Shenanigans! I probably shouldn't laugh but this email from a vendor at a trade show/conference we're presenting at:
You may have received an announcement this afternoon claiming [Company] is is not going to PRSM due to "financial considerations". This is simply NOT TRUE. Last time "they" used a fake Hotmail account to send out a similar falsehood. This time they used a fake Yahoo account.
I'm deeply sorry you have to deal with the shenanigans of what is a very immature person(s) with such low integrity. We pride ourselves on being honest and dedicated to our customers and good partners in our industry.
Thank you for disregarding this weak attempt to misdirect your loyalty.
Who knew retail facility maintenance was so hardcore?
Wow, that's some high level shade!
Wheee! Finally had enough of a breather to do my taxes on the office computer, and I'm getting back $300 more than I did last year. Which will just about pay for the new dishwasher my parents need.
I like to think that W has been positively influenced by his daughters.
I have my blue extensions! I posted a picture to FB and have a small bet with myself about my mother's reaction. I'm guessing it will start with a somewhat ambiguous "Wow."
Yay Dana!
I found a quiet wine bar in Petaluma and it turns out it's singer-songwriter night. Which is still better than watching the SOTU.
My training is at the same place where all the cooks for my agency get trained. As a result the cafeteria food is Awesome. Today I had swordfish with white beans for $4.85. Plus they have free Its-Its!
... I just got a free cookie from one of the singer songwriter people. The evening is looking up!
This is the time of year when I feel a little bereft that I've never tried paczki, but they aren't really a thing in LA.
So, Burrell, the are too hard to find here, though you can find plenty of Armenian bakeries that make an approximation called a ponchik. I had one today filled with nutella.
I bought paczki for my crew today. There were nutella/chocolate, raspberry, and key lime.
This morning I got a very nice email from the Associate Lighting Designer of the pre-Broadway show we did last season (now in tech on Broadway) telling us that all the set electrics that we wired worked perfectly right off the truck, but everything built or modified in NY was a disaster. So that was nice. For us. Less so for them.
I have my blue extensions!
Nice! I think I've settled on a color scheme for my hair if I ever get around to having it done. I'd like the bulk of it to be the auburn I'd be if I ever spent time in the sun except for the white streaks at my temples which I'd like to make whiter and more pronounced.

Courtesy of my grandmother, here's a quick Polish lesson: "Paczki" (without an -s on the end) is the plural, pronounced (more or less) "poonch-key". "Paczek" is the singular, pronounced (more or less) "pon-chek".
And the only reason I busted in here with Polish pedantry is because the Armenian ponchik sounds so much like the pronunciation for "paczek" (the singular for paczki).
Polish lesson over. (I also know how to say "My ass is full" in Polish, but I sure can't spell it.)
