I am so confused. How is asking for your previous W-2 not illegal?
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

God, I hate self-evaluations.
Me, too. We're doing our mid-year reviews (our calendar is not like your Earth US calendar). My job's changed a fair bit, so in my evaluation notes I had to say things like, "Well, I can't say I improved my work on that area because I'm not doing that anymore. Instead I'm doing these three other things. At which I rock. But still. Can't claim an improvement in the first item, sorry."

Because books.
It seems like it should be illegal, right? But if companies are allowed to run your credit, I guess the W-2 is not much different?

I'm kind of flummoxed they get to run your credit scores to be honest. It all kind of seems to me to be less about getting useful info for evaluating someone's ability to work, and more about seeing how far they can shove their corporate arm up someone's ass before he cries Uncle.

So, in a complete change of topic, I caught up with The Good Wife last night.
Was that the season finale? And OMG Kalinda. ::flails::

Burrell, I agree. But there doesn't seem to be any way to get around it, unless you're working for your uncle or something.

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

We came to a major decision this past week – the 2,500 pound, 135 horsepower, propane-fueled, hydraulically powered hexapod robot will be named… Stompy.

And there's the real problem, isn't it? Ah well.

Those Lego wigs are crazy in the good way. But you know they fall apart too easily to actually wear them.
Speaking of falling apart too easily, I am sorely tempted to crazy glue our Hogwarts Castle together the next time we actually assemble it all. But I fear that once I do the kids will stop playing with it, since being about to modify it is key to keeping it in play.
