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??!?
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

I might hire her based on that alone.

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?

Liv has a playdate over. I'm making them spaghetti for lunch.
I need to talk to my tattoo place to see if they can airbrush company logos on my body for my Polar Plunge. I'm going to try to get some sponsorship that way to raise more money.

I won't lie, it didn't hurt.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why the fuck don't people accept meeting invites, when they intend to attend the meeting? Or, better yet, why do they accept the invite but not send the response? That's too lame to even be passive aggressive. It's just mean.
Also, unrelatedly, I don't mind movie remakes. It's perfectly possible that *this* version could be the better one. I don't have to like The Wizard of Oz, for instance. I might like the next one.

hwæt
I don't mind remakes per se, but I do mind lazy halfassed filmmaking. Which is what 90% of the current crop of remakes are.
But True Grit looks like it's going to be awesome.

I only send a response if I know it's a small group of people (so as not to inundate the senders mailbox) or I'm actually sending a message back.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Wow, this is really cool: [link]
Yeah. I love things like that, that reveal what the brain is really up to....
