my side of the story: URGENT: Google privacy policy change
fuckyeahfeminists:
Just got this in an email
In just a few hours, new policies will take effect at Google, endangering your privacy.
Tech publication Gizmodo reports, “things you could do in relative anonymity today [like your web searches], will be explicitly associated with your name,…
Done. I mean seriously,...

Dinner of Champs.
I am eating a bowl of pasta that is made up of the dregs of the pasta boxes.
I’ve got small shell pasta:
Acini di pepe:
And angel hair pasta:
I am not even remotely qualified to be an adult.

Old Men.
I work with some elderly gentlemen. Why is this awesome?
Not only do I hear crazy stories about earning purple hearts in Vietnam, BUT on fake snowy days they get nervous and convince the boss that not only do I need to reschedule my meeting in Springfield, but the boss should also close early.
Let’s all go out for the early bird special and some Sanka!!

morninggloria:
It’s long, you guys, but I think it’s an important issue. Why are conservatives allowed to refuse to their jobs because of their “conscience,” but pro-choice doctors who believe providing women with abortions and birth control is moral are denied that right by the state?

Thank God.
The Facebook meteorolgists are out in full force. However did we know the weather before Facebook?
Because Of Course.
It’s barely snowed all year and yet, tonight when I have a meeting on the other side of the state, we’re allegedly getting 8-10 inches.
Fucking spectacular.

True Story.
The hem let go on my pants today and I absolutely used the stapler on my desk.
Even worse? I am 100 percent sure I will probably wash and wear these pants at least seven more times before I bring them to the tailor.

I'm Not Afraid To Admit I'm A Jerk.
I had a union member (who I am somewhat friendly with, I will admit) text me last night at 10:22 with a work-related issue.
Oh, hell no. Granny likes her sleep, sonny.
Did I purposely get up early to text him back at 6:30 a.m. because I’m a jerk? I sure did. That’s what happens when you mess with crotchety old ladies.

“I’m for separation of church and state,” he said on Monday....”
– Rick Santorum.
HuffPo describes this as Santorum “walking back” his quote. Ummm … no. He’s actually making it 100 times scarier. He thinks the government has no role in telling the church what to do but says NOTHING about the church’s role in politics. This goes from...

The Mother Ship.
I think I have waxed poetic enough about my love for Sephora.
But they really kicked it up a notch for me yesterday. I got talked into buying this:
And ugh, I hated it. The whole drying on your face pink/no shaking the bottle. Hated it.
What I really should have bought was this:
Anyway, they exchanged graciously took back the first crap, sold me the second and gave me change. All this...

Resourceful.
I shopped at the back of the closet again this morning and actually found something that fits.
Adorable silk blouse with a tie in front — see kids, if you keep shit long enough it actually does come back in style. Sigh …
Anyway, said blouse has a collar that just would not lay flat. It’s the result of being shoved at the back of the closet for years.
Did I break out the iron...
Nolte Looks Like Kenny Rogers, Right?
I’m not just imagining that?
J. Lo Had A Nip Slip.
Is no one talking about that because we’re over her?

Wonklife: Things Mitt Romney won't tell you:... →
In 2010, John F. Cogan, R. Glenn Hubbard, and Daniel P. Kessler published in Forum for Health Economics & Policy a report (“The Effect of Massachusetts’ Health Reform on Employer-Sponsored Insurance Premiums”) on the effects of Governor Mitt Romney’s 2006 health-care reform in Massachusetts….
It’s true.

Words With Friends.
A dude I went to high school with just asked me if I was “looking up words” because I played “jinxes” for 117 points.
Bitch, please. Jinx is on every other page of Harry Potter. Plus I’m well-read.
I also played: sloe (as in sloe gin fizz — girl’s gotta know her booze), diets, hinted, canoes, tuts and jade.
Yes. Brain-smashers, every single one.
Woman: Can I have birth control?
Republicans: No.
Woman: I got pregnant because I didn't have birth control and I don't want the fetus. Can I have an abortion?
Republicans: No.
Woman: I gave birth to my child but since I wasn't expecting it, I can't afford daycare. Can I have help paying for it?
Republicans: No.
The Oscars.
I just can’t muster up any enthusiasm for them. None. Not even for the outfits.
I know. I need to hand in my Tumblr card. Who wants to go to a monster truck rally instead?

Airline lets you pick a seatmate using Facebook →
KLM Airlines has launched a program that allows you to choose your seatmate based on their Facebook or LinkedIn profile, hopefully preventing those awkward boarding gate staredowns when you silently hope you’re not beside the guy who’s singing along with his iPod. The program, called “Meet and Seat,” is available on flights between Amsterdam and New York and San Francisco...
