kitchen floor. Then I went looking for my 2008 taxes and they weren't where I keep my taxes. Ahrg. Frantic digging and...I still had them filed with all my mortgage stuff.

It was supposed to be a relaxing evening.

I loved Zoe Saldana's dress. Someone needed to tell her, however, that you don't need to hold up the front of a dress to walk DOWN stairs. Particularly when the front is short. And if its short enough and you haul it up enough you cause my mother to use the word "coochie".

Other than all that though, I loved it.

I can't leave anything glass around for Amarna to get to due to her love of playing that same game. She broke a glass I had full of water in the first few months after I got her because she felt like whacking it off of the coffee table, and I learned my lesson--I stick with either plastic cups or water bottles now.

Clooney's hair is for a role.

All this time, I was pictureing Zoe Saldana as the girl who plays Zoe in Caprica. I was wondering why so many people cared about it!

Are there and lawyer/HR buffistas about. My boss is a professor of nursing. One of her teaching assignments is as a clinical supervisor, which means she is going to a clinical site and supervising students on a floor. The site she happens to be assigned to is not part of the University payroll/recording type system (although it is owned by the University). She will be working there and being paid by her teaching job. The site (which is not employee her) has asked that she have a background check, which means she has to give them her SS#, maiden name, and other pertinant identifying information. They have told her that they will keep this information on file "forever". She feels that she oes not want to give this place her information, an the University should conduct the background check and give the OK to the site. The University an the site have ony given her the option of submitting to the site or paying for her own background check.

Any thoughts?

I read that someone tried to get him to cut it before the show and he declined. I also read that his date's dress ripped and he stitched it up. He can come over and do my mending anytime.
