ISTG, the person who invents hair dye that only sticks to grays will make a fortune.
Yeah, that's a tough problem. I tried it once and that's why I had to change my last name to Anderson and move to Idaho.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I had a Revenge of Matilda moment this morning when I went to comb my hair and got purple stripes in my white hair. (It washed out after a brief moment of grumpy panic.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
omg. Flight arrived around midnight. Got home a little after 1. Checked email and my work wants me to attend a 9:30 meeting. Got to sleep some time after 2. 5:30, big heavy piece of furniture falls in bedroom, waking me, husband, and the dog we're dog-sitting for. Dog is scared of noise, so it takes forever for him to calm down. No idea what time I got back to bed. Despise the whole world.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh dear, Dana. That is terrible.

I KNEW IT.

And of course NO ONE is in the 9:30 meeting yet.

My office recently switched to a new tech support company. There have been, shall we say, issues. This morning everyone arrived to find that, due to some changes the tech support people made, we have no office email. Which has brought most of us to a standstill.
We have someone on-site working on it ... hopefully, we'll be up and running before COB today.

Yep, looks like no meeting. This is the price I pay for having fun at con, isn't it.
Jesus, Toddson. I guess you all just sit there and twiddle your thumbs all day?

Wow, no email is bad.

Dana, that is pure evil.
if the rest of your hair is dark, any semi-permanent dye (Manic Panic, Splat!, Special Effects, etc.) will dye your gray and leave a "gloss" of sheer color over the rest. If you're blonde (or pale ash brown, as I apparently am), the semi-perm will visibly stain your hair.

This also sucks. I suppose you can't just read a book until it comes back up, can you?
Thanks, Jilli! My natural hair color is very dark. I don't think anything will take to it without bleaching it first, but I didn't know if the semi-permanents would cover gray.
Today is TCG's first day back to work after our vacation to Cape Cod. I have made one onerous phone call, and I'm trying to figure out what I should be feeding a 1 year old. Every book has a different answer. Fun.
