    Agreed. It sounds like time to invest in a snowblower.

    My friends, it is time for me to embark upon a quest. A quest for (*dun dun duuunnn*) hairpins! James and I are going to a One-Man Star Wars Trilogy show tonight, and I want to do my hair in Princess Leia cinnabuns.

    Um...basically the entirety of Secret History is one giant spoiler for Bands. (Subtle, but huge.) Our admins: holding themselves up to the highest standard of trolling.

    People underestimate piccolos. Those little unassuming things are monsters.

    All hail Seonid, Cooker of Waffles and Slayer of Threads!

    Amusingly enough, HR had nothing to do with this. It was a peer committee that had the idea. I kind of get what they're doing; get folks off the grind of the phones for an hour, let them meet some people from other teams, and so forth. But it makes a lot more sense for the rank-and-file folks whose work is almost all inbound calls. For folks like me, well, I have a lot more stuff that comes in via e-mail or just in regular deskwork/widget programming that it cuts into my productive time a lot more.

    Egads. Read this last night. Brandon cracked open a giant monolith stuffed full of Answers. I think this is going to take a while to percolate. Oh, and while yeah, Vin's farewell to Kelsier was sweet, I got a lot more feels off of Sazed's earnest, "Here, I fixed your bodies for you! You can come back now..."

    Work has been doing team-building exercises. They schedule you in, you go, you do a thing. I just spent an hour playing Pictionary when I have work piling up. (I'm on break now.)

    Highly entertaining and easy to rile up.

    Egads. I really am old enough to be your mother. *sigh* I should probably start getting used to that. It's only going to get worse.

    Did you take advantage of Pretend to be A Time Traveler Day back on December 8? Because that is a thing that exists. There are advantages to getting older; dual-income households with professional jobs makes a difference in the expensive hobbies quarter.

    Yeah. Er...I'm insane. I not only sew, I learned how to make chainmail and scale mail specifically for cosplay. There almost certainly is something wrong with me, but I'm cool with that. And, ooo. Another Dresden Files fan, too! And Doctor Who...and general nerdery...yes, you will fit in here.
  13. Kaymyth
    Ahhh, another cosplayer. *peaks fingers together* Eeexcellent...

    38, here. I imagine you're one of our younger members. We've got a lot of high school and college-aged folks. (So I'd totally believe you, at least.)

    There would be no winners in that war. None. Styrofoam peanuts are a plague upon the land. Hee! If it makes you feel better, I've taken that thing before and I think I'm a wee bit further left than you are. I am shocked - shocked, I say - that your dot isn't exactly on the lower left-hand corner.

    I've been working with packing material today, and it's gotten everywhere. I'm getting my layers trimmed tonight after work. So now I get to explain to my stylist why I have fragments of styrofoam peanuts clinging to my hair. Your secret is safe with me. (also, more proof that we are brain-sisters)

    Not all sites are created equal. Unfortunately, the pay sites have much better screening and tend to shoot back better matches and people who are more serious about it. On the free sites, you have to sort through a lot of dross to find decent potential dates.

    More like "grab a sled and WHEE!"

    Such dry air. So static. Much frizz. Wow.

    I fear nothing!* Welcome! There aren't many of us around here in that late-30s age bracket. *Except heights. And maybe spiders. Also, certain death is kind of scary, too.
  21. Kaymyth
    I'm safe. I'm a redhead.
  22. Kaymyth
    Now you have me pondering the viability of cooking pizza dough in a Belgian waffle iron.
  23. Kaymyth
    It's still there. You just have to get up early to see it. ...which I won't.
  24. Kaymyth
    Before sunrise? Are...are people actually alive that early?
  25. Kaymyth
    I'm sorry. That sounds like a crappy situation. And I've been there. Not exactly like that, but at the same age, I was stuck in my tiny, super-rural hometown and probably the only actual geek in the entire county. It sucked. I didn't get a life until I finally got my life together and moved away. I don't know if this helps at all, but I didn't even meet my husband until I was 31. (And we actually met using one of those internet dating sites, so on occasion they actually do work.) The right one's always worth the wait. It's cold comfort right now, I know, but the world is full of surprises.
