    Eileen made me go into the Poultry Pavilion. It's hot, stinky, and sounds like THE DEPTHS OF HELL.

  • ATHEIST / USPS Discrimination Against Atheism?

    ATHEIST / USPS Discrimination Against Atheism? – Interesting. A shoe company finds that when they put “Atheist” tape on their packages, they are ten times more likely to be delayed in the US. I am not surprised.

    Shopping montage! Didn't get all these pieces, but most.

    @JulieKalitis I’ve got my own “Trinny & Susannah” here in the person of @mrs_sockvictim, so I’m going with her first!

    Did somebody say Liberty?? http://t.co/WOkxnQgp6h


    Holy shit. That’s the most I’ve ever spent on clothes in my entire life. #breathe


    All up: 2 bras, 2 jackets, pants, 3 skirts, 4 shirts, belt, scarf, handbag, and shoes. ZOMG. @mrs_sockvictim is A DRUG PUSHER.


    Sales lady at Sportscraft said I looked like I was going to pass out. @mrs_sockvictim was euphoric.


    Post-shopping. Note the euphoria and the anxiety. @mrs_sockvictim http://t.co/LkDAq2L7Wv


    @pixel8ted Nothing. But my many gay friends in the US have said it means a lot to them to have visible support.

    @miss_reecie @mrs_sockvictim She’s BRILLIANT at it. Seriously, second career right here.


    @RoseRed_Shoes @mrs_sockvictim They did! Secret discount since the sale starts tomorrow, actually. ๐Ÿ™‚

    @RoseRed_Shoes Got the suit and both printed tops. Saved the solid ones for later!


    *sigh* But I liked my Flipboard as a method of consumption, not curation. Everything’s gotta be a damn social network now. ๐Ÿ™

    Spent the day with Fiona as my personal shopper for my new corporate wardrobe. ZOMG. Ended up with 2 bras, 2 jackets, pants, 3 skirts, 4 shirts, cardigan, belt, scarf, handbag, and shoes.

    That’s the most I’ve spent in one purchase on something that didn’t have an Apple logo on it.

    I am fairly certain that @Kat13v just rang me from the future with some warning for herself. Can’t be sure. It’s all wibbly-wobbly.


    @Kat13v Oh crap! It might have been? Did you have my home number stored in it? Check your email; I sent you details.


    @Kat13v I’m reading the phone manual trying to figure out if I can work out caller’s number. It’s not stored. Maybe no caller ID on it.


    @wheelyweb Well, I did sign up for the service. I just don’t get why they can’t label it properly. Confused the hell out of me.


    Not only do I have to wait in massive queue at B’way @auspost, a Vodafone spruiker has set up camp. Who allowed this? http://t.co/2pT9F0LhjD


    Trying on grown-up clothes. Any styling ideas, fashion mavens? http://t.co/jbeWFU9KTb


    @pixel8ted I had to go up a size in red to fit the hips. I think I can take in the top to be less baggy. Love the colour.


    @pixel8ted YOU ARE HARSHING MY SHOPPING BUZZ.


    CBA contract officially signed. Woohoo! Looking forward to my first day at @CommBank on April 8th. ๐Ÿ™‚


    God shopping depresses me. Do ponchos count as corporate wear?


    @RoseRed_Shoes Yes, I think the red will have to go back. I might need to put up the bat signal to @mrs_sockvictim to help me shop.


    @witty_knitter @knitdra @RoseRed_Shoes @mrs_sockvictim Oh! Okay. Somebody said it looked like a bin liner, which was crushing.


    @witty_knitter @knitdra @RoseRed_Shoes Maybe I’ll hang onto it and get @mrs_sockvictim’s opinion as my stylist…


    Had to give presentation at #IIBA study group tonight with partner Kerry. We rocked it! Very well received. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @mrs_sockvictim @RoseRed_Shoes @witty_knitter @knitdra Well, the Snook likes it! So I’m keeping it. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @witty_knitter @mrs_sockvictim @RoseRed_Shoes @knitdra Just those dresses. I was too depressed afterwards to get anything else.


    I don’t see why our godless, childless marriage that took place in Vegas endows us with full gov rights, & others can’t marry who they love.


    @drkknits @imdominating Americans always think that. Aussies always laugh. I AM AN LINGUISTIC ISLAND UNTO MYSELF.


    @witty_knitter I’ve just seen one on Facebook. Claim is that is barged through picket line and nearly injured picketer.


    @witty_knitter That was on Carillon though.


    @messicat Interestingly, I don’t think my accent moved much til I went to work at TC. Talking to customers made a noticeable change (to me).


    I think I’m growing up. I seem to have learned the ability to hold off before sending emails that I might regret.


    Time for fun things. Must dig out all my “corporate” clothes so my stylist @mrs_sockvictim can make a shopping plan.
