Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

yup - it'd been lying on the strip of grass between the street and the sidewalk that long - I walked by it every morning on my way to the bus (there's a local blog that always posts the last tree of the year ... and this seems to have set a record)

As a follow-up to the unwanted task ... guy in question came back from one of his jaunts and the boss spoke with him ... much furor, complaining, justifications ... basically a temper tantrum ... but I'm not doing his expense reports, so I can just smile and go on.

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

Wow on the tree. Yay on not getting stuck doing that guy's expense reports!

Hair color report - went with turquoise and purple yesterday, with more foils, because that will go with my troupe's costuming for Saturday. Pic on FB. The dye is called Pulp Riot and is showing up well in my hair without bleach, we'll see how it fades if I take some care to rinse with cold water.

Also try using non-chlorinated water ... the local tap water is heavily chlorinated, especially in warm weather, and my hair was getting really unpleasant looking. So, yeah, I'm using bottled water on my hair.

Also color safe shampoo does make a big difference I've found (not that I can tell as much with brown dye but with the blue it does)

Yay not doing that guys expenses! That sounded like it would be a cluster.

I am so tired. The weather is not helping. I just want it to be the weekend already.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I am such a bad employee right now, you guys. My focus is not so much. I would say that I should take the rest of the week off, but I don't really expect next week to be better.

I've been in Buffy fandom since 1997, and ours is the only group of fans I've run across going by the name Buffistas.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, Debet, do you have other news to share with the group? You said trifecta, right??

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Hey, Debet, do you have other news to share with the group? You said trifecta, right??

I was wondering the same thing.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Remember how earlier this week I mentioned getting yanked off a project? Well, today, the professor on another project treated me, the instructional designer, and the video guy to bubbly and Chinese food to thank us for our awesome work. I'm getting career feedback whiplash. Still, I guess it's better to start on the bad note and end on a good one.
