My god, I hate our data centre. Dude, if you call me and ask me for permission to do...the next thing, you need to tell me what the next thing is. And then when I give you permission, the bit where you tell me I'm not authorised to give you permission? Is just stupid, and don't call me next time.
Joyce: And what did you do tonight? Dawn: Irritated Giles. I'm beginning to get why Buffy likes it so much.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Is Rage Nurse the really evil co-worker you have who says mean things to you? And if not, does your new position mean you won't have to deal with that mean co-worker?
Yes, and yes.
I'm actually going to miss some of her astonishingly petty and mean spirited comments. They were bracing in their transparency and intent to wound.
No, wait! I won't miss that.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I have frozen waffles, a jar of Nutella, and pumpkin spice eggnog.
This way better than my department's Christmas party, which I'm skipping due to rehearsal tonight. They've gone bowling.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Woo for JZ escaping the evil ones!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Yes, and yes.
Oooh, yay! She was pure distilled evil.
Other good stuff: The Boy brought home drugs so that I can (hopefully) unstuff my nose and breathe through it again and maybe actually get some sleep tonight for longer than 2 hours at a stretch.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Less good: I think I have developed a polish addiction. Family members may be staging an intervention.
Well if you need talking points or tricks to hide your polish, let us know. We're here to help. You, I mean. Not those people who want to keep you from pretty nails.
My sister opened my guest room medicine cabinet, where I keep the majority of my nail polish, and started laughing.
I didn't tell her about the ones in the drawer, or the the ones in the other medicine cabinet.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I got let go a half-hour early (with pay) so our office of temps could go to the Xmas party. However, I grabbed a couple of crackers and booked, so I got home early! Whoa, the equivalent of a $5 bonus....

Liese, start with Sky& Telescope. I actually suck at equipment recs (because, see, I have a handy dandy dadshaped resource....)
So, my mom has pneumonia. She was fine on Sunday! Thing is, she is really susceptible to it, having had a raging case of it a few years ago, where she probably would have been hospitalized had it not been a holiday. If she starts getting better tomorrow (they learned before to hit it hard and fast, so she's pumped full of drugs,) the dr will ok her to fly Tuesday. Poor mom.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
1) Allyson tell the Jackhole at work that if he has a lousy sex life then you will truly believe him that women are risk averse.
2) Thanks for the head's up about Charlie Brown Christmas.
I had more, but I forgot. My house is cold and I need to make dinner. I want to play on the interwebs all night, but mac wants to use the computer.
