'Potential'
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.
This is why my office dedicates a day to it! You might get some work done that day, but not much, and that's what's expected!
That's what we always used to do, at least for an hour or two, but this year they are changing things up. Not pleased about it.
Aw, Connie, that's a drag. I recommend Jello. Or add unflavored gelatin to broth, that makes it a lot tastier and more filling.
I went to work at the bakery this morning as Rosie the Riveter, and I swear half the people in the first two hours didn't seem to realize I was in costume.
I went to the office Halloween potluck as a plague doctor. The outfit was a hit. Not as much a hit as the Pegasus-unicorn with LEDs in her mane. But that's hard to compete with.
Plague doctor is a classic!
One person got my costume without needing to be told who I was. One! Most people have appreciated it once I clued them in, though.
After they had already voted, people all started looking closely at my costume and going, "Oh, I get it! That's so great!", so somebody else won the costume contest. I got to vent for a sec in a friend's office so I'm mostly okay, but still a little hacked off. (Prize was a $50 GC, plus I tend to be pretty competitive. Sometimes it better when I just don't compete).
Connie, TCG did that last week. Good luck. I was jealous he was allowed to drink clear liquids. When I had mine all I was allowed to drink was a gallon of the prep stuff.
Plague doctor is creepy!!!
Ok, how do I say to one of my fb friends that her child's Halloween costume is inappropriate and kinda racist? (former in person friend in our 20s, haven't seen her in over ten years, she has an 8 year old with some extreme special needs, so I know she picked the costume: it's a fake "Indian headdress" of feathers and a fringed buckskin sort of shirt). I'm in no way close to her but feel like I have to say something??
I just ordered a grocery delivery of apple juice, consomme, jello, and instant miso. I'll make myself strain out the tofu and onion bits. I totally forgot about miso soup.
Ugh, meara. Maybe send her a link to a good article on the subject backchannel?
If you don't know her well I would let it go, meara. It could be that the child is super into "Indians" and she is catering to him. It is hard to tell from afar all the circumstances.
