Bob Bob just made a FB joke-post about people wasting their lives writing YOLO on FB all damn day. [I had to ask what YOLO meant. I suspect it's mostly college students who do it.]

The county that Davis is in? I am so confused.

You know the story of the Feminist Frequency Kickstarter project, and how she's been so badly trolled by 4chan?

No, but I looked it up, and huh. I didn't look too deep into the actual trolling, but what the shit. Felicia Day recently got flamed for doing a music video where she identified as "Gamer Girl" and wore eyeshadow. Girls play games. Get over it, Internet.

What does YOLO stand for?

I just learned this at a comedy show on Tuesday! It stands for You Only Live Once.

I swear, I AM that person in a meeting. I wouldn't call me an asshole. Just really strict in guiding the discussion. Given some of the people I work with would happily go off on a hour long tangent turned rant turned 4 hours later, someone has to do it. Am I accused of being abrupt? Yes, but by god, meetings I run rampant over get to the point. And I'm not mean, unless you count friendly but professional but strict MEAN.

And that's when so-called jargon like "let's take that discussion offline" is so handy! Because you're not saying shut up, or it's not something worthwhile discussing - it's just not what we're here to discuss right now.

I didn't look too deep into the actual trolling

Don't.

Hell naw, man. You Obviously Like Owls.

I sometimes do this. When I'm turning left and I know people blow through the opposite stop sign all the time, I wait to make sure they are, in fact, stopping. It's not being polite, it's fear.

This is me. The denizens of New Orleans constantly find new and exciting ways to scare the proops out of me on the road, so I exercise a great deal of caution.

Yeah, when I was in New Orleans in January for work, I had a car that I used to commute to the Convention Center. Just taking Canal back and forth -- people are insane there. And you still can't turn left.

Just FTR:

Roundabouts make the baby American Jesus cry!

Not if you call them rotaries, like god intended.

Man, it's a catch-22. They see me hesitating, even when I have the right-of-way, because their "body" language is scaring the bejesus out of me, and they gun it. But I'm deathly afraid of being the aggressive one lest they be the jerk who doesn't yield.

My boss will be firing our idiot seasonal tomorrow. Thank the lords. I thought our high/drunk freshman last year was bad. What's awful is that I think this kid is low-functioning Aspergers. He needs such explicit instructions. Not just hand-holding, but spoon-feeding. And we need someone in the position who is independently competetent and self-sufficient.

He needs to go far far away, and yet I'm still wondering what the liability is for firing someone with a (potential) (undisclosed) cognitive disability. I mean, either way, he is unable to perform the job as advertised, but I still wonder.
