I did not get much sleep last night due to A. going out to the movies and not even getting home until 10:00pm, B. having a Diet Coke at dinner, therefore being jittery and amped and C. staying up even later engaging in Marital Duties with my DH, who D. went promptly to sleep and snored LOUDLY.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Still have some sun here, but it is blessedly cool.
I wish it were a law that loaf pans had to have the measurement stamped on. That would be a useful law. I always feel somehow lesser because I have to go measure, that I can't just look at a pan and tell. I am about to make banana bread.

Thrive to spite them
I hate all the claims that taxing the rich is class warfare.
It's not class warfare to make the middle class and the poor poorer. No it's class warfare to make the really stinking rich slightly less rich.

Consuela I'd reply with that anyway.

I dislike your coworker's shenanigans so very much, Consuela. She fills me with rage, and I don't give a shit what her side of it is, so there, Consuela's coworker. Yeah, I got nothin'.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The original change was September 2, and the email I forwarded to her & our boss included a reference to a phone call on that date, with her name on it.
"I called IT to have a look at your computer - I'm forwarding you the email I sent on September 2nd so you can show the tech guys that you didn't get it."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's not class warfare to make the middle class and the poor poorer.
Nor is it class warfare to cut taxes on the rich, like we've done like a billion times since 2000.
No it's class warfare to make the really stinking rich slightly less rich.
Yeah, especially when the rich have gotten almost all the new wealth created in the last 10 or 20 years.

"Oh dear, are the (people who referenced the phone call) making things up? They had listed your name on 02SEP. If they are misleading us we really need to crack down on them, because that's inexcusable. When you found out on Friday were you shocked?"

FPC: Remember how I went to Ireland in late May/early June, and the reason I went was so mr. flea could interview for a job with IBM? They STILL haven't reimbursed us for his travel yet (airfare and 3 nights hotel, which adds up to like $1200). It's been 3 and a half months now! He's emailing them AGAIN today. I told him at this point he needs to call the CEO and be like "I want my money!1!!!!!"

Animal rights group PETA to launch pornography website
The non-profit organisation, whose controversial campaigns draw criticism from women's rights groups, said it hopes to raise awareness of veganism through a mix of pornography and graphic footage of animal suffering.
"We're hoping to reach a whole new audience of people, some of whom will be shocked by graphic images that maybe they didn't anticipate seeing when they went to the PETA triple-X site," said Lindsay Rajt, PETA's associate director of campaigns.
