Please use personal email when dissing your boss

Song Titles: A Cautionary Tale: "Please Call Me, Baby" or "Please Call Me Baby"? For want of a comma, a phone call was lost.

Oh, The Shame: I admit it, I kind of love watching Beauty and the Geek. I'm sorry! Half the time I watch it on mute, though, because I can't deal with the stupid and/or awkward things that they all say. They should do a season in opposite, though, with hot airhead boys and geeky girls. And then I should be on it.

Noises Off: I told you that the beep is gone, right? The banging pipes made a comeback this week, though, banging all night long on Monday. YARGH. But someone else must have complained (I wasn't quite ready to call back AGAIN, complaining about something ELSE), because I came home on Tuesday to a note saying that there were problems with the heat and so people might be coming into our apartments. And it's been pretty quiet since. Yahoo.

Home Swee(t) Home: I have finally made the leap. I now, after 5 1/2 years, pronounce Toronto, "Tronna". The proper enunciation comes back if I'm talking to strangers or in professional situations, but most of the time, it's bye bye, little T. You'd think I lived here or something.

Mmmm Pie: Staff meetings are made infinitely better by pie.

He's the spitting image of one of my RL geek boyfriends, which is why I liked him - and he tried. he was so sincere.

I hated that women, though. Something about women who look like Sarah Michelle Gellar, partly, and partly because she never studied. She didn't try! She wanted to take the money and run on the first episode. Awful.

Now, it must be said, there are no women on that show that I can like or relate to. And the token grinning asian geek reminds me way too much of somebody here at work, who I don't like. And now that the geek who looks like my friend is gone, I may never go back - but it all takes place at a time when there is nothing else on TV that I want to watch, which often conspires to make me fall into shows like Hells Kitchen, Biggest Loser, and Beauty and the geek.

but yeah, we so need a female geek show. And not Ugly Betty-fied, with the fashion and bulimia jokes, either.

I hate anything which takes a pretty girl, messes up her hair and calls her ugly. I hate that SO much.

And don't forget the glasses! Glasses, as we all know, are the ultimate "uglifier". Hate hate hate.
