'Smile Time'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Is there anyone at all who seriously doubts this? I mean, even the birthers have to know Romney is a liability in a debate.
No one at all, which is why, when they actually do debate it will be reframed as a Romney win, just as they did during the Bush/Gore debates: "Well Obama was good, but he did misspeak at one point, and he said "um" a lot. Considering that Romney didn't literally shoot himself in the foot during the debate, I'd say he comes out as the winner!"
I think Gingrich would have done very well in a debate - he's level-headed and can think on his feet. Romney gets flustered and contradicts himself if you ask him what the weather's like.
Now I'm imagining all the other possible combinations we could have had - can you even imagine what a nightmare it would be to sit through a Romney/Kerry debate? The opening statements alone would go on for days...
I'm freeeeeeeee! They gave us a 5 minute warning - last call for a cigarette or bathroom run before taking us into the courtroom. About 10 minutes later we were told that the trial had been postponed and we were free to go. Woot!!!
Now I'm trying to get caught up on work. Not so woot.
I'm looking forward to the debates. Then again, I have a hard time turning away from a trainwreak.
Oh, snake-handlers. Did I ever tell my brother's story about the snake-handlers he treated in Georgia? It's pretty OTT. Ends sadly for the snakes, though.
In other news, the Big Boss just stopped by, and let me know that not only is my position not posted yet, they don't know when it will, because the HR person who's supposed to do it is MIA and the whole place is a big ball of confusion.
I will not cry in the office, I will not cry in the office. Or hide under my desk.
Oh god, Consuela. Maybe go for a walk?
ION, I may stab somebody if this company does not announce the thing they promised to announce on MONDAY. (I realize they may not have remembered Monday was the holiday, but it is now WEDNESDAY. Grrr.)
Oh, Consuela. I can't believe the shit they put you through.
I am pretty sure there is about to be an admin position at my company if any bussistas want to take me up on that "move to Texas" thing. I promise to find you a house for less than $200K near me. I also promise you hours of entertainment.
Consuela, seriously. I'd be hiding and breaking shit by now.
I just read a tumblr post that's vehemently against Ace bandages as binding. They say what the possible side-effects are, but I'd really like an indication of the number of people who break their ribs because they used a stretchy bandage.
I know people who have passed out from binding too tightly with ace bandages. On the other hand, one of the popular alternatives was duct tape, so I don't think that's BETTER...but that was mostly for performances, not daily living. I think the issue is that with binders, you're going to be tight...but if it's TOO tight, you're unlikely to be able to get it ON. Whereas ace bandages you can wrap pretty damn tightly and not realize it. ...but I dunno about breaking ribs.
