I'm at work right now, and I want to crawl under my desk and hide.

See, about 20 mins ago I was making copies down the hall, and the maintenance guy who is usually pretty friendly to me starts talking while I copy. All of the sudden, he stops, midsentence, and exclaims...

Maintenance Guy: "Did you get pregnant?"
Me: *shocked silence, looong awkward ( Read more... )

I was in a waiting room a few days ago and there were three people sitting together, all wearing BP uniforms. One of them was reading the paper, and on the table were several others covering the spill. I found it very ironic. Maybe they were in a hurry, but I think I would've changed before going anywhere, had it been me. I mean, I know people ( Read more... )

As you know, I work at the Wisconsin Historical Society. One of our sites was hit by a tornado Monday night. Hard. I used to go to Old World Wisconsin frequently as a kid, and my grandma used to work there. One of my cousins still does. It's a really pretty outdoor museum, full of trees.

Or at least it used to be.

Aerial view. This makes me so sad ( Read more... )

I don't talk about work much on here, because it's usually pretty frustrating and I don't like to live it twice. But, every now and then, it's amusing. In case I haven't mentioned it before, I'm the youngest employee in the division... and the NEXT youngest is 52. So. The following conversation occured this morning between the senior HR specialist ( Read more... )

Shit like this makes me SO ANGRY. What the hell is the matter with our country? I visited Arizona in November and thought it was nice enough, but if this is the kind of legislation (first the "Yay for Racial Profiling!" bill, and now this??) originating there, I'll pass.

No ethnic studies classes allowed? No noticeable accents? Fuck you, you racist ( Read more... )

I'm not usually a huge baseball fan, but it seems like this would have been a fun game to watch! (Although admittedly, still not because of the actual baseball...)

I love typos, but this one is pretty bad...

I got in a huge fight with my sister today.

You may think it'd be difficult to fight with someone when they're on a different continent, and you haven't seen them in about eight months... but it's not.  It's painfully, heart-breakingly easy.

Only afterward, once you've shut down Skype and AIM and facebook chat, once you've logged out of all your ( Read more... )

Early this morning, I was sound asleep when suddenly a huge orange furball attacked my face. Literally. I woke screaming as my cat, Manny, batted and jumped on my face repeatedly while howling like you wouldn't believe. It scared the shit out of me. I now have a very attractive bloody, gouge in my right ear from a well placed back claw that caught ( Read more... )

Any suggestions?

Tell me some of your all time favorites, new discoveries, songs you end up singing along to before you realize it, songs that make you happy/sad/whatever, songs you think everyone should hear...

ANYTHING. Pretty please?
