She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

They put in a new system at my job last year, and they made a whole song and dance about how 3 is "meets expectations" and the expectations are really high, so most people should get a 3.

This is my company also. And I darned well better get an exceeds this year. I've busted my ass far beyond my usual. It is probably also about time for us to do our self evals also. My manager is on the other side of the world right now and I'll probably forget to ask him when he gets back. But he is well aware that my ass is busted.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Romney Apologizes to Nations 150 million starving beggars.

That is some beautifully Dickensian wordsmithery right there.

Romney is in Utah for the next few days to hold a few more thousands-of-dollars-a-plate events. When he needs money he comes to Utah. And they fork it over.

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

I'm pretty sure that a) that was the right initial dose and b) that didn't do jack. And my nurse does not give a flying fuck. He has, in his words, "more important things" to do rather than check with my doctor for a second dose right now. Jesus, I'm not a threat to myself or others (partially due to lack of weapon--am lazy and wiped) and not about to bleed out, but there are ways to phrase things.

The registration guy, who's here to take my money, for fuck's sake, is all "Sorry for asking how you were...of course you're not doing well...I just feel like I know you personally."

That is how you do shit.

As in, paler than the Klan or the National Front?

Palest gang...I didn't notice that before...heh.

I hate the whole "no really, basically no one gets a 5!" system.

people in the U.S. tend to overestimate how many Jewish people, African Americans, Asian Americans, and Latinos there are in this country.

Huh. I totally would've over estimated blacks and Latinos. Not sure about asians, and I mightve underestimated Jews.I would've guessed closer to 20-25% for both black and Latino.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Frankly, Mitt has shown his complete lack of cpassion and empathy already, by driving to Canada with a sick dog zOn top of his car and his high school "prank", but mostly by his reaction to those incidents. Every time I think about the dog thing, I think we are the dog in that situation, and I don't want a president who is going to tie me to the roof of the car while I shit myself in terror
