Was it here someone posted something from Snopes about Obama rumors vs. Bush rumors. Seemingly, during the eight years of Bush there were about half the number of rumors that Obama's gotten in less than two years and most of Bush's and very few of Obama's are true.

That's really interesting.

I think my feet are shrinking. Most of my shoes seem a little too big all of a sudden! That doesn't make any sense. Maybe it's just because I'm not wearing them all day?

It seems Salem has an exciting new street sweeping program that they didn't bother to publicize much.

The notice has been on display for months at the local planning office.

I don't think I should have worn this outfit today. Every guy I pass is talking to me. It seems to have been of less note when I weighed a little more.

Aargh! I thought my boss had cancelled the ten o'clock! Good thing I went randomly anyway. Now to prep for the eleven. My meetings have more than doubled now.

No doubt right next to the notice about the discontinuation of town robo-calling.

But in the cellar...

Is it behind the door that says Do Not Enter? Or was it a chemical spill? I think there were leopards involved.

Tomato-basil tower. So gorgeous!

(Don't read the comments - who knew a tomato salad could start a political flame war?)

I dunno, it might all be worth it just for:

Last I checked this was 'supposely' a Democracy...

There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now. … What do you mean you’ve never been to Alpha Centauri? Oh, for heaven’s sake, mankind, it’s only four light years away, you know. I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that’s your own lookout.

Argh argh. The other day, I got an email saying the place I want to work wants to bring me in to meet one more person, and someone would be in touch to schedule. Awesome, right? Except they haven't been in touch to schedule yet! And what they said to one of my references made it sound like this is the final step before an offer, so I'm especially anxious about it all.

I come to the board for my daily dose of reading fun and witty Buffista remarks and find out some people think I'm a troll! Not a troll - and my deepest thanks to those who stuck up for me in my absence. Time-challenged: hell yeah. Passionate about politics: hell yeah. Coming to issues from a different place than some of you: hell yeah to the Nth.

Takeaway: I'll try to be more engaged when it's not politics. People here should have more reasons to love me or hate me than a couple of posts about politics. smile

I'd forgotten about stors! Good times, good times.
