Open the kimono makes me hurl. Ew. Sexist AND racist at the same time, whee intersectionality?
Yes and yes and yes. Absolutely loathe that phrase, and everyone I've ever heard use it.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I should clarify that I'm at an industry event, not an internal event. Still, I need to find a way to tell people that language is not okay.

I've only ever heard it here, as well.

Indeed. There should be contact information for conference organizers somewhere in the material, I should think. Good luck!

I've probably only heard it in the wild three or four times. I'm glad some of you haven't.

Basically I don't want to start a shitstorm on Twitter with my personal account, but I also don't want to let it go.

Yeah, honestly, given how badly such shitstorms tend to go, I'd be reluctant - better to drop a word to the organizers directly.

It's like Brigadoon for vintage nerds. So magical.
I want to go THERE. Also, I suspect that's the retirement plan for myself and a few friends.

Smile for the day - ARP Chief and I causing trouble for my co-chair. Somehow she ended up without any action items after our last meeting while Chief and I had a bunch. So when she asked us to approve the minutes, we both went on with requests for font changes, color coding, printing on color paper...all kinds of smart-ass requests. Usually she is the smart-ass of the group and I think she is cracking up that Chief is giving as much back to her (she is kinda used to it from me).
Gotta find ways to have fun on a Monday morning.

not your mom's socks.
So, going back in for ye olde ultrasound tomorrow morning for a repeat of some problems I had a couple years ago. I so want it to be nothing, or easily resolvable, or even 'hey we can fix that by taking out those parts you don't even need anymore' - even though that's kind of scary too. Anything that doesn't involve really scary stuff. I'm so tired of this.
