I've been playing/avoiding a version of that colour game for a while now, one with nicer colours and a time element. It's here, under "Colour Splash":
Wait, what? Aldi has online games? They are still a supermarket, aren't they?
Angel: Will you just shut up for once?! Illyria: What? Angel: My God, the speechifying. Has it ever occurred to you that now might not be the best time for when-we-were-muck stories?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oh yes. They suck you in with their addictive little games and then sell you yoghurt!
Or something.

I am discombobulated. There's an Aldi about ten minutes' walk from my house and they've never attempted to seduce me with online games.

Good lord. I can lose chunks of time to solitaire. I'm not going anywhere near the color thing.

Okay, folks - my hair is past the hairpocalypse stage and driving me crazy. I'm going to get it cut tomorrow AM. Ideas? It's currently top-of-shoulder length, with shorter pieces in front where it breaks off (see [link] [link] ). LOTS of grey in the front. I am trying to decide whether to go with safe (bob between earlobe and chin, maybe stacked up a little in the back) or SHORT ( [link] ). The grey hair is fairly curly, it's about to be summer in humid Georgia, and I am extremely low-maintenance in the hair department (no blow drying, no product).

Now tagless for your comfort.
flea, I loved Michelle Williams' adorable pixie. Unless you thing it's too short. Might work for summer!

Who wants to help me with this self-appraisal? Apparently the "comments" field is required when choosing my overall performance level from last year.
What's a good way to say "This job's not that hard so it doesn't matter that I was pretty half-assed about it all year. Therefore, I rate myself awesome."

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Never miss an opportunity to suck up to management in your comments, like "The calm and clear direction I was provided helped me to turn in a performance that I'm proud of."
That is, if the direction was such that you can write that without giggling. But I'm sure you can find some aspect to compliment with a straight face.

My boss and I are working from different offices today, so as long as I don't write LOL at the end, she'll never know whether I wrote it with a straight face or not!
