Jilli, I think I agree with omnis's objection there.
ION, my officemate just left for a week in California, and my advisor is in Europe and isn't coming back for another few days, which means that I get a few days of work with no interruptions!
Although, I really need to clean my apartment. Yesterday, my neighbors got locked out of their apartment, and they needed to find a locksmith, and I let them use my laptop and phone to find the numbers and call, but I had to do that all while sitting in the hallway, because my apartment was too messy for me to feel comfortable inviting them in. What I need to do is just set aside a full day to clean everything, but I never seem to have a full day free -- there's always something else more important.
Hil, may you have a very productive week, and may your officemate come back from his trip having learned some manners.
I ordered my new digital camera today! It's a Sony Cybershot! It is supposed to be a birthday gift to myself, but I ordered it early because I decided I NEEDED it for the F2F.
Some good old-fashioned dog~ma for Ginger. And coping~ma
{{{Ginger}}} tons of -ma for you and your doggie.
As for omnis' objection (spoiler font, in case... I don't know): as a person who's coming from one of the main places for persons-with-sensibilities-to-the-H-word, the main excuse I heard for "don't tattoo/don't write things on your hand/body with a pen" was that.
It took me until highschool to get that shit out of my system. I have much stronger reasons not to tattoo myself (Hey, Pain and Eternity!), but especially these days, when most Holocaust survivors are dead and tattoos are very common, I think it's rude to interfere with others' private life style choices. If you know you're going to meet Holocaust survivors, yes, wear something to cover that tattoo. I think that this "don't tattoo/write stuff with pen on yourself" is in the way of private/personal freedom more than it's likely to be in the face of another Nazi policy victim.
That, of course, is only my opinion. When I have to write something important and there's no paper around me, that's objection is the first thing that comes to my mind.
doggie ~ma for you Ginger.
Ya for SJ getting new camera for f2f!!
Dog~ma and coping~ma to you, Ginger.
