'Out Of Gas'
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.
Compliment lady strikes again. Except she's still talking about yesterday's outfit. It's obvious that she means Elphaba as a compliment, and I'm taking it as such, but you can't just tell people they look like the Wicked Witch of the West...okay, maybe if their tights were stripy. It just seems a little dodgy.
I have to say, the cowboy boots are fun. I wish I could have found a fancier pair in my size, though.
Right. Lunch. But first, status report.
A bunch of interesting laws passed in NY yesterday. Became the first state to have workplace protections for domestic workers, and the last to allow no-fault divorce. [link] The second-to-last state to allow no-fault divorce was South Dakota, which passed the law in 1985.
Well today has basically been a waste. SERIOUSLY. did a tutorial with talky mctalker guy this morning. had fancy lunch with boss and managers, nice. then they had surprise cake for me, nice. people all wanted to chat, nice, but I am working remotely all next week. c'mon people.
Now almost everyone is gone and I am finally getting some of the stuff done that I needed to. I may come down on the 4th to watch the fireworks and if mac is into that, we will just come early, let him watch a movie on his iPod and I can put in a couple hours of work.
Status reports. Right. I've been slacking on those. Haven't turned one in for weeks. Surprised my boss hasn't yelled at me.
They let us go at 2 today, but I'm still working. I'm behind schedule because I foolishly took a couple vacation days. Oh well. I'm still grumpy about the five vacation days I took last December because I'd have lost them if I didn't, but I worked all five days anyway. Like they're gonna give me that time back.
Smonster, sorry - no luck. They had very little in the way of one-pieces in stock at all.
Phoeey. Thanks for looking!
quester, I am so sorry.
For anyone interested, it looks like the Ghana-Uruguay game is going to go to penalty kicks.
Red card in overtime of extra time!!!
Wow.
Penalty kick off the crossbar in the last second before penalty kicks!
ETA: Off to the kitchen to watch...
