I don't have any reason to think I am at all Irish, but I can't rule it out. I have a lot of ancestors, after all, and they moved around and married outside their birth cultures a lot. Could be anything in that family tree.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Someone just asked me if I know anything about "Project Shield" that apparently my work is doing. I was like "ARE THERE AVENGERS?!?!?!?"
I swear I would have muttered Hail Hydra as they left. You can put me in an office but you can't make me act professional.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Went to the eye doctor, and bifocals are in my future, but not yet. Since my distance vision is basically the same, I think I'm just going to get computer glasses for now and keep the main ones the same. That feels awkward, but we'll see. For now, my eyes are all dilated, so I can barely see the computer screen....

I don't know if I could actually bring myself to say that out loud!

I have computer glasses and I like them! definitely makes a difference for that in between distance. I am doing okay with just taking off my glasses for close up seeing and reading.
Start throwing out the occasional "On your left", Jesse. Maybe don't bring up Tahiti.

Who the fuck designs a web based app that allows you to paste image data, but doesn't actually save it to the server? And displays it as long as you're in that login session, so you think it's been saved? What the fucking fuck?!?
And. AND! Instead, you have to upload the individual files to another location through a multi-step process (and no batch mode) and the go "discover" it in the app. And it only takes .png. And of course, my image grabber in .tiff. So first I have to go remake all the goddamned images, convert (at least a batch mode for that) then waste my goddamned time loading them, then go link to them.
testlink is a piece of shit.
I hate everything.

(I know that's all gibberish, but I spent most of today trying not to scream at the computer and actually banging my head on the desk.)

And I was going to plant the buckets this weekend except they're calling for snow Sunday night.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Health-ma to lisah's father.
I understood that, sarameg, and you have my sympathies.
I have some percentage of Irish on my father's side and my wife is half-Irish, but I failed to wear green today (though I did support my Finnish heritage by wearing purple yesterday) because we have to wear ties at work and I have neither a green tie nor green dress shirt.
Having one of those "Fuck you Facebook friend of a friend!" moments right now. Someone is going off on how "rape culture is feminazi bullshit, BTW women rape men too" in response to something my brother posted and I know from past experience that engaging this person is an exercise in futility.
Though I am tempted to ask him if his fedora is a little too tight.
(Side rant: as a long time fedora-wearer it pisses me off that these MRA douche bags have taken it as their symbol.)
