And Boss just came by and said it's a shame there are no dividers. Suh-core. We will get something.
Also, today is Leverage day, and the previews show both Luke Perry and Parker crying. I hope for mighty revenge.

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

Ann, that's a ferret.
The only Sandy Dennis movie I can think of is Up the Down Staircase. Which hits none of those elements whatsoever. Except possibly the snow.

There's a Sandy Dennis movie called....wait for it.... The Fox. IMDB summary:
Based on D.H. Lawrence's novella about two young women - sickly, chattering Jill Banford and quiet, strong Ellen March - who are trying, hopelessly, to run a chicken farm in Canada. A gentle but powerful man Paul Renfield who used to live on their farm returns and puts things in order. But his proposal of marriage to Ellen awakens the lesbianism dormant in the girls: Jill uses her weakness to make Ellen feel protective, and the women become active lesbians

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Thank you! I suppose I could have looked it up, but I also like to talk about things here.
Now off to find a picture.

Aargh. I think I am going to have to buy the movie to figure out what costume I am thinking of. Or if I completely imagined it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Whoohoo! One of the developers emailed the guy in charge of the move and asked for dividers. Ballsier than I am, that's for sure. We should be getting some eventually.
What about privacy screens for your monitor, at least?

I have not seen a privacy screen anywhere in this company. Which is weird, now that I think about it. But this place also doesn't give out blackberries, so I definitely think they're odd. All my other jobs have given remote access portable devices.
I just jacked up my resolution to 1800x1440 (I purloined a 21" monitor in the move) which usually works well for first-level obfuscation.

ita, my boyfriend's new job is VP at a company and I was shocked that not only does the company not dole out communication devices, they're on desktops!!

Ack! At least everyone here, pretty much is on a laptop. And it's mandatory that we take them home every night. Business continuity. It's a clunky beast, though, and wireless doesn't work, and the screen locks after 15 minutes of inactivity so it's kind of irritating.
I got so used to having a blackberry even for just toting around the office and knowing when and where my next meeting was going to be. I think some people have email forwarded to their personal devices, but I maintain separation of church and state as much as possible. They want bandwidth, they can pay for it.
