I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Daisy, that's why I thought the original was her family too, since they were both Karas!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Update: still don't want to work! Feh.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Oh. My. God.

I am now having the earlier frustration with the second half of those departments.

Now that PR has started talking to marketing, they've discovered they may have missed something and now Marketing wants to know if we can put something up. This means a graphic would need to be created, copy written, creative reviewed, legal reviewed and ready to go by no later than EOD today. Not. Going. To. Happen.

Luckily for them I actually did spot what they missed and that graphic is already in the CR-just not in the spot they're asking for now. In fact it was because of stuff like this that I don't try to coordinate their stuff anymore.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

People who are not working are being loud around me. GO AWAY!

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

Ha ha ha ha. Right.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

smonster, I know they are doing an OCD study here at Hopkins

Thanks for the link. I did find some good stuff. I may need to join a group. What I read confirmed what I suspected, which is that enabling the OCD is Not a Good Thing and only reinforces the behavior.

DJ, what a PITA. Hang in there! Yay for Friday.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Ugh. I hate that. My cube is sort of on one of the main routes through our office. People are constantly pedeconferencing past me. It's one of the reasons self-laugher drives me so crazy.

I should not have to shout "GET A (conference)ROOM!" at work.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

It will be fine, as it was already caught, and they'll just have to deal with the placement issue, because while, yeah the designer could probably resize and redo a comp 1)I'm not making him do that because he's busy and it's not his fuckup. 2)It would look like crap and that would be on him. So, nope. Not going to do it.

I did tell them both that it might behoove them to look at the rest of December to make sure Promotions are covered.

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

I'm near one of the exits to the lobby, and actually got to overhear a great pedeconference a couple hours ago. Someone else trying to do an end run to the big boss. Tsk, tsk.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

The Galaxy Dress is composed of 24,000 LEDs, each measuring two by two millimeters, attached to four layers of chiffon and forty layers of crinoline. The whole thing can be powered by a few iPod batteries for up to an hour. It’s one of the recent creations of CuteCircuit, a design firm specializing in “wearable technology.”

Don't wear that to the airport! Especially in Boston.
