Re: Longest Running Thread EVER In my case, it's that I've seen myself in the mirror just about every day for the last 26 years, and I just get uglier and uglier every day. The circles under the eyes get darker, the cheeks and chin get bigger, signs of wrinkles under the eyes . . . I wasn't happy about my appearance before, but yikes! As the years pass, I look more and more like my mother. And my mother is NOT particularly attractive. In fact, my mother's weight is such a problem that her legs bruise from carrying around so much weight. On day, Josh made me laugh as I passed a mirror, and I saw what my smile looks like (a real smile, not a deer-in-the-headlights smile). And for a moment, I could kind of undestand why anyone might find me attractive. But the other several thousand times I'd seen myself in the mirror, unsmiling, soon righted THAT mode of thinking. I could blame society. I could say looking at all these ideals of women has warped my self-esteem. Or I could just say it's my own damn fault, and admire anyone who repeats this bizarre assertion for their tenacity. Yes, that IS a sideways compliment, Doug.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER . . . . . . . Okay, so I have no reply to that. But darnit, why's it gotta be 2 of you under the delusion, now? I figured it was isolated . . . Oh, crap. It's contagious!

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I'm really at a loss as to how to contribute to this conversation. Dammit, how am I supposed to help inflate this thread when you're all going on and on about in-jokes? Here: http://www.omwh.com SOMEONE he's bound to find that amusing. There have to be some Buffy fans hiding out around here SOMEWHERE.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Oh great, so put us MORE in debt.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER And isn't it way past your bedtime?

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER If you want a livejournal, it is.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER *whaps the thread back onto the first page* Now, unless you want me to fight with the squirrel again, the rest is up to you guys.

Re: The cranky thread I spend more time at work waiting to use the program I need than actually getting work done. Lately, anyway. Can't they do this crap during my off time? And can't they tell me when they're done so I can make a dent in the pile of crap that's built up while they were fiddling? Fer cryin' out loud.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Ah, but just because you can, does that mean you will? Personally, I like watching people squirm with the "Will she/won't she?" conundrum. It's fun. Explains a lot, doesn't it, Josh?

Re: The cranky thread The receiving guy is now officially gone. Which is better than when he was being called up for National Guard something-or-other every other day, and I never knew when he'd be there or not. But they'lve hired his replacement. The problem is, the replacement has been running the store next door all by his lonesome with no backup, and can't leave just yet (where the manager is, I don't know). So now all the receiving comes to MY desk. And I'm already backed up with data entry, but I can't pass it along to my co-worker, because she's even MORE behind schedule. So what do I do about it? Procrastinate by hanging out here, of course. It would help if I hadn't stayed up 'til 1 the other night. Not my fault, though. We didn't start dinner until 10:30, and fondue takes a while to make and eat. And going to sleep right after dinner makes for interrupted sleep and bad dreams. I'll be happy when the replacement guy is firmly situated in the warehouse and I've gotten some sleep this weekend. Meanwhile . . . grrrrrrr.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Hmph. All their big talk about this thread going on forever, and it's not only ranked 3rd for length, but I had to search for PAGES to find it. Feh.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I dunno, either. I know what a Mary Sue is, but I don't know who he's talking about.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER 'Allowed?' Try 'only be able to get down.' Violent? No. Temper? Hell, yeah.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I just click on the thingy that makes it sort by thread length. I think this is another sign of your negligence to ask open-ended questions to keep conversations going. 30 lashes with a wet noodle! :whip:

Re: The cranky thread

Re: The cranky thread I discovered today that one of my cards went over the limit. Then I did some research, and found that one company I'd ordered stuff from seems to have overcharged me. I called them, and it turns out they charged me for shipping twice. They're giving me my money back, but I figured it's my fault I went over the limit, 'cause it shouldn't have been cut that close. So I cut my losses, and have made a bigger-than-usual payment to that credit card to get it back under the limit and to give me enough room for one of Josh's back-ordered presents to be charged to my card and shipped. Grargh. Christmas is so complicated and expensive.

Re: The cranky thread Our problem is that the warehouse (which we share a wall with, and we're separated from by a door) has no working heat. They fixed the AC, apparently a little too well. And there's no thermostat in there.
