did you see her statement? short version:

"my GOP colleagues are KRAZY. I need to step."

Huh. The Republican Maine governor is being kind of an ass right now, so maybe there's a chance it could go to a D?

Signed, pretty sure Olympia Snowe was my representative when I was 8.

Damn. And huh.

I'm not gay, but sometimes there's a really appealing pair of breasts, and I have feelings. Jenny Shimizu has a pair of those breasts. And a lot of that attitude.

Exactly.

msbelle--I have a friend going through this with her son....although he's 14. Drives her nuts.

Get it together, mac! msbelle, after years of watching Intervention, I can say that drugs are only a short-term solution.

I would like to stay in a giraffe room! And wouldn't mind that half-and-half room, I don't think.

Leave the polish on for a bit, Liese, unless/until it makes you crazy?

I can say that drugs are only a short-term solution.

But how long can short be?

I have fully tricked out my desk and confused my boss (the signed Castiel picture is no doing of mine, and it's going home never to be seen again, but it's both scaring and amusing me right now). First he needs to be sure Supernatural is a show (he then answered his own question), and then he wanted to know where Batman had gone. I showed him my desktop, and told him that one day I'd snap and decorate my cube like the batcave and come into work in full costume, never fear. His reaction was to wonder how my haranguing co-worker will handle me in a cape. I think everyone will enjoy it.

Speaking of wearing and enjoying, I'm in these today, in order to cheer me up, and to cheer up other people. Based on random feedback, mission accomplished.

I just checked with the co-worker, and now I 100% need to buy a cape. I have a capelet, but it's velvet and formal and not work appropriate. I need a proper cape, and I will wear that to work. It's totally not against the dress code.

::sigh:: I had to explain Douglas Adams to one coworker, and the Thunderdome to another. I don't know how I manage to work here, seriously.

Dude, ita, your desk is so CLEAN.

Mine is covered with paper--files and reports and printouts of photographs. And spilled tea. And napkins. (Gross: time to clean my desk!)

Dude, ita, your desk is so CLEAN.

That stack of papers you see to the right used to be notoriously spread out over every square inch of space, layered about two thick. But my boss has puppy dog eyes, and my co-workers are really barbed with the harassment.

And...I got a tablet and Evernote. Peer pressure and Android saved my desk, man. I have to take notes as people talk, or it goes in one ear and out the other, but I have been able to be more efficient about the media.

It's kind of insane that all I did to prep for the picture was turn the company logos towards the wall and put all the pens together. I'm just not usually that neat. But working at home...gotta keep the info wherever I am.

I'm starting to think my office was giving out defective flu shots this year - I'm the second person in my office to have gotten "maybe a really bad cold but it sure sounds like the flu" (my doctor's exact words). Which means I'm now on antibiotics and an inhaler for secondary bacterial pneumonia. Hooray for breathing! Ventolin FTW!

That's a scary-clean desk.
