Tara ,'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I interviewed for a job in the publications office of the University and while I was interviewing, my interviewer received a call that was obviously about the job I was interviewing for.
The person on the phone got the job, but then I interviewed for and got her old job, which was my first job here.
Stay safe, Fay. That's not a comfortable situation to be in.
Yikes Fay! Be safe!
OK, I changed my mind - I don't want a dolphin friend.
Study Reveals Dolphins Lack Capacity To Mock Celebrity Culture
GALVESTON, TX—A study conducted by marine biologists at Texas A&M University has found that bottlenose dolphins, long thought to be among the most intelligent members of the animal kingdom, are "utterly incapable" of pointing out the flaws of celebrities and knocking them down a peg or two.
According to a paper published last week in the journal Science, when presented with photos of music, TV, and film personalities, dolphins failed on every occasion to mock the well-known public figures, missing countless opportunities to take mean-spirited potshots at their hair, past romantic partners, or breast implants.
"Frankly, this is shocking," said Professor Michael Hodges, lead author of the study. "Given their impressive brain-to-body ratio, we believed dolphins would be capable of trashing Lady Gaga, or at the very least, succeed in rolling their eyes at Kendra Wilkinson's post-baby weight gain. Instead, all we observed were blank, snarkless stares."

"In one trial, Tursiops truncatus specimens were shown pictures of Renée Zellweger in two dresses, one stunning and one hideous," said neurobiologist Anne Gross, who helped conduct the experiment. "Not only did a disappointing 88 percent fail to respond in any way, but 100 percent completely missed the chance to call her a squirrel-face or ask whether the things dangling from her ears were supposed to be jewelry or some sort of fucked-up preschool art project."
The Onion, of course.
Stay safe, Fay!
At one interview, one of the people who was asking questions had the wrong resume in front of him, so I ended up knowing who one of the other people they were flying in was.
The Onion, of course.
We should congratulate the Onion for apparently outwitting a dolphin.

Study: Dolphins Not So Intelligent On Land
So what started all the drama with mac last night was that he traded his video iPod yesterday. that means 1) he took his iPod to school 2) he lied to me about having something other than school stuff in his bag.
Then there is the matter that what he traded for is a fake iPod Touch and doesn't actually work. Something he had not figured out, but that I pointed out to him.
Therapist and I were very proud of him telling us about the trade, there was no punishment coming. I was ignoring #1 & 2 (outwardly, in my head I was all ragey). We offered ideas on possibly trading back, but also explained the possibility that the friend would not trade back and that the iPod may be gone.
