There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

So Mayim is all for orthodoxy that makes her wear a bathing dress, but not enough for orthodoxy that makes her not write God in her posts? Am confused!

Wait, what? Are you saying she does or doesn't write God? (Because I can think of reasonable explanations for either one. Basically, the "G-d" thing is a tradition, but there's no real religious reason for it. You're not supposed to write the Hebrew name, but there's no real rule against writing it in English.)

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

It seems like it's playing on a sterotype, but in a cute way?

I've never actually seen a stereotype with dialogue written that well. It's a bit of a blend between regular Patois and Rasta Patois, but when the fuck has that ;last come up?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

FFS, I'm trying to watch last night's Justified, but I keep getting distracted by work! I am tired of thinking about this bullshit.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Houston is back on the job-hunting table. I am getting slightly dizzy. It seems pretty promising (again) that either it or ABQ will come through, but I wish the whole thing was over.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hey, has anyone seen or heard from Kathy A in a while? I wonder how her health is - she was posting regularly after her surgery and then dropped off...

Yeah, I've been concerned about her too.

I will never sleep tonight. I don't think there's enough wine to calm me down at this point.

Is your work shit-storm still in full cyclone mode?

Oh yeah. It should be done by Friday, god willing. I don't even have a lot to do! Just a lot of fretting and bullshit. And currently trying to decide if I should wait tonight for more VPs to weigh in on something one VP just told me to do.

I mean seriously, we only have like 10 VPs, and I've been emailing four of them tonight. This shit is above my pay grade.

I will say, my boss is great. She could totally throw me under the bus, but hasn't, and is even setting me up to look good in front of all of thise VPs.
