Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I was in the Toronto airport yesterday afternoon and wondering if I would run in to you.
Ha! I actually flew into the regional airport in Kitchener. While it's convenient, it doesn't have Pearson's free wifi and Duty Free where I can buy all the chocolate.
And my roommate tells me that painters are coming tomorrow, so I guess I won't even try to work from home on Friday. Ugh.
meara, refrigerator repairman. Best if you can get one from the company that made the fridge. If not, try Sears; I think they work on most everything.
Travel~ma to those a-travelin'.
Theo, job~ma!
I do long slow burn angry. Possibly even cold. I don't let go, but I'm not really explosive either.
I don't do explosive anger; I'm too repressed. I can do the slow cold burn, though. My boss once told me that when I get really angry, my throat turns red and my voice drops an octave. Then she leaves me alone, and lets me go home if I want to. Only happened a couple times; I try to use my Rage powers responsibly.
Job~ma, Theo!
And if you could pass some of that back to me around 4pm EDT, please, that would be helpful. I get to present to a hiring committee.
Ooh, that sounds promising. Good luck, Calli!
Ooh, good luck to you as well, Calli!
I'm looking to get my hair cut, and I thought it was time to try something a little higher on the scale than Great Clips. So I found a couple of places, and the reviews use words like Trendy and Hip. I am neither of those things, and I feel like they're not going to be pleased to see a middle-aged fat woman when their preferred clientele is probably cute college students. On the other hand, I probably have more money than the cute college students ("I'm older and I have better insurance"), but I do occasionally lose my aplomb when confronted with objective assessments of my physicality.
I suppose I can just go in and say "I need a better salon, and you're recommended." Appeal to their own ego.

You'd be surprised. Most stylists don't have a preference for model-pretty girl. They really want to make you look good and happy with the experience.
I suppose there are some stylists who fall short of that ideal, but the ones I know love doing it because they feel privileged to make people feel good.
I tend to think "trendy" and "hip" are buzzwords for "we'll give you that haircut that is so hot right now even if it looks terrible on you because it's what you desperately want."

You'd be a better tipper and probably an easier haircut, so I can't imagine why they wouldn't want you as a client.
First part went OK, even if I couldn't remember the grammar for expanding an array. Or ".indexof()" SIGH. The interviewer is convinced that I can program, though, so he's calling me back in about 45 minutes.
