Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

100% is the correct answer!

Fortunately, I'm wearing purple and brown. Not a clothing disaster.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

does anyone else feel really disconnected right now?

Yes. Goodness, yes. For me, it's a change of work. New school, new kids, new coworkers. And, this school does not have staff meetings which on the one hand, yay! On the other, it's hard to get to know people. And, I used to co-teach a class, so I had that comraderie which is now gone. Also, I think the 45 mile (each way) commute is a big factor.

What color of clothing are you wearing? If you are wearing white or some other very light color, then the chances increase greatly.

I subscribe to these same laws of physics.

tomato particles are attracted to fabric molecules. Esp white fabric.

If you are wearing white or some other very light color, then the chances increase greatly.

Both of these statements are completely accurate.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Didn't you just recently have a similarly shitty customer service experience at a car dealership?

No, that was you.

(Sorry)

Ha, I know, it WAS me, but it was also Tep! Or someone who went to a dealership and was very rudely told she was in the wrong place and was not believed when she told them that the website, then, had the wrong address.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I discovered I have a pair of white pants (I went into a fugue of clothes buying a couple springs ago) and I'm terrified to wear them because lunch will kill them. Also white pants=CSI:Miami to me, but I know it's not so bad on women.

Big all hands meeting went fine. Office is a lot quieter now, but I don't think people are as worried as they were two hours ago. I still haven't heard how it affects my particular project, but I think it is more likely to affect my chances of getting hired afterwards than interrupting the project itself--I just can't predict how.

Turnout high in Maine

Maine Secretary of State Matt Dunlap told me just now that turnout there is far exceeding his projections -- news that would be good news for backers of same-sex marriage.

"We're seeing heavy and very steady turnout," he said, attributing the surprise to the contested vote on a "people's veto" of a same-sex marriage law driving Mainers to the polls.

The city of Bangor -- Maine's third largest, and likely to tilt against repeal -- is projecting turnout over 50%, he said, and local analysts have said that higher turnout would likely favor the marriage law.

"I think we could be over 50%" for the state," Dunlap said. "We originally projected 35%."
