Okay, this [link] suggests a few things -- soaking the carafe in vinegar and water before washing, or the salt/ice dealie.
Police procedure has changed since I was little.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Grey and rainy here, again. Could be worse.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My coffee-makers have always broken before they got that stained, which is why I now have many different coffee preparation devices with not many moving parts between them and not much glass.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I shall try the vinegar and the salt/ice. Buffista hivemind to the rescue, again!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I adore that pic but *what* is the name of that business in the background?
I did a gigantic double-take at that too, but the smaller writing on the window made me think it might be some kind of Hungarian/Eastern European coffeehouse, and Babelfish confirms that it does indeed mean "Slavic House." But, yeah, extremely unfortunate placement in that particular picture.

The status is NOT quo.
It's disturbing, how many people I know who are in this situation of overworked and understaffed, how long it's been going on, and worse of all, that there doesn't seem to be any end in sight. This is the new normal, and I hate it.
This is absolutely the case at my school. The staff in particular are doing what used to be 3-4 people's jobs on their own. Unsurprisingly, people are burning out and morale is very low. It's why I'm considering a potential job that a colleague in a local Pasadena school approached me about. I doubt any school will have the magic and whimsy of my current one, but so many years of flat pay and more and more work on top of the two plus hours a day commuting is making me seriously consider it.
ETA: The other school is one of the oldest and wealthiest independent schools in LA county and has barely been touched by the recession.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good lord. I slept too late to go to yoga, and haven't done anything since except watch Face Off!
