Get better Grace, poor boo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Excellent!

Ugh, Kat. Good luck.

Haircut update: after washing and styling it myself, it does look good. Still not really the haircut I wanted, but it's not a disaster, at least.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Awesome photos. The one of the shark fins made me sad.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I wish I had a toothbrush, clothes for grace and a sweater for me

I wish I weren't working! I'd bring you a care package. Instead I'm tearing my hair out, and now I have to convince my boss of something I've been dreading all week...

Unrelatedly, except relatedly--members of the company have been under strict NDA about stuff for over a month, partially because a specific news outlet was to be the first to report it.

And then...the outlet reported it by mistake today instead of next Wednesday. People pissed! We've been on eggshells for a month, and now screwed by someone who doesn't even work for us..

Jesse, I always feel like I can't judge a haircut until I've washed and dried it myself. Which drives stylists nuts because they're all "do you LOVE IT??!?" and I'm like "well, it looks ok I guess..."

Now tagless for your comfort.

It seems clear to me that the average RNC-going Romney/Ryan Repub only embraces non-whites when they have become rich and powerful.

One of the GOP delegates took his wife to Epcot prior to attending the convention. He was SHOCKED and disappointed to find a MEXICAN working in the USA part of Epicot. He voiced his disapproval.

Hope Gracie gets better quickly, Kat. And her stay is very short.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Poor Gracie and Grace's family. This is when not being in meatspace with your friends sucks.

I hate when stylists say, "Do you LOVE IT??!?" because, you know, if I did, I would probably have said, "OH I LOVE IT" and if I didn't, you're just fishing for a compliment.

But yeah, until I've done it the way I'm going to be doing it, I don't know. The SO just gave me money for a haircut, but I don't know if I want a haircut or if I want an extra session with the trainer. I can afford one more right now, but maybe I should have two?

I know you're totally right. I got complacent after seeing the same person for two years! I should just go back to her -- it's not actually that far away!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Grr. One of my team members, who I am already annoyed with, is now hitting one of my supreme pet peeves. I love IM for business purposes, but if you are going to send me an IM that says "Hi Brenda" and wait for me to respond before you tell me what you fucking want, you can sit there all day.

(You can see through the system if I am logged in and if the computer has been inactive for any length of time, so there is just no reason for this. Except to aggravate me.]

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Mark spoke up and told them he was highly offended after visiting the other countries and seeing employees from that country and then come to America and find a Mexican. He was very civil but his point was well made.

I missed the part where there's a civil way to be incredibly racist?
