What kind of dog weighs 250 pounds?!?
I am just trying to get regular work done, as I have been all week. Hoping to finish up today with some training stuff and prep for next week's travel, and if my boss gets back to me, revising a report. But mostly looking forward to the weekend.
I think most of my overdue/onerous tasks at the moment are not going to be tackled today--I want to refi my house, and hire someone to garden/landscape/bomb and destroy my yard. But am not even sure where to start on either of those (and on the latter, not sure how much I'm willing to spend)
Two things are pissing me off right now: Tumblr technical support telling me to uninstall a number of add-ons I don't have installed, in a really pedantic and condescending way, and refusing to believe me when I said they weren't installed until I showed them the screens that said "nothing installed" and now their suggestion for why their site is giving me contradictory errors is to change browsers. "Here are free links for Chrome and Firefox". Well, thanks for saving me from the Opera moneypit! They're also entirely ignoring me on another issue, and I just want them to respond to me to say they won't fix it, so I know what the silence means.
And also people on IO9 are telling me that Hollywood doesn't have "minority" casting issues--either the casting is representative of reality (oh, right, women, that does suck, maybe), or my favourite "sometimes people who are better at the job or
perceived by the audience to be
better at the job are going to get it." Him I told we were done talking.
I want a pony.
Well, I was going to make an eye appointment, but now I'm looking for a new optometrist.
Big slobbery mastiff named Leah.
My onerous task of the day is to get a bid from the movers for my folks' move. And probably make them dinner.
"sometimes people who are better at the job or perceived by the audience to be better at the job are going to get it."
Isn't this just a really shitty way of saying "Hollywood isn't racist, everyone is racist!"?
perceived by the audience to be better at the job are going to get it.
Well, sure, if by "minority casting issues" you don't actually mean RACISM. Duh.
It's pretty much "They're racist, and I'm okay with that."
THEN WHY ARE WE TALKING??
You don't get to say you're not racist after that. I'm ignoring you.
Consuela - I'm so glad you are at the point of hiring movers. Huge steps.
I did up my FSA. So I'm all oneroused out. Though from a health stand point I'm finally feeling human again. But exhausted. Nap time?
Hmm, I need to get social this weekend or I'll have to spend it all with my folks, and that will burn me out. Maybe I can go see Lincoln...
