I am cracking up that Ben Cohen posted enthusiastically to facebook about getting invited to a Scissors Sisters concert and meeting the band backstage.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

Yeah, it's a wet, cold, occasionally icy slick mess outside today in my area. I'm working from home, and trying to decide whether to go to my book group meeting tonight. On one hand, the temperature should be a few degrees above freezing, so I won't have black ice worries. On the other hand—cold, wet, with added darkness. Idonwanna.

On the back of yesterday's swearing-at-work conversation...it would be wrong of me to set up a rule in Outlook to respond to all of a particular individual's emails with "FUCK OFF," right? Even if the person in question really deserves to hear it?

Ever so tempting, Jessica.
Though my boss sent me something yesterday (forwarded a "this is how we do things" email I'd already gotten a while back) that I thought was a big "you suck". And replied in a "No, actually you suck because I can't do that part in this way at that place, HAHAH" sorta way. Except then I opened another email from her, and realized I did suck, and did do something ELSE wrong, and that's why she sent it. Oops.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Telling people to FUCK OFF is one of my favorite things about email! I can tell them to fuck off out loud, where they can't hear me.

Done! Well, queued. Too bad the queue seems to be broken and is not actually auto-publishing like it's supposed to....

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

Oh, good, it's not just me.

On the cussing topic, I just had a woman say "fricking" in a job interview.
And then she caught herself and said "I can't believe I just said that! In an interview! Who does that??!?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Did you tell her she would have gotten geek cred if she had used frelling or frakking?
