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.
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

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'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.

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