But even in the media, it only takes one willfully clueless person to ruin my day.

OMG. So much WORD to this.

so much.

so so much.

I often ask men who our countering me on things...

based on what?

I do it to my dad often and he hates it. but really, he has no business talking to me about my work issues, or being a woman, or really even what to do with mac. His base of knowledge is far weaker in all those areas.

I am trying super hard to pull myself out of a mood and I am just failing.

Is it weird to tweet at a restaurant on my block to see if they have running water? I can't find any info other than that streets are still closed, which doesn't bode well, but I am curious!

I'd probably do it, especially if I were a regular customer.

I've been there once! I do realize it doesn't really matter either way and I'll just see what I see when I get home. (If there's still no water, I might spend the night at my folks', but would need to go home first anyway...)

ION, I just got an email from a colleague who uses Comic Sans as her default font. It sort of works for what her job is, but it still made me laugh.

It would be weird if you had water this morning, but since you didn't, no.

I JUST got mansplained! I was talking to BFF's brother (who works with me). He is kind of a bloviator to begin with in that he tends to have conversations at you rather than with you, but I kinda do that too. We were talking about board games and he brought up Clue. He started to tell me all this stuff about Clue (that it is called Clue-do in England, and that Mr. Green is sometimes called Reverend Green, etc). So, since I know him and I don't need to be super polite, I said "I literally read the wiki artcle on Clue LAST NIGHT.", so I just learned all this. AND HE KEPT TALKING, and explaining more "Clue" factiods from the wiki article. And so I tried to change to another board game, but he just kept going.

No big deal, though, and he really does do it to everyone

It is no big

She's either a comic book letterer (of not much innovation), or a kindergarten teacher (and expectedly exhausted).

Right?

There is a guy here whose surname is Love and I CAN'T WORK WITH HIM. I'm going to say the wrong thing sooner or later.

And the siblings named Chris are also making me wacky. One's over the cube wall from me, and the his sister was at my desk while I needed to find an email from a third Chris. The brother takes the snarking a little less well than his sister. I just can't believe they have another one at home!

And, shit, I don't have garlic fries yet.

The actual project we're talking about involves both comics AND kindergarten students, so.

I must have skimmed. Someone had multiple children named "Chris" and you work with two of them?
