Someone ELSE dressed in blackface? Is there a stupidity quota we haven't hit yet?

ION, stupid things my boss lady has done:

-decided that the visiting garden club would be offended by the chalk drawings on the driveway from this weekends fall festival, and so she spent time and water that is not free washing it off. I think the garden club peeps would be the best crowd to understand water conservation.

-when I brought her the high pressure nozzle, instead of using the shut off lever on the end of the hose, she sent the intern all the way over to the spigot. She made the working intern stop working while she stood and waited in order to attach the nozzle.

-when done with her silly task, she stood at the spigot and waited while the intern was made to release the pressure at the nozzle end, and then had the intern jiggle the hose for about two minutes to "get rid of all the extra water" so she, boss lady, wouldn't get sprayed when unscrewing the hose at the spigot, when leaving the other end of the hose open would have done the trick and would only have taken one person.

I think that's it for today.

Is there a stupidity quota we haven't hit yet?

Apparently we're not even close. I can't believe two members of the Teen Wolf cast made the same stupid call (and no, 'Colton Haynes has some non-white blood' doesn't make shit okay. *I* can dress in blackface and be offensive, for fuck's sake. But luckily I'm more a White Girls sort of a chick.)

What happened with teen wolf?

I know it's a trivial issue to find company on the internet, but this is the sort of reason I find what we're told (distinguishing that from what's actually legal) WRT mobile phone usage while driving. They're really hitting "texting while driving" hard, and I don't dispute that it's the best way to go--I just find it somewhat depressing to consider that the specific problem is so bad that a general anti-distracted-driver campaign would be considered less effective.

Good Stuff?

That is pretty cute.

What happened with teen wolf?

Colton Haynes has gone out as Mahatma Ghandi and Kanye West so far. Holland Roden was bashful in comparison--she was one of many doing tacky photo ops at "Pow Wow" party. I can't find a picture of her in specific accessory headdress, but that was the foofurrah.

Burrell, my belated condolences. Be kind to yourself.

Swim was short by kid barfing in lessons. I hate the start of a new session, there is always a new kid who hasn't acclimated/ got fed too much before lessons.

All I got.

Oh, I made a really tasty dinner, and it wasn't salad! I wanted soup; been craving it for a couple days. Took some miso-ginger broth, brought to a boil, toss in 3-4 handfuls of shredded cabbage, some black pepper and a little soyaki sauce (to make it spicier) until the cabbage softened but still had crunch. At the end, I tossed in some veggie gyoza that I'd cooked dry in the micro (to dry out the wrappers a bit) and dumped it all over baby spinach, and let that wilt.

Turned out better than I thought it might. Though, I guess it could be just considered a hot salad given I used about the same amount of greenery as I usually do...
