You can tell yourself you're enjoying the parts lifted from Marvin Gaye.

I haven't heard the song all the way through or seen the video, so my highly informed understanding was that it was specifically the video that was problematic, not the song itself.

Eh, parts of the song are all "you know you want it" and about how she's a good girl but he just has to convince her she wants it, etc etc. Which is indeed a bit "No means Yes".

But I will go with the "marvin gaye' answer, I like it! Last night at dancing they played the WEIRDEST remix of--it was like we were supposed to POLKA to it. Which, no.

I have gotten so when people talk about Blurred Lines, I get Got to Give It Up in my head.

...but then, who's got to give what up??

I've never understood the people who think that they should get $90 for something that's $100 new.

I have to pat myself on the back because, while I may not have done the one work task that's been on my to-do list forever, I did delete or file more than 1000 emails today.

Could someone who understands taxes better than I explain something about the same sex IRS ruling? In Utah, you have to file your state taxes with the same category as you do your federal taxes. I can't file jointly as fed and single on my state. How do people who are legally married but not in the state they're living in get around that? Or is that a state by state thing?

Married same-sex couples in MA would file married to the state and single to the feds, so, essentially lying to the federal government. And I know at least one couple who manipulated stuff to their greatest advantage for the feds. (Like, the one with the least income claimed all the childcare expenses or whatever.)

I just walked around and told all my coworkers to leave if they aren't working. We are salaried! Nothing is happening! We are officially dismissed in 15 minutes! Why are we sitting here??

Of course, the simplest solution is "don't live in a state that doesn't recognize your marriages," but not everybody gets that option.

So I've come back form French class and everyone in me section has gone and they didn't leave me a note! Bastards!

Bastards!

Bâtards! Come on!

Ortho appointment in ninety minutes. And my phone will tell me when I need to leave to get there. Why won't it tell me to leave now, though? When can I get that Android upgrade?

I think everyone is nicer to me in the new job, even my old job. Old boss asked me to do old job next weekend, and I couldn't say no (only remotely qualified person is being mother of groom then). I got bounced back onto the support SWAT team, the analyst I fought with keeps coming over to visit (twice so far today), the guys in the new area are offering me all sorts of help and stuff.

Wait, maybe it's the foot and absence making the heart fonder. I shouldn't jump to conclusions. So to speak.
