Is there a way to submit a video so it embeds the viewer in the screen?

Sophia, honestly? I'd go on the offensive: "I use unscented products because of scent sensitivities*, and I'm well familiar with personal hygiene so perhaps you are unused to natural odors and they are a trigger for you. Not much I can do about that without causing me significant discomfort. Hell, maybe it is incompatible pheremones!"

* = no matter if it is true or not.

I don't think I get migraines, but I do have certain scent issues. Which is why I can only handle aveda for maybe 6 hours tops (helps it makes Loki BITE MY HEAD, so I promptly wash it before being home for any time.) BUT. There is a new IT guy. My officemate is an IT guy. Having the new guy and his cologne in my office for most of a couple mornings made it feel like my sinuses were being scrubbed with coarse steel wool and I was left with a horrid sinus headache, piercing pains behind my eyes and hangovery feeling all day.

And this new guy will work a lot with my officemate. I don't know if it was a couple-off thing or what, but if it persists, I'm gonna have to talk to him. Feel like ass, but I just can't do that.

But that is an artificial scent. It's not bad, either. I just react badly to it. Back when my previous officemate got a new cologne, I had to ask him not to use it at work. But we were buddies, and I'm pretty sure he felt as bad about it making me ill as I did asking him not to use it.

Allyson! I got books yesterday! Yay! I have not had time to read more than the first chapter because this week is trying to kill me, but I'm thinking that it will be my reward if I survive till Sunday.

Everyone has been too busy to help me put up the website, which sort of blows, since I'm awful at design.

Are you willing/able to pay for some design mojo? I can rec someone who I suspect would give you a good deal. Of course, he's getting married this weekend... but he's also been scrambling for funds lately so who knows. I can drop him a line and ask about $ and his schedule if you want; it can't hurt to ask.

Sophia, that's just nasty of your co-worker. Just...that's not how you do things.

The thing that has me kicking myself is that I am so far in the opposite direction as far as speaking to people about ANYTHING that is bothering me that I was feeling sorry for her as she did this, because it was obviously something she had really thought about, and she took the time to write it out so she could read it to me, So in our conversation, I was reassuring her that she hadn't hurt my feelings. Which of course she had, but I didn't want to make her feel bad. What is WRONG with me?

What abut stuff like this?

I think it's cute to add a funded project from Donor's Choose.

she took the time to write it out so she could read it to me

...WHAT?

Strega! Whoot!

I am little in the way of money, I spent a great deal on stuff for goodie bags and invitations/announcements for Sam, so I'm thinking I'll just have to do it myself.

Who posted the big cats + pumpkins video to the goodstuffhappenedtoday Tumblr? That was darling.

Yeah, I, too, found a tumblr account from, like, the day they launched. That I never used except for experimenting with having it import my twitter feed. I found it when I went to create another one, because lord knows, while I don't actually post or blog or tumbl much, I can sure as shit CREATE new blogs with the very best of them.

But if anyone shares my fondness for the Fuck Yeah Lady Athletes, it's set up for submitting and asking questions?

I just squatted another tumblr account, just because. I am why you can't have nice things!

AND I've just introduced my sister to tumblr, via four Tom Hardy tumblrs. I'm not supposed to mention him to her, but he was the best idea for a quick initiation, yeah?
