What is PHI?

I think that it's personal health information.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Boss just got a snotty email about a request "from over a week ago" about something that is NOT on a certain channel.

The request was put in the system EXACTLY a week ago, AFTER our scheduling meeting and the list is made with data that YOU give us.

She's working from home, but I wonder if she's feeling as ranty as I am. I sent her the tracking ticket.

I'm mildly disappointed that my LJ isn't displaying in Russian.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Relevant to the "positive thinking" discussion: The Just-World Fallacy.

It is common in fiction for the bad guys to lose and the good guys to win.

It’s how you would like to see the world- just and fair.

In psychology, the tendency to believe this is how the real world actually works is called the Just-World Fallacy.

More specifically, this is the tendency to react to horrible misfortune, like homelessness or drug addiction, by believing the people stuck in horrible situations must have done something to deserve it.

Grrr. Seriously dude. NONE OF YOU show up to the scheduling meetings, and you're bitching now?

Minutemen Founder Accused of Threatening Family With Guns >[link]

I saw that headline, was dismayed, eventually remembered that one of them has been dead for a while, got even more confused, and then realized, oh hey, they aren't talking about the band, are they. The guns should have been a clue. Reading the article would have helped.
