I have to get up to speed about a big project ASAP, and I am thanking god for google, because the stuff I'm looking up is some real basic shit, and it's so nice not to have to ask a colleague.

I need motivation, because mine is partying with the others.

I am about to pomodoro, though.

Okay, okay, fine, I'll onerous.

I, too, am onerousing.

Not sure if I can call it onerous, but it was kind of silly and embarassing. A while back I had purchased tickets to see Mamma Mia. A week or so ago I realized that I had my Salt Lake City trip over that date so I called to switch the tickets. Ended up with tickets for Sunday Feb 2nd. After I finished that call I realized that they conflicted with the Super Bowl but since I'm only a bandwagon fan I figured I'd deal.

Well, now I'm not going to Salt Lake and I expect to still be on pain meds on the 2nd, so going into Denver probably isn't the best idea and I'd love to switch the tickets back to the original date - the day prior to surgery. I finally called today and explained the whole mess. He was able to find me a couple of decent seats and we are all set. And he even waived the exchange fee.

Now I just need to find someone to go with me. K-Bug has been too busy to do anything and CJ isn't interested. Le sigh.

A takedown of a men's rights blog post about the evils of women with short hair: Return of Kings: Beware the insidious danger of the short-haired girl!

No woman in all of human history has ever looked better with short hair than she would with a head full of healthy locks.

...

And, invariably, a girl who has gone through with a short cut—and is pleased with the changes in her reception—is damaged in some significant way. Short hair is a near-guarantee that a girl will be more abrasive, more masculine, and more deranged.

I am working, nothing too onerous, but nothing great either.

I had my review. Good. Not Great. Not sure if I can trust current manager on this, but he said he had to put things in about timeliness since it had been noted as an issue on the 1st 5 months of the year at my previous job. GRR. The stubborn in me says I'LL SHOW YOU! But I know I should try and find a better job for myself.

Well, I am abrasive and deranged. Especially when confronted with horsetwaddle like that.

Hubby would never say a woman is deranged etc., but he has never found a woman with short hair attractive. He has looked as some good-looking women with short hair and said, "She'd be so pretty with long hair, it's a shame." But he ascribes no spiritual or personality attributes to the choice.

edit: at least out loud.

Short hair is a near-guarantee that a girl will be more abrasive, more masculine, and more deranged.

That makes me think of this post from geekfeminism - It's Easier Now That I Look Like A Guy.

But this, oh my:

Women instinctively know this, which is why every American girl who cuts, and keeps, her hair short often does it for ulterior reasons. Short hair is a political statement.

It's true! Wait, does the ability to take a five-minute shower and use a minuscule amount of hair dye count as political statements? It's entirely possible I'm using that word wrong.

(Disclaimer: At the moment I have long hair, but in my world hair is always a temporary condition that could change without notice at any time.)
