And she's particularly beautiful
Actually, this bit I disagree with. I think she's fairly pretty and extremely glamorous and stylish, but not particularly beautiful.
Fetish modelling, carefully chosen porn, and Marilyn Manson sound like differentiators (not saying she wasn't in love with Marilyn, just that it didn't hurt her but probably helped, and it might actually have worked against some other women).
the commercials lead me to think, depending on the episode, that it is the wackiest show EVAR, or the freakiest show EVAR. I assume it's both
Often in the same episode, yes. That is a lot of why it is such a fun obsession.
So...developer is out, business is hounding me for things related to what she was doing yesterday, and she not only didn't update me when I asked her to, she also didn't add me to the support platform so I could read up on what she did without asking her. My manager really doesn't want to hear that incompetent is hampering my ability to support the business, but if she is actually of use then she can also have a negative impact on support.
Like, say, now. I'm not the only person she was avoiding yesterday, but I am the person they will all look to for the answers she didn't supply.
What are trouser jeans?
I think I've determined I can't have a fade. Either it won't work at the lengths that model had hers at, which is as long as I'll go, or it will require combing, and I'm not going to comb my hair. Nothing is that important right now.
What are trouser jeans?
Office-appropriate slacks (higher waisted, full leg, slash pockets) made out of denim, usually dark-wash. They go with everything, don't need to be dry-cleaned, can be worn year-round, and are good for most offices without a strict dress code.
I got into them because of What Not to Wear, and finally found a good pair at Banana Republic.
I've never heard of them.
Interesting.
In apartment news: I saw one yesterday and it was nice but the stairs would kill my knees. Still I filled out an application and faxed it with a letter saying I liked the place but would prefer the 1st floor.
Got a phone call: they really want me and are going to try to get me a first floor apartment.
Oh god, I'm still slightly traumatized from the time I had to tell a minion that denim slacks still violated the no-jeans rule.
Enforcing rules you think are stupid is the worst.
Good luck, sumi!
Today's wildlife sighting: four otters in the downtown part of the slough! No pictures, I was too slow with the phone. I knew there were otters in the marsh, but they are usually pretty elusive, so this was quite a treat!
Now I need to get a battery for the Volvo so I can give it away.

I had that told to me! But it was a) when I worked in a grocery store and b) at my yearly review after I had worn the pants for a year. The woman who had to tell me thought it was stupid, and said she thought management just wanted an excuse not to give me a good raise, since I worked there for 9 years (all through high school and all through college).
It's been a long time since I've had to worry about a dress code. Damn it's good to be a developer.
Otters! That so totally rocks.
In my office the denim trousers would only work on the rare days when we are allowed jeans.
I wonder if denim skirts are allowed. . . .
