oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Lee,I see the doctor tomorrow - but I have three finger on my right hand that are feeling tingly - and it is less than it was this morning, but not yet right. And dr google is suggesting pinched nerve/carpal tunnel. Not painful, but mega annoying.

Huh. Some of y'all know what I do (I don't say what it is on the board because it's really really niche and it would be pretty easy to identify me if I did), and for those who don't, let's just say I work for a public agency in an environmental capacity.

Much of what I do relates to historic preservation, so I'm familiar with a lot of folks in the industry, in non-profits, in business, and in government. Today I got a letter from a national non-profit, and they attached the descriptions of their board members.

And every single one of them was a man. In historic preservation, which at the field level is probably 55% female, and that preponderance of women goes all the way up to the federal regulators in Washington.

I'm kind of aghast.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

check this out.

my mother just sent an email to me linking to the urban dictionary definition of "Santorum."

You might find this definition of a word that is spelled like that of Rick Santorum rather fitting of this man who has spoken in such a vitriolic manner against our President. This definition has been circulating the internet at least since the beginning of the year.

What do I tell her? Do I provide her the history of this "definition?"

I lost my shit laughing over this. I can only imagine how horrified my mother was to read the definition.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's kind of horrifying, but not that surprising to me. (Yes, I can be horrified and still not surprised. Have been beaten down by The Man.)

Well, when you lead with the gay billionaires, everything else is just funny.

A GANG of gay billionaires!

Oh man, le nubian. I don't even know.

Jesse,

It would be surprising to me if it were in some other non-profit or environmental sector, but not HP. Everywhere I look there are women! ::sigh::

I do love the gay billionaires.

hip deep in pie

Lee, I came home, let the cats out, and discovered my new neighbors black lab in their backyard. So I now in the opposite side of your situation. This may get interesting, because Oz is overly territorial. I think the dog saw Oz and didn't do anything but watch, and he totally ignored me, so I am guessing he's a pretty mellow dog. Personally, I am excited. DOGGY!!

Oz, can't fit through the fence between the yards, so I don't think I have to worry about cat/dog confrontations. (Clio is a lover, not a fighter.)

(I am TOTALLY trying not to judge my new neighbors because the dog is out int he cold. I can't tell if they are home or not however, so I will wait to judge.)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

They're funding a SupersPAC - Gay Billionaires for Obama! (although I think Super PACs are required to have cheezy names ... anyone have anything? my brain's gone home)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The dog is a Labrador. He LURVES the cold like ice cream and ponies. Or ducks. I'm more concerned if he's out all day with no access to shelter or people around to keep an eye out for trouble.
