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

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

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."

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!

I think the short 'do is very flattering on you, flea.

I agree re: the short cut, flea.
I am eating gouda and stout bread for breakfast. It's amazingly delish.

I find that short hair is infinitely easier to take care of when it's humid.
Also, someone made a music video for Re: Your Brains that's pretty good. My favorite part is the PowerPoint because I have sat through that exact meeting.
