My University has a policy that they do not pay late fees. Ever. For any reason.
I want to institute this policy for myself. I don't see my various utility companies going along with it, though.

I love that you're not a geek and you post this.
Today I have broken out the steel toed mary janes for the first time. With insoles and thick socks they aren't way too big. But I do feel uneasy because they're brick red/orange and ita doesn't wear coloured shoes, like, ever. But they match my top and those are the rules, right? Right?
I'm just going to have to dwell in the secret knowledge of the steel toes.

What's a good way to initiate a conversation with my boss wherein I say "Two people who have worked here less time than me and have fewer responsibilities are both Managers, where I am not. FIX THIS NAO PLS."
Granted, I'm pretty sure nobody in the entire company is getting a raise this year so now might not be the best time to initiate this conversation, but at some point it really does need to happen.

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

Whenever I hear about steel-toed boots, I think of cows. Having had my toes stepped on by cows when wearing steel-toed boots and also when not, I can confirm the efficacy of steel-toed boots in the "cow stepping on toes" scenario.

Jessica, it's not uncommon to give a promotion on paper in place of a raise.

It would be impossible here - there are very strict payscale tiers based on titles.

Because books.

That seems wide open for nasty jokes.
Steel-toed Mary Janes make me think of the little girl in The Bad Seed. Who probably would have appreciated them.

Now I'm wondering what it'd be like if the various LA gangs raised cows. There's be gang cattle rustling and drive-by shootings of cows and kids selling milk and cheese on street corners....

Like the Delirium plushie, I have an alert on eBay for steel toed mary janes, and it really doesn't come up often. I'm surprised. Disappointed too.
Sushi poppers. I'm quite startled by Kathy Lee Gifford's reticence. It's just sushi that's probably not great.
I tried black cod sushi for the first time last week, and I need to make a note--that was damned tasty. I don't remember having seen it on menus before, but I'll definitely pick it out again. It was one of the tastiest ones in our spread. Which was pretty good. Indiana Jones has good taste.
