No "underwear as outerwear fashion attire"?
That's actually a written policy? I think that's kind of hilarious.
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I appreciate an impressive sounding number if it's going to feel like that. 97 seems like whatever, but 100 is Really Friggin Hot!
And this is why Celsius will never become standard in the US. We'd die long before approaching three figures.

37.7 hardly sounds impressive at all! But we would get to use negative numbers much sooner in the winter....

Because books.
ita, haven't you worn the corset more than once? I hate it when rules spring into being with no precedent.

But just think how hot 40 would be! And yet, still not as impressive as 100.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's actually a written policy? I think that's kind of hilarious.
I think it's hysterical, and I really want to know what prompted it.
Of course, now I'm reading and rereading the guidelines and getting totally paranoid. It's the blouse thing. You know how there are dressy tops that if they were plain cotton knits would be t-shirts? But maybe they're silk knit, or have pouffey sleeves or something and I figure they're okay...
I'm going to be second guessing that for a while.

Yeah, but they just published this over the weekend. And my boss was really nice about the whole talk. So I'm okay with it, really.

A friend of my sister's is moving to China, where Facebook is disallowed. I'm guessing that's the same for other social networking sites. Bummer. Was looking forward to following her adventures. She's a teacher.
We're supposed to have hit 100, too. Am staying inside. I haven't had much online time lately, so...

I'm writing copy for a Regency-set historical romance today, so now I want to frame the whole dress code document in Regency terms -- "No scandalous decolletage, if you please, and be modest in your presentation of wrist bone and throat..."

It hit 101 at the airport. Currently claims to be 104 out towards Catonsville. And whoever determines the forecast the weather widget uses had better just be fucking around with the 108 forecast for tomorrow. 108 is bad with no humidity. We have lots of humidity.
edit: airport just updated to be 104. Seriously.
