Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Pretty much. In general, go short. They love short. No more than a couple of pages.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

This makes me smile.

No more than a couple of pages.

Thanks. That's what I figured.

Because books.

The picture against the ice cream case is the best one.

I love that one has on purple socks with his tux and the other is barefoot. I agree about the ice cream case picture.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So good.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Bleah. I'm fighting a cold.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I finally ended up having a talk with ED about boss lady. Good talk. Made me hopeful. Now I just need to pin down the boss lady and have another talk, and be frank and vulnerable and humble. Something the ED said really struck a chord in me, about how, being through what I've been through, so many ups and downs and going through bosses like kleenex, the way to weather all that is to stay safe, but in order to make positive change, I need to be unsafe, and put myself out there for confrontation and frank conversation about how I feel about our professional relationship. And I can see that, because that is fucking scary to me, and staying safe (bottling everything up and having polite passive aggressive battle of wills) is the wrong way to go.

The humble part comes from me letting go of my "I know how this shit is done, I've been doing it way longer than you, and I'm frightened that if I don't, you'll fuck shit up that I already know how to not fuck up" and just allowing her to make her own mistakes, and he's given me permission allowed to let that happen. So.

OMG, I am fucking exhausted -- an interview at the end of the day is hard! Also, I got so screwed by the cab company, I was late, which was mortifying, but I still think they like me. Apparently the staff really liked me last week, so we'll see what the boss thought today.
