I've started dabbling in aromatherapy for my own allergies and I am paranoid that my scent will bother someone else. I, for one, would much rather be told it's an issue than not, because I am not going to be able to guess no matter how concerned I am.

Good luck with the jobs, ita!

ETA: never had problems with getting other people's legit e-mail. Y'all just need less common names.

shrift, I'm not very happy with your people right now...

There's not much you can do when it comes to ID10T errors.

Or do they never check their mail?

People don't pay attention to all kinds of things that you'd think would be important. I think they may be the same people who try to bring giant bottles of liquids through airport security.

Damn, I knew I forgot to say something: Much job~ma, ita! I truly hope this unplanned vacation from the 9-5 grind is over soon.

Thanks, meara!

I have a Filipino person who I think is harassing me now, because I it was kind of contentious the first time they signed up with my email address--to a hacking site. That's my ita.ita.ita address.

I get a surprising amount of (>2) Facebook accounts set up with my real name and my ita.lastname email address. At least one of them has seemed entirely sincere, with pictures, and friends of people living within the area she said she did. That was easy--I messaged a friend and told them I was nuking it.

Now I just put a message on the timeline that I'll nuke it in fifteen days.

Unrelatedly, whey people started creating fonts, I wonder if they realised they'd be replacing handwriting. The lack of ability to express oneself individually through fonts is remarkable (either you can't tell them apart or it's your phD thesis in Comic Sans (I think my sister would accept that)). And the assumption that every letter should be rendered the same every time (I just got weirded out by a font that didn't--ds inside words were very different from sequential ds or ds at the start and end of words in Caflisch Script Pro.

Which would be nice, on a regular basis--have a font consist of 40+ letters for a given alphabet, maybe more. Would be nicer to read.

I would HOPE they wouldn't get cranky about it.

Back in the halcyon days of previous employer, not only was everyone especially graceful (except for the one chick with the egg sandwich) people not only cut down on certain smells, food and recreational, but my cubemate would stop people from coming in with bad smells, or deliberately eat somewhere else and mint up afterwards. I don't expect that from everyone, but it was exceptionally touching.

Damn, I was expecting Tennant to use a British accent in Grace Point. His American is wobbly.

I know, shrift. I'm just frustrated. I can't imagine living my life being that clueless.

I can usually smell her about 10 feet before she walks by me, the other will leave an ... aura ... everywhere she goes.

Yeah, someone in my condo building occasionally leaves a cologne vapor trail in the front entrance.

Job ma ita

Thanks guys that commented in the huge time it took me to compose my post.

Y'all just need less common names.

I'll get RIGHT on that.

Problem is, many of my stole-my-addy emails come in a language I don't understand--Filipino and Japanese mostly. And then there are the Irish.

I'm just frustrated. I can't imagine living my life being that clueless.

I hear you. I have a ongoing feud with some dude in Australia who keeps signing up for accounts for things like TripAdvisor and sites to sell used cars with my gmail address.

I see people doing really dumb stuff a lot. Standing in the middle of a busy intersection to text, for one. Another was the guy who was walking along, staring at his phone, heading for the escalator ... only he didn't notice he was about to try to go up the down escalator and was quite surprised when he stepped on and got moved backwards.

In non-idiot news, job ma for ita!
