Natter 70: Hookers and Blow
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Ack, le nubian. That's a heaping load of stress. I hope you can get through it as well as possible. House-finding ~ma, at the very least.
Jesse, I'd return it and get it in the right size, but I do most of shopping online, and I'm impatient and want to wear things RIGHT AWAY. Which is not to say that you can't lose the 5-10 lbs. necessary, but. New! Dress!
I know a size up would be too big. And it took months to get here, so no immediate gratification either way. Eh, OK, I'll send it back. BAH.
IO9 "upgraded" their software today. This is the longest I've gone on a workday without visiting in quite some time.
But the morning developer call was exhausting, and I have to be on another one in half an hour, and I WANT TO LIE DOWN. The world, man. What's wrong with it?
what I want to do for lunch:
lay down in an empty office for 30 min. then go get a smoothie.
what I will do for lunch:
set up lunch for a training group in another building and clear their breakfast stuff, then go get drive-thru lunch for a different meeting, deliver it and then go get my smoothie and work through lunch so I can leave at 4.
VBS is fun, but 7am - 8:30pm work days are too much, even with an hour and a half of that being drive time. Friday I will be in bed by 7pm and Saturday I will sleep late late late.
Any googling for rentals you can farm out to us, le nubian?
Happy birthday, JZ!
eta: If you need another set of eyes on the paper, I am a slacker almost-PhD, otherwise known as an ABD.
IO9 "upgraded" their software today.
And yesterday every thread I visited on Jezebel said "Discussion now closed".
Happy, happy birthday, darling JZ.
It feels like half of Colorado is on fire. We no longer have regular news, it is all fire reporting. The pictures are scary as all heck. None of them are near where I live, yet we can smell the smoke in the air.
Stephanie - if you need a place to go, you are welcome here. I know I don't have a ton of room, but it is an option.
41 "Regrettably" Tacky Photos Of Famous People. Some of them live up to the title, others I totally have Jensen Ackles pictures they could be replaced by.
Not particularly safe for work--I think I might have seen J-Lo's nipple in there, but I wasn't dwelling on it.
Work seems to have changed their password rules. My new password definitely conformed, but it was in a sequence from the existing one. I had to go for a totally new stem, which means I'm going to lock myself out multiple times a day.
Oh and I'm in Starbucks right now working and people are telling anti-semitic jokes. WTF. People, you are all lucky I'm not armed in here.
Ginger, I would totes ask the buffista contingent for google help on rentals if I thought it could help. I have reached the bottom of the barrel. Just not enough inventory for what we want. We have 2 backup plans if this place today doesn't come through and one plan involves a storage unit and daily drives past strip clubs.
I guess I won't have my parents visit until 2014.
