I guess I'm clutching some pearls today but I'm sort of side-eying my co-worker who brought in a replica assault riffle and a handgun with the orange tips blacked out. It just seems to be in poor taste with all the recent office shootings going on. I know it's Halloween but it just gives a weird feeling seeing her with those guns here in the office. She says they are her son's which also worries me since a young teen was shot and killed by a cop a few months ago for carrying a blacked out tip assault rifle.
I wouldn't find this to be work appropriate, either. I don't think guns are something to joke about.
If I owed pearls I would be clutching them!
My random is I added a few Doctor Who decorations this Halloween and I actually had a trick or treater dressed as the 4th doctor with the long scarf last night. We shared a geek moment.
My mom and I ate matza crackers with butter on them when I was a kid. Yum!! Although, I haven't had it as an adult...I wonder if it would still taste good.

With the orange tips blacked out? Is she insane? Way to get your self shot. At my work she already would have bene tackled to the ground and probably shot and arrested.
So one of the white guys at one of my client offices is going to a party as Bob Marley tonight and asked what color makeup he should buy. I kept my mouth shut.

I had coffee at a scholarship meeting this morning, and I have been wired and shaky since (4hrs later). Not sure if Sodexo does something funky with their coffee, or if I have suddenly become so old that I can't handle a 3rd cup before 10am.

Two of my friends are on 'half-term' (aka a week off for British schools) and it's been in the 70s today - we hung out outside and drank red wine. I'm a big buzzed.

That must have been really hard.
Yeah I was in a no-win situation there. Freakin sucks!
I have done nothing today thanks to AE day and ML.
meshaliuknits did make me get off my butt for a bit for some exercise at home, and I cleaned my closet a bit, but no work. I need to work! I was also supposed to go to ballet class today. I didn't.
I couldn't sleep last night so I woke up early. I was excited to have a whole bunch of time to do my makeup, but it looks awful. I don't know what I did wrong. Maybe I just look awful from being tired.
Alyssa not overreacting. As one of our resident "pro-gun" people (a very relative term) that would freak me the fuck out. NOPE NOPE NOPE.
And dude considering blackface would have gotten a "you're joking, right? You aren't really going to color your face, right? Because I mean, that'd be a terrible idea. Good thing you're joking! hahahahahaha!"
H's company has gone so far overboard in its quest to make Halloween "fun" that it has actually sucked all the fun out of the day for everyone who works there, including my H. I'm trying to be sympathetic--because it has been truly ridiculous all week--but he's about to ruin it for me, too because he's being so fucking Halloween-Scroogy about it.
Is anyone else cleaning their house (the part visible from the front door, anyway) in preparation for ToTers?
Hey girl. You go sit down and relax, ok? I already poured you a glass. I'll take care of the cleaning today. Except, it's a bit warm in here. Mind if I take off my shirt?

My boss just told me that Obama is a CIA operative. She said she's talked to people in DC and it's true. "You know, he was what? A community organizer? He's had no jobs? Plus, his mother? I think she was one, too."
You're welcome.
Quoting because I can't tag on the app.
I spent the rest of last night watching THG trailers. I blame/thank you.

No even though the little kids on my block sometimes walk in.

They do! The first couple of times it happened, I was all sweetness and light and "Oh no, honey, back outside, please." By the fourth or fifth time, I was yelling at the little shits to GTFO of my house. Fucking aggressive, they are.
I find that the look of "oh my god please let the earth swallow me whole" embarrassment on the parents face helps me let it go.

I have no filter.
I would have been busting out the Michelle Obama Side Eye (tm).
I have BOTH black devil dogs at work with me today. They are living up to the nickname.
I just got done talking with my advisor about my thesis and now I am attempting not to freak out.
Also, I made cupcakes for my work's Halloween party bake-off and I don't even get to enjoy any of it because of class and scheduling. I am naively hoping I won. But I'd much rather focus on the contest and hope a CW saved me a plate of goodies instead of my thesis.
