I was assuming for a while that a "space" was something different, like a root folder in their hierarchy, which might have different features than all the others, but the application consultants said, nope, this application uses the folder visual and the word "space". Very irritating, but I have to speak the same language as the developers and its users. Fuck that, I'm still saying dates my way though.

Okay, so looking at this top that was linked to here, what can you wear over it? I'm trying to visualise it under my jackets and stuff before I decide to spend money on it.

Came home from hot sweaty errand running to discover the house is 74degF and climbing, despite that the system insists itself is on and working.

I'm glad that your AC is working now, but I had to giggle, because we keep the AC set to 77 here, so I'm pretty chilly if it gets much below that.

Yeah, I figured as much ita, but thought I'd offer. Next time I run errands for you, I need to remember to bring it over.

I have been mulling that top as well. I was thinking of a cardigan, but I wear a lot of long cardigans.

I remember a three wedding summer with absolutely no guest list overlap but me, so I wore the same outfit three times.

Oh yeah -- I wore the same dress for two weddings last fall. And am considering it for one of these, because I hate only wearing things once or twice.

I think a shortish fitted blazer would work with it. You want to keep all those ruffles exposed.

Yes, this. I keep thinking it would be a great summer piece, and then remember I'm not yet comfortable with wearing sleeveless things. Will I ever remember to do things to tone my upper arms? Oh, probably not.

What about long lace gloves, Jilli?

Is that tunic really tunicy or a dress? It's adorable but seems more like a dress.

I took Noah on the subway to Hollywood and Highland where we went to Johnny Rockets for lunch. He's been begging to ride the underground train, as he calls it, this week, so we did it. (Grace's nurse came in today). Normally we go all the way to the library downtown, but it was near lunch, the first car of the train was full of stink and the second full of crazy so I let him decide when to get off.

He liked the station at H&H and was thrilled with a chocolate milkshake. I love spending unstructured time with him.

Unrelatedly, when did folder take over and become a proper synonym for directory?

In my own world, when I realized my boss does not know what a "directory" is unless she's holding a phone book.

My office goes one further and refers to the directory named "Common" as the "Common file." It drives me bonkers. Chatty!co-worker and I tried to get people to at least refer to it as the Common folder, but no. A frigging ginormous directory, and they call it a file.

(Of course, I still suspect some of my co-workers think you scan things by rubbing the sheet of paper against your monitor screen, and I am not making that up.)

Finally, as a decades-long Mac user, I still don't know what the fuck an F drive is, or why my co-workers think I can find it.

Oh yeah, I think in my job, it's supposed to be "Shared files," but people definitely say "Shared file." I don't care, though!

Speaking of not caring, I just had the trashiest dinner ever: Buffalo chicken dip. So frigging delicious, even though I forgot I only had ranch dressing in the house, not blue cheese.
