Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
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.
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%."

Sorry for the syzygy of difficulties, Theo.
I'm wearing a light peach shirt and eating tortellini with a red sauce. So far, so go, but I'm not making any bets on the shirt remaining clean.

Woo hoo! Go Maine!

During D.C. hearing on same-sex marriage, witness interrupts by proposing to his partner.
The D.C. City Council held a hearing yesterday on a bill allowing same-sex couples to marry in the nation’s capital. However, the hearing was briefly interrupted when witness Andy Hertzberg stopped to propose to his partner. “I would like to take a huge step in my own life,” Hertzberg said. “Andy [Rollman], I’d like to ask you: Will you marry me?” One marriage equality opponent was outraged that they would show their love for one another, saying that for “something like this” to happen in the Council’s chambers, it showed a lack of “respect.” According to the local ABC report, however, most council members were supportive of the proposal.
There is also a video.
Didn't spill the pasta, but I did just throw it all up into the garbage can. Ugh. Don't know why--it wasn't in my stomach long enough to be food poisoning, and it wasn't anything I hadn't eaten before (a few tortellini, veggies, and red sauce).
