I have been working very hard all day on various emergencies. Given that my sinuses are aching so much that I want to claw my face off, I think I'm going to head home early and work from my couch.

Jesse, go to the store!

Thank you! I did!!

I had no idea there were so many Canadian accents. Strong French, all-but-standard-broadcast-American, New Englandish, a little British, and odd pronunciation coming when I least expect it.

The lady judge on GCBBS has a terrible mid-atlantic accent that sounds like she's trying to do Kim Cattrall impression. I can't stand her. Season 2 is much better than season 1, BTW. And I think Bruno is from France. He's got a from France accent.

And that just sounds like the eastern part of Canada!

Dude, I can think of at least 7 distinct accents in NS alone! Some from just one town. Newfoundland, even crazier.

My friend was in rural Newfoundland with her Nova Scotian husband and they stopped at a Tim Horton's and before they went in she said to him, "Just let me do all the talking because they won't understand you and you won't understand them."

I thought she had an odd voice. Where is the lady comic relief from?

I entirely believe that guy is scared of Mr Blobby. I'd be a little bothered if it was standing in front of me and screaming.

I think Whitehall's question of "How the F--- were you allowed near kids" is entirely legit.

Today I supported a major alumni thing that, until hours before launch, was having notable technical glitches, and then I went in for my semi-annual mammogram. I think I deserve a drink. Possibly three.

Her Bio says she was born in the UK, grew up in Hong Kong and lives in LA. [link]

Something happened at work and I'm irate. I'm not supposed to know, basically I got nosy and asked someone something and she spilled because she needed to talk.

One of my coworkers was sexually harassed and threatened IN FRONT OF a manager and 2 other coworkers , one of whom is the sister of the creep who harassed her.

So "Polly" and "Amy" work in the women's department and we had a big sale and "Doris" comes in with her brother and buys a crap ton of stuff. While Amy was bagging up things Doris's brother The Creep is taking to Polly and they are off to the side. The Creep grabbed Polly's arm tryinf to talk to her and when she pulled away he pulled her closer. At some point in this he tells her (soft enough so he can't be overheard) that she's nice looking and so pretty and fresh looking.

At some point one of the manager's goes to the register to buy stuff and sees some of this.

And The Creep goes on about how Polly isn't fat like the rest of us and doesn't have a double chin and she needs to stay away from whatever food we eat so she doesn't get fat and some other shit and then tells her not to say anything or he will hurt her or come after her I can't remember but either one is horrifying. So Doris and The Creep leave and Polly asks if she can tell them what he said.

The manager was like "I was going to ask you anyway"amd she relates it. The manger foes and talks to the Assistant store manager and both Polly and Amy are called into the office separately to go on the record.

The Creep is banned from the store. I have no idea what they will tell Doris or if she will believe them and what will happen but I am ...beyond livid.

Polly is sweet and she's 17 and it honestly doesn't matter because no one deserves that.

Oh good lord, no boundaries on that one. Good for getting him banned from the store.
