I am the fly who dreams of the spider

ED said that if (male) boss couldn't attend the arborist tomorrow, he wanted the (male) facilities manager to do so, because he wanted someone other than me (female) to be on hand.

It took me two days to remove the inferred sexism out of his demand and to see it as "I want one of these other two qualified staff to have glorified babysitting duty so that you can do your actual job that I trust only you to do". My knee-jerk pessimism strikes again and I wish I'd stop.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I need help justifying a hot fudge sundae as big as my head.

Calcium & protein! It's practically health food!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Eat it because of all the poor sad people who don't have hot fudge sundaes as big as their head. Eat it for them, Allyson. Eat it for them.

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

What Zenkitty said. Also, by "them" I mean "me".

Poor sad people like me, for whom ice cream makes painfully ill!

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

Coincidentally, my BiL just reportedly declined to have a 6-lb milkshake. So, balance of the universe and all, someone should probably eat a sundae as big as her head.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I contributed to a crowdfunding campaign for an origami exhibition earlier this year at the Cooper Union in NYC, and my "perk" arrived today: [link]

One piece of paper, and the display surface has the fold pattern inscribed.

Now I have to figure out some way to keep the dust off.

OK, I got the instructions on how to transfer my triathlon registration. I think I am actually going to transfer to a 5K that is meant to be run with dogs, because that sounds so fun, and maybe put off the triathlon until Spring rather than try to do the October one. Which makes me feel like maybe I am malingering or sandbagging or something, but what the hell, I am only doing any of this racing stuff because I want to so who's gonna judge?

Wow, dcp, that's beautiful!

Theo, you could always get chickens. I'm given to understand that they think wasps, yellowjackets, etc. are delicious. If the crumpled paper bag doesn't work out, I mean.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am having the weirdest issue on google image searches - the whole page flips and I cannot scroll.

ION - Jesse - is there a submit link for eyecandy?

I am seriously pretty boy focused right now.
