Buffistas

This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I'd love to hit Disney World - but 4% isn't going to cover that. Bummer! I even have family near there.

I'm going to have the doc check my knee. Today it is just throbbing.

Tell me that doesn't mean you have to go through all this damn application and interview bs again in April, Consuela.

Well, not here, anyway. I'm done with applying for this job. If they don't hire me, I go back into the private sector, at least for a while. I do get the sense that many consulting firms are less stressful than my old job, so maybe it won't be so bad.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Teppy, come back! We're not done with the scene yet!

Sorry! I actually made good on my promise and went to the gym.

regarding the Alcott love--do you read the abridged or unabridged? I loved Little Women until I read the unabridged and found myself slogging through all the preaching.

I grew up reading what was apparently the abridged version, which I didn't realize until I was in college and didn't have it with me and bought an unabridged copy. I was confused by all the stuff I didn't remember from reading it as a kid.

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

A co-worker accused me of toeing the company line in order to rebel, I guess, unlike him who just rebel rebels. It was weird--we were asked to wear business formal because of guests, and I did (stooge) by wearing a tie (hipster), whereas him just wearing jeans was the apparent right answer.

I don't know how to explain to him that I wear ties because I like them and I can't think of a good reason not to if we're asked to meet a dress code, and it's no skin off my nose meeting a dress code. More than a couple guys have said "But now you know why we hate them, right?"

Clearly wearing both heels and panty hose would be beyond these men, if this is such a massive problem. It's really not a big deal once it's on, and putting it on gets easier every time, even the Windsor knot. Don't make me call your entire gender whiners.
