Nice job, Kathy!!

My workaholic coworker is taking next week off, and she keeps talking about it like it's really a week off, which makes me laugh. It's like she's forgotten that the rest of us will only be here for 2.5 days. Maybe 2.7, but still.

Am right with Dana. Also? I have no doubt these same people will be UP IN ARMS when there is a terrorist attack on a commercial train in America and they will be calling for SECURITY and pointing fingers.

Congrats Kathy!

Welcome to the high life, Kathy! I swear, I totally don't ever want a car payment ever again.

Dana, I'm totally with you. Though, if you want to boycott flying, go ahead. This may mean shorter security lines for me, and I'm good with that. However, causing shit in the actual security line? No, don't go there.

Also where not to go? Letting your work voicemail inbox get full. How is that even allowed? Yeah, I'm going to walk over to your company liaison and have her email you directly. I will escalate that shit right off the bat. How irritating. And your voicemail is picking up after two rings. I have absolutely zero confidence you're reachable or responsive.

Trying grapefruit Grown Up Soda today. Not very grapefruity, which is good. Yesterday's verdict was that it was too acid for my delicate tummy.

Though, if you want to boycott flying, go ahead. This may mean shorter security lines for me, and I'm good with that. However, causing shit in the actual security line? No, don't go there.

Seriously.

I swear, I totally don't ever want a car payment ever again.

My goal is to not have to buy another car for at least ten years (my Civic should last that long), and then have enough cash saved to pay cash for a slightly-used or program car. No more new cars for me!

I'm happy Colombo's "Just one more thing" was in there....

I have no doubt these same people will be UP IN ARMS when there is a terrorist attack on a commercial train in America and they will be calling for SECURITY and pointing fingers.

At least some people are upset because the TSA is not actually doing much to improve security; they're just annoying people (like airline pilots) to no purpose. Many have noted that if you want to kill a bunch of people, a long, snaking line at a security checkpoint makes a pretty good target. I think a big part of the problem is our belief that assembly lines are the best way to do EVERYTHING.

I posted this in Bitches the other day:

In Israel, they consider long lines at airports to be a Very Bad Thing, for the reason Strega noted.
