I realized I wasn't clear about that. "goth" should be in the Etsy goth tag, but you get extra points if it's stacked with any of the other keywords

But doesn't it have to be in the goth tag by definition? That's what confuses.

Then again, I'm taking tumblr too seriously because I keep following links and having mini rage blackouts. This is how I prepare for the presentation in 30-45 minutes. Taking the ethnic range of dolls (see, Jilli, following everything) too seriously, and eyerolling at comments like "She looks like this chinese actor i forgot her name. OH noooo.... : (" and "Oh I know which actress you meant! She looks like Lucy Liu from Charlie's angels! Or Zhang Zhiyi from memoirs of Geisha!" too seriously because I don't know which font is the sarcasm font.

But, hey, at least I finally drew a co-worker. I haven't told him yet, but it's off my list.

Nooo, I'd eyeroll at those comments too.

The goth tag is the default starting point? It's the other keywords that pile on the ridiculousness? (I swear I'm not entirely being a cranky ElderGoth purist about this, but seeing "goth", "steampunk", and "grunge" all on the same item makes me hiss.)

Right--so why does the bingo card have a goth square? The whole card assumes the goth tag. I feel really dense right now...it would make sense if it was the centre square which is often/sometimes a gimme, but it's first row, fourth column.

Timelies all!

This morning's commute sucked royally. Took twice as long as usual to get to work.

Also, no food trucks near me, alas.

Oh, I get it. If I was the one who had designed the bingo card, I wouldn't have included the goth square, or I would have put it in the center spot. But I was laaaaazy and asked the interwebs to do it, so the result was funny, but not spot-on.

WEBSOURCING IS FULL OF FLAWS.

Originally I said it was full of CLAWS, but that would be fine.

I just followed the instructions and joined the Director's meeting fifteen minutes early, and they threw me out. I AM SO PSYCHED FOR THIS PRESENTATION, OMG.

Uh, not.

Originally I said it was full of CLAWS, but that would be fine.

Yeah, I'd be totally fine with websourcing being full of CLAWS.

So I'm watching last week's Glee, and I'm...wondering if Ryan Murphy believes that there's a thriving STRAIGHT male escort scene in NYC? Hotels they hang out in? Women they sleep with? Seriously?? Yes, for gay men, Ryan, but...what, would Brody being gay-for-pay be too out there?

I'm behind in my Glee viewing, so I may have already missed it, but that sure does look like they're teeing up a performance of Just a Gigolo .

So I finally made my presentation, and my boss tried to refute some of my points (but if *we* don't know the truth, management has failed in its mission to engage us), and the point I stuck together totally on the fly to support my last slide "reward people for identifying risk even if they only raise a problem, no potential solutions" was echoed by the CIO (my hero) who said she tried to push that message down (by rewarding people with Subway gift cards *just* for identifying potential problems) and clearly failed--it was the point people queried me most on. I told them they needed to work extra hard to overcome normal human hesitancy, and once you throw in the stereotypical IT personality, you're less likely to get people engaging for the hell of it.

So that wasn't awful.

My headache is though, and I think I'll just go lie down and cry for a bit, or something.
