"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I just gave a presentation to a class, came back to my desk and checked Facebook, and found a new post by a student in the class who happens to be on my friendlist, made during the class. Facebook etiquette fail, young man!

Oh, I think that warrants being called out next time.

Alas, I only do one-shot appearances in other people's classes, so there is no next time. He's a sweet kid, too. (And his post was about making plans to go see the Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown musical in NYC!)

I dunno, flea, I think the appropriate response is a comment saying "ettiquette FAIL! You posted this instead of paying exquisite attention to every word I was presenting to your class? I'm hurt."

(eta--I realize that could sound like I'm making fun of you an I'm not! Just meaning a lighthearted comment is the way to go)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would totally bust that kid!

That's worse than when I was emailing back and forth with a coworker and I realized she was on a conference call with the CEO...

Before I have to log off, I just have to post that, based on your answers, vanilla bean seems like a really good ice cream, the kind I really wish they sold here. Thanks, you guys!

Bye Nilly! Great birthday gift, to see your font in here!

I'll probably be running over to CBC & Hungry Mother tonight, so I'll toast you with a beverage (or three).

I approve!

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

I want like buttons for work emails. Someone just sent out one with a "too soon?" joke in it. I'm a sucker for that shit.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

it's amazing to me that i can do 40% of the work a co-worker and i share in 45 minutes or so and yet the remaining 60% takes her 3+ hours. of course, that could be because she stays on personal phone calls.

One of the reasons I avoid bringing a laptop to certain meetings is that I am convinced I'll accidentally bring up fb, and get busted by other coworker, including my former boss. Even as I rarely go to the internut when in meetings.

ION, I really hope that if the State's Attorney race goes the way it is looking right now, it doesn't turn into some long protracted thing. Because given how the currently losing incumbent behaved during the campaign, I wouldn't put it past her to stonewall and start throwing out accusations of fraud (which, highly unlikely.) Doesn't bode well when her spokesperson is saying "I just don't know how this could have happened." Uh, wow. Talk about a disconnect. Writing has been on the wall for a bit.

I thought the vanilla bean, coffee, and lemon ice cream was one new flavor and I was confused but intrigued. Also, as I somewhat wrongly posted in Bitches, if you're worried about the election, consider being part of GOTV efforts.
