Interview~ma all round.
Both cute dresses. Stripy dress is super cute.
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
First thought: Both dresses are awesome and you should have both AND a job wherever you want.
Second thought: I have clearly been going to the wrong kind of conferences.

Thrive to spite them
Interview~ma for everyone!
And pretty dresses.
So my supervisor made a sexist comment kinda joke and I didn't call him out directly by saying "That's not cool" but he asked me to reorganize a section that's for clearance and orphan products and instead of just stopping with "I thought you would do the job well" he added stuff about my women's intuition and being a woman or something. He was sort of joking. (I think it can be hard to tell, he's Polish sometimes he has translation issues).
So I told him he'd picked the wrong person for decorating style since I don't have that, but I can make the display look better.
I fumed a bit about it, I wasn't mad as much as frustrated because I really hate putting up with this shit. So I told the manager on duty who said that wasn't cool and he would talk to my supervisor.
I think it was supposed to be a light hearted joke and it fell flat.
The supervisor has also been telling me I'm doing really well at my job and he knows that when I get more experience I'll be able to perform better and he has that expectation so it's not like he thinks I'm just good at rearranging stuff and making it look nice. If that's what I thought then I would be extremely pissed and would have called our HR hotline.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Interview-ma for Calli and Glam!
Both dresses are cute, but #1 seems more drink and dance night, although it IS really nice. I like stripey dress for a conference.
UGH, askye! I would be all FEMINIST HULK SMASH! Grr...

Thrive to spite them
The positive side to that is all the co workers I vented to were male and they all said P shouldn't have said it and was wrong. And it felt sincese from them, not like they were placating the irrational woman.

That's good, askye. Otherwise, I'm sure your rageometer would have been off the charts.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Hrm, Malachi seems to have a fluid-filled lump on his back, mostly between his shoulder blades. It feels like when the vet does subcutaneous fluids, but he hasn't been to the vet in awhile. Moves around to the touch (side to side, neck to back) and doesn't seem to hurt him at all to have it poked, prodded, pinched, or smooshed around. He's eating and acting totally normally. On a scale of "he's totally fine, go to bed then get up super early for surgery yourself" to "stay up all night at the emergency pet hospital", where does this rank?
Relatedly, I'm going in for surgery tomorrow morning to resect an adenoma from my liver. First on the boards at around 7am west coast time. ~ma welcome :)
