Some appalling news from China: [link]

For the record, Biyi was 33 when we got married.

Based on a discussion I had with my manager, when the self-eval came around, I marked myself low on communication.

Today I find out the CIO has suggested me to be added to "the most exciting project in the company" because I am a good writer and a strong presenter.

I am trying to work out how to balance my bitterness and flatteredness at the same time. Since I have a meeting at 4:30, I think I have time to work on that.

But, shit, big stuff shouldn't happen on Fridays. My juice is low...

Could this news be relevant to her interests?

I think the time period doesn't match for her practically. Though she'd no doubt be interested in theory.

So they called your emergency contact number to tell you to pick up supplies that were not ready to be picked up? Wow

Precisely the source of my ire. "We can pick it up for you if your schedule is so busy you can't get here before Wednesday." At the course I'm taking in Pasadena? Let me just drop it by when I can, mm?

Free pita and hummus is a win!

As is chili and avocado. Send me some through the tubes, would you? I've still got a couple hours more work to do before I can knock off today.

Also, had my first mammogram today! Due to family history. It was not as squishy as I feared, though possibly because mine don't squish much. It was very fast, and they said they'll mail results. They only just called me to schedule it on Wednesday! Madness.

You win, Jess, mos def.

From Billytea's link:

"There is an opinion that A-quality guys will find B-quality women, B-quality guys will find C-quality women, and C-quality men will find D-quality women," says Huang Yuanyuan. "The people left are A-quality women and D-quality men. So if you are a leftover woman, you are A-quality."

Hey! I am officially an "A-quality" woman according the article!

All I want to eat anymore is hummus, but I keep resisting buying it at the supermarket, for fear of eating the whole thing in one go. So yeah, Jess, you definitely win.

Also, I am totally A quality.

bt, man. that article was depressing.

It seems every person I know that has traveled recently has been sick upon return.

I've been home for exactly one week, and I was in TX not FL, but if I come down with a cold now, I'm going to blame Laura.

::head in hands::

My reputation may have exceeded me on this new project with the new people. Yikes.

Anyway, end of business.

The people left are A-quality women and D-quality men.

And those get put together into sitcoms. Right?

Friday night chicken is in the oven, all is right with the world.

And those get put together into sitcoms. Right?

I submit According to Jim and The King of Queens as evidence supporting your theory.
