So I called the nurse hotline about my eyeball situation

Are you the lady who superglued her eye shut?

I should start wearing makeup to the jobsite.

Subvert the dominant paradigm!

Does anyone have anything planned for 10/10/10?

One of my geekier nieces is getting married at approximately 10:10 am.

And from way back: Kat, the twins are winning? They always do.

I loved my San Francisco nieghborhood. I lived on Bush St. between Hyde and Larkin. It was close to good restaurants, shops and movie theatres. I only had to walk up to California to catch the Cable Car to the Financial District when I temped. There were two big groceries nearby and my laundramat was just around the corner. I loved my apartment, too.

I wore makeup every day until into my 20s, because my face didn't clear up until then. If these girls have the skin to pull it off, more power to them. But I'm not surprised that the majority of their peers don't feel comfortable without foundation, concealer, whatever.

(Oddly my skin these days is way better than a teen's. Don't know why.)

Are you the lady who superglued her eye shut?

Yeah, no. I just have a puffy eyeball situation, but I would have hoped it was better by now!

or shaving anything other than my head

See that's just weird. I mean I can go a while shaving nothing but my legs but my legs need to be shaved. Not for anyone else. They just feel weird against each other when I don't shave. Unless I can somehow get about a week out. Then it's not prickly any longer and I can ignore it for a good long while.

Horrible 8th and 9th innings.

Pancakes for dinner.

Nelly! He's my secret Ranger bf. Still 3 down.

Jesse, your eyeball is not puffy.

Yikes! A big, articulated bus full of passengers crashed on Lake Shore Drive today - it hit a tree.

CTA bus crash sends about 30 to hospitals

Roughly half of those victims, including the bus driver, were taken to hospitals in fair-to-good condition, said Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford. Four of the victims were taken to hospitals in serious-to-critical condition and about a dozen were taken in fair-to-serious condition, he said.

About 40 other people on the bus refused treatment on the scene.

Damn - what could cause a big bus like that to leave the highway?

I've always seen makeup as decorative rather than imperative; I usually wear at least colored lip balm to the store and such, but I enjoy makeup, and it takes me less than 5 minutes to put on eyeliner, shadow, mascara and lip stuff, so it's no big to me.

However, I would no more NOT wear makeup to a job interview than I would not wear tights or pants. Or to a more social event. It has nothing to do with intelligence, and everything to do with my feeling polished. I imagine most males feel the same about picking a favorite tie or shaving/trimming facial hair with care for an interview/date and such.

However, were I interviewing a candidate without makeup (a female one), I would think nothing of it, as long as her general appearance indicated care and cleanliness. A candidate of either gender, with messy, wrinkled clothes or unwashed hair, etc. yes. I would judge. I says I don't give a fuck, and I would not care to hire that attitude.

Jesse, you're eyeball is not puffy.

There's a puffy, discolored area. I'm sure it's just from the allergies, but it's kind of creepy. Better than this morning, I think!
