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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Perfect, thanks. Except I think the only people paying attention to the conversation anymore are me and the other fannish co-worker. Maybe we scared everyone off by telling them about rule 34?

(My other problem, of course, is distinguishing between fan jargon and Buffista jargon. I frequently can't remember which is which, and since I bitch about work here I want to keep the two separate...)

What is with this week and me being pulled into calls to play the heavy?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

one of my colleagues had a discussion with her advisee (a graduate student, I should note) about why women go to strip clubs. I would not have had this discussion with my advisees, but oh well.

Anyway, the advisee mentioned she herself went to strip clubs. Colleague asked: "why do you go to strip clubs?'

Answer: "I like the chicken wings."

So...when my colleague told me the above, without exaggeration, I laughed for 15 minutes straight until I could hardly breathe. I think that is the most hilarious response to an earnest question on the topic that I could ever imagine.

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

Timelies all!

There were doughnuts and bagels at lab retreat part 3 this morning. I had bits of one that was the sweetest thing ever. It was cream filled, had green frosting and Oreo bits on top. Tasty, but made my teeth hurt.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am starving, but there's no sign of husband. To compensate, I had Girl Scout cookies.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That seems reasonable.

Did I mention I am picking up another account? Kind of a big one, dollar-wise, too. I hope this is not about to become an overwhelming amount of work. It might be.

Meanwhile, those zombies are not going to chase themselves. Or will they? I don't really know what zombies get up to if there aren't any humans around.

I think I have not actually congratulated brenda "out loud" yet. Woo, brenda, that is super impressive!

YAy brenda!

We passed accreditation on Tuesday, I think. Nothing official but it looks like we should be okay.

To celebrate, I left work early and bought two bras. Which, together, cost more than a car payment. Went to Jenette Bras in Pasadena: [link] where they nice patient women were nice and patient with me. I love that they carry 26E as a bra size (though I have no need of that).
