Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Here I sit with NO CUPCAKE!
I know! What is with this unfairness?
Stephanie, OC airport is right by Irvine/Newport Beach area. It's both surprisingly central and separated from everything by the freeway, so you can't walk to anywhere. Sigh. They say LA is built for cars, but in OC cars are even more necessary.
Ugh Consuela, sending you job vibes. And vibing hard for your DH, Cash.
Cash, just to put a positive spin on last minute meetings, I got a request late yesterday for a meeting with my boss at 9 this morning. Not a raise (unfortunately), but added job duties. Joy. I asked for a raise, I was politely giggled at.
In news that might raise some spirits, did you people know you can buy a pillow of Carl Kassel's face???
RAISE CREEPY PEOPLE'S SPIRITS, YOU MEAN.
I gotta go lie down.
Don't you wish you could lie down with that pillow??????
Now she'll never sleep again. Thanks, Jesse.
Hee. Sorry. I genuinely love it.
OMG! I need to give that to somebody!
Younger than us (especially the Boomers' kids), they have been encouraged to let everything hang out online. Reveal everything about yourself! As much as possible. Using your real name!
I dunno, I'm seeing a "straight white male techie privilege" going on. Like, "why do you have anything you need to HIDE?!?!?!" Um, a million reasons, asshole. Many of which are NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. And if you ask people to register with "the name their friends call them," then you are *not* asking for someone's "wallet name," as I'm seeing it called. Also, Google's privacy person posted publicly and explicitly in support of pseudonymity as a corporate policy in February of this year, using the Arab Spring protesters as an example. I can't find the link right now, read it at 3 am and I'm braindead but I'm sure someone can find it.
Great link, Consuela.
Sorry for skimming and dumping.
