Oh, and more bs NJ traffic laws: if you can't find your insurance/drivers license, even if it happens to be in the backseat or trunk, or just lost in the mess of your passenger seat, and is current, the very fact that you can't produce the physical document at the time of being pulled over is equal to not having any current or legal documentation At All.

WTF NEW JERSEY?!!! I'm having visions of those old black and white movies where some German-accented soldier demanded to see their papers before they let the tragic lovers cross three blocks to the Resistance coffee house.

In NH, if you could produce the documentation the same day, you were cool.

Is this like illegal immigrant crackdown, what is with NJ's severe traffic laws?

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

I am developer-flabbergasted today. I asked one developer what the results were when she ran a given query, and she dumped a poorly punctuated query on me that wouldn't run and threw her hands up. Didn't even take five minutes to fix--she's the developer who keeps telling me "You'd know that if you were a programmer..." in the most derisive of tones.

Other developer--I forwarded her an HTML page and two images. She puts up the HTML and asks me if it's okay. Uh, no? One of the images was the O in Our, so it now says "ur Apologies". How can she be handing me this to evaluate? I check the HTML and the fragment we were given have different names. So, apparently at no point did she notice there are two images in the bundle, two broken references in the code and the page says fucking ur in 48 point type....she wants to know if the page is good to go...

I don't understand how people can get away with that little...anything.

Hm, I have a 2nd interview tomorrow, I am informed by google calendar invite. That is unexpected. I'm not entirely sure it's a good thing, to be honest. And I definitely do not know how to dress.

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

FYI, I've had the best luck with them by ordering a size larger than my measurements.

I'm not quite sure of the sizing, but I found some other ref somewhere that translated US sizes in the 28/29/30/etc sizes used on Chic Star. I remember now what I loved, I loved their coats.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I went to a place called Lunch out towards the South Fork that was supposedly renowned for its lobster rolls. It was 95% cole slaw. Very untasty and disappointing.

That's not right. The ones at my supermarket look pretty good! Although I've never had one, since I'm actually not all that big on lobster. My grandmother, OTOH, had it three times last week.

I miss the lobster rolls that used to be on the lunch menu at the local Red Lobster. Though my wallet doesn't.

Our wings are not tired.

Now I really want a lobster roll.

I think I had a lobster roll once. If I did, I was underwhelmed. I kind of suspect that my belief that I like lobster is actually just a side effect of my really liking drawn butter.

I had planned to come home and mow my lawn, but I think I am to tired. Even so, I am going to eat my daily allotment of cookies. Such is my consequence-free lifestyle.

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

I have never had a lobster roll. I like lobster and crab though; they are pretty much carriers for lemon butter, as is asparagus.

Man, now I want crab legs.
