Last week the other SoCal analyst had a meltdown at our boss, and he aimed some heavy language both at him and our manager. My umbrage right now is lesser, but in a time where we're told to try and exceed by the voices outside our department, it's frustrating when you're the interface and your internal directive feels like "do less, more slowly".

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

Ann, that's a ferret.
(And gift cards get you more $$ than actual cash.)
To me, this is a good argument in favor of the gift certificate/card. Spend $20, get $25 in purchasing power -- I like that idea.

Yeah, as long as you'll actually use the gift card--at one point I used up a bunch of "ThankYou Points" by getting gift certs for my mom and sister for Christmas--and sometimes they put them on "sale" so you can get them even cheaper than usual. But I don't use that as my main card--just put a few random things on it every month since its free and I've had it forever.

Paging ita, these shoes scream you: [link] , especially the second pair.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Meh. Just meh.(No reason)

My god, Kat! Those are perfect shoes! And the second pair and the last pair are the perfectEST.
Gnargh. I hate proof that your handwashing was inadequate. But this is better than other ways to find out--somehow I got garlic on...something involved in my cookie snack--hands, plate, glass, cookie itself, and it ruined the whole thing. Now I'm going to brush my teeth, scrub my hands, and get a new plate and glass of citrus water and try it all again.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So Emmett got asked to Prom.
If you remember the movie scene in Goblet of Fire where Fred Weasley asks Angelina to the Yule Ball, it was much like that.
The girl in question, Laura, wadded up a ball of paper and threw it at Emmett. It just had "Prom?" scribbled on it, to which he nodded yes.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
After Emmett's scrimmage last week, and I took him and Matilda out to lunch I may have suggested we get burgers at Barneys on Solano because that's where Laura works.
She was *totally* flustered when we walked in the door, but cute and got to meet Matilda.
