Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yup. I have definitely reached the MOAR COFFEE portion of my morning. Since it's almost afternoon.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I think it's that I accidentally left the coffee on the burner too long and it isn't as delicious as it could be.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My used suits and other work clothes just got passed on by a second resale shop. They are just classic-cut pant suits, straight jackets. nothing out-dated looking. such a bummer. Then I looked on the local dress for success site and they are not accepting anything smaller than size 16. I guess I will try to ebay them, I was hoping to avid that effort, but I think I need to try and get some money.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Did I post here about my disappointing consignment experience? They took two things out of my pile, and they both sold, and I'm getting $12. For a nice sweater and brand-new Kate Spade wallet! Fuck that. I really should have put the wallet on eBay, but from now on, clothes are just going to Goodwill.

Woes. You know the only solution to this, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think there's a cultural difference between software shops that sell software products as opposed to software services

I have worked for and with both, though.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Tep, I am lusting after that shirt HARD CORE.

I too have a ton of clothes I need to drop off at Goodwill.

Apparently it's supposed to snow like crazy? It's already pretty chilly here, 20 degrees. I'm supposed to tour the KC Google Fiber office tomorrow morning, and I really don't want to miss it.

Next time I'm asking you first. My solution was to wait for it to get cold and then toss it.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I could wear jeans to work every day, but as I've only one pair I don't. The NGO dress code can be pretty flexible. Some people come to work in lovely suits, some in the work clothes they'd wear in their home countries, and some in various interpretations of business casual. And then there's the classic public health professional "my field placement was more wide-ranging than yours" miscellany of tunic, trousers, scarves, and jewelry sourced from as many continents as one can claim to have worked in. I'm just jealous that I can only wear a necklace and shawl from Senegal with my J.Jill outfits.

Today I'm working from home in sweat pants and a Valhalla Calling t-shirt.
