IF you were going to describe your decorating ethos in a few words, how would you?
Books, strange artwork, bold color choices, comfy.
I am weirdly outraged at the news that Burger King might buy Tim Horton.
I am plain old outraged. That ain't right.
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Why is my company still supporting a program that's 8 years old!
Why am I still working on Windows XP? IDK.

Ummmm, hand-me-downs, inexpensive but not cheap, and add me to the cat hair club.

Oh, I wish this person was on XP. No, we're on Vista. The program knows how to cope with XP.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've never heard of Tim Horton, but this still pisses me off. Burger King wants to exploit a tax loophole that will save them billions in taxes by merging with a foreign company.

Lots of companies have been doing this recently--it's costing the US tons in lost tax revenue.

I'm surprised Canada's tax rate would be lower than ours!

KPMG ranked Canada first among 10 countries for general tax competitiveness this year, saying tax costs in Canada are 46.4% lower than the U.S. The U.S. has federal corporate tax rate of 35%. Including Canada’s 15% rate, Ontario has a provincial corporate tax rate of 26.5%.
Huh.

Note to self: more responsibility means they like you. It is not the universe saying "Let's give her another opportunity to fail and look like an idiot."

I'm going through the same thing. We should start a club! (My boss told me today it usually takes editors 18 months to get totally up to speed on all the style points. The AMA style manual is an actual published hardbound book and it is enormous.) So all my articles come back with lots of feedback pointing out where I missed stuff. So frustrating. But then my boss says "Good job!" and gives me longer stuff to edit. So...I know she has faith in me and believes I can do it. But it *feels* like an opportunity to fail and look like an idiot.
