When was the last time you overheard someone saying something bad about you?

I just heard my mom gossiping my aunt about how bad my acne has gotten and I'm 'not right in the head'. Nice... Happy holidays to you to, mommy.

Anybody else feel like the days between christmas and new years are awkward and boring?
Will you fill in the blank in order to make today really productive?

TODAY I WILL _________.

If you don't care... what is your current hair care routine?

I'm moving out of my apartment tomorrow. I've been busting my butt cleaning the place. But no matter how much I do, the apartment still looks "lived in". I just can't make everything looks perfect and brand new :/ But people keep telling me its not that serious and i'll get my security deposit back.

Does anyone have any experience in this? Stories to share?

DK/DC-What do you want to be when you grow up?

It is currently 9:50am. I have to go to work at 4pm. I have not slept yet.

There is about a 40% chance that if I go to sleep, I will not respond to any alarm set.

Do I risk it and try to catch a little shut eye or push through it and pass out mid-shift?

I earned my A+ cert back in 2002, and well, some things have changed in the interim.

Are there any online courses or books I can pick up that are focused not on new A+ certs, but on older certs that want to brush up on the changes the IT world has seen recently?

Is it possible and worthwhile to retake the test so I have a more recent cert date? IIRC it doesn't technically expire, but I'm concerned that someone reviewing a resume listing a 2002 cert date and not much recent work in the field might not be too inclined to go with me. I'd have to spend a few days brushing up but I have no doubts about my ability to pass a retest.

Somewhat related. I've got a 14th edition of Upgrading and Repairing PCs. Does the current edition have enough new material to justify the purchase?

Our brand spankin' new DSLR arrives today but I probably won't be home to sign for it. ): Do you think the UPS guy would leave it on the doorstep if I put a note on the door saying it's ok to do so? Something tells me he won't but gahhh... I really don't want to be chasing after them later.

Do you or have you ever suffered sleep paralysis?

Are you tired of hearing the phrases "EPIC WIN" and/or "EPIC FAIL" and any variations of those phrases?

Can we agree NOT to ask about what to do on New Years Eve ??
If you do ask....can we flog you? (unless you'd enjoy it, then we wouldn't)

TQC, will you tell me something cool to update my status on facebook with?

Are there any store similar to ModCloth that carry retro-inspired plus size clothing? My boobs and butt won't fit into anything on ModCloth and they have a strange way of measuring clothes which makes me think it's intended for people of less ample proportions.

Don't know or care, will you tell me what you plan to do today?

Over or under?

I'm bored and kind of sad. Will you show me your favorite Yo Dawg or Imma Let You Finish pics?

Are there any good websites (or books) that can help me brush up on certain concepts of Algebra and Calculus without actually having to go through an entire course? I need to take a math assessment for the university I'll be going to, and it's been at least 4 years since I've had an Algebra class. However, if I don't score 85-100 on the assessment, I have to either go through a month of tutoring sessions, or take 4 extra classes :(

If you dk/dc, what are you doing for New Year's Eve?

Have you ever had sex with a little person?

If you had been born as a little person, would you choose to grow taller with those leg stretches devices?

Help!

Two people are coming and all three of us are friends with each-other. One is coming to visit over New Years and has to be picked up at the airport at 8 AM on Dec. 31st. Another friend of mine has a layover in the same airport on the same day at 1 PM on the way to Australia. We all want to see each-other. I don't have a car, and it's three buses to Los Angeles airport. Renting a car is gonna cost $60 a day and most car places are closed for a couple days after New Years. I lost my job after I arranged this trip and can't afford a car for half a week. I only know two people with cars and neither are available.

What am I gonna do?

Does the phrase "this show is ace" make sense to you?
I don't remember if saying something is ace is a real expression or not.

I work for a feminist organization. We have three men who work here. Two of them are house-keeping and general office maintenance. One of the greatest battles from Boss Boss is with the general office maintenance guy. She has told all of us a million times that he isn't a secretary and shouldn't be answering the door or phone. But whenever we try to answer the phone, he runs and gets to it first. It's also made difficult because his desk is right smack dab in front of the door and everyone else is off to the side behind cubicle wall set-ups. The physical set-up and organizational hierarchy screams that he is, in fact, the secretary. He seems convinced that it's his job. She is always angry about it every time it crosses her mind to do anything about it and talks to us like it's our fault. The whole thing seems backwards to me, but it's kind of nice to see an Indian having cultural troubles with getting the Indian staff to understand basic precepts of feminism. Or something.

Also, it seems that the report I was working on, hired to work on, and have been the only one working on for the last 8 months has been hijacked by our person in the NY office. Which is confusing as a) I was told it was done a month ago, b) I'm the only one with the publishing software to edit it and c) I'm the only one with an editable copy. But, hey, to each their own, right? It's not like I could have put my name on it anywhere. There are levels of stupid. I am trying not to participate. I sent her a nice e-mail asking what was going on, telling her where to get the software and offering to e-mail the editable file to her. I've been trying to get the financial report to insert in the document for 4 months. 6 more days of this dysfunction and I cannot wait.
