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.

I had leftover pasta for breakfast. And an orange. Delicious.

I have had pasta for breakfast or lunch almost every day this month. It's the only thing I have brainspace for.

I would love to have a pixie cut. But I think I need to be closer to pixie size (and therefore no more pasta!) before I pursue that.

Likewise! I haven't had short hair since like 1995 or something.
