I know this reaches back to an old conversation here - but every time I take a shower now I think of how I'm doing it. And if I have significantly different findings from the buffista experience. I'm over thinking my showers cause of y'all.

ME TOO! And have realized that I face each way about half the time, which is not at all what I answered in the original survey.

From way back,

Melissa Harris Perry had a piece on what the Harlem Shake is, what it really isn't, its history, who first put it on video (P Diddy in the 90s), and so on.

Thank you so much for posting that. I've been quietly loathing this meme for weeks now, but hadn't seen it summed up this nicely yet.

Somehow it only really hit my radar a few days ago.

Mainly be cause a higher up (but not in my direct chain of command) invited me out to lunch to meet another highter up (also not in my direct chain of command). I'm curious beyond curious as to what is up.

They're recruiting you, is my guess. For a project or a position.

Which reminds me, Suzi: in about three weeks I'm going to start sending out resumes. Would you recommend I talk to the folks in your Oakland office? My background is primarily federal, although I have done state-level work.

I have no idea what the Harlem Shake is. I didn't want to click any links because I was afraid it was like Goatse or something.

(Does that make me ancient in internet years, to reference Goatse?)

I'm assuming it's not like Goatse? Or any other link most people would regret clicking?

it is Peanuts dancing with more flailing.

3 days til Disney people!!!! I started packing this morning. I need to find my Minnie ears headband.

Consuela - that is my guess too. I really like my current position and career path, so it would have to be something juicy to lure me away.

We do lots of federal, state, and commercial work, so there are lots of opportunities. Check the company web site for posted jobs. Send me an e-mail with specifics and I can try to get you a contact name.

I like the idea of having an image thread. Often, I find myself referencing a picture or something and usually I just say "I put it on FB" but not everyone has FB so that limits the audience.

eta: and I think Suzi adds in the perfect corollary - I would not want to see our regular threads with images.

I'd rather see a dedicated image thread we can refer to, but allow and then disallow images in an existing thread. If I'm b.org-ing from work, I don't want images popping up.

Snowquester seems to have arrived in Boston, but even though a lot of snow has been coming down since this morning, it doesn't seem to be accumulating at all. It think it's just a little to warm for that. If we get any build up, I think it's going to be over night.

Hard to tell how really bad it is coming down, though, because it is windy as hell and the direction seems to keep shifting.
