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.
The fabric stores have started to make Christmassy noises.
hisses, backs away into the shadows
Yes, I know, crafters need extra lead time. But dammit, at least give me my Halloweeny things a few weeks before the holly and peppermint start showing up!
Oh, my. I found myself poking around LinkedIn for the first time since I got my current job, and I saw that my work nemesis at my previous job has made manager. This is a person who never saw a deadline she couldn't miss and who, as a communications professional, didn't like to communicate via email because then her commitments were in writing and people could hold her to them. I'm suddenly far less disappointed that I got laid off from that job. And now I see why at least three other people in that department are making less than discrete inquiries about openings elsewhere. [Does the "not my circus, not my monkeys" dance.]
I feel like I need a bubble. Too many heavily scented people at the airport. My lungs are still on edge after last week's asthma issues and I'm just finishing a course of Pednisone. Thankfully my inhaler and an iced latte (cold caffeine for the win) are calming my lungs.
In the stores I frequent, the Halloween fabric will still be there right up to Halloween. Crafters also need last minute help. FWTW.
Tried that taco-shells-in-the-oven recipe that has been floating around the inter webs. So far I am not impressed, but have not actually eaten yet, so I suppose it might win me over. Pleased with my filling though - chili lime marinated pork, cooked for 24 hours then chopped and simmered with sour cream and cilantro (I like it and no one else has to eat this!). Looking forward to lunch.
There's nothing wrong with cilantro.
Gud, are you trying to start a riot??
"not my circus, not my monkeys"
Did I tell you guys about the Best Buy employee who said that to my mother? Even better, he said "As they say, 'Not my circus, not my monkeys,'" and my mother was like who says that????? He said, "I do?" It was cute.
Dammit, that comic sans infestation is back.
Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
That saying is taped up right in front of me at work, because I have this horrible habit of getting all agitated and jumping in to help people who are having problems with their work, and then not getting my work done!
"As they say, 'Not my circus, not my monkeys,'"
My friend Howard says it's a Polish proverb. He put it in his webcomic. My Polish friend says she never heard it before. I just think it's funny.
