Chicago? Hey people who live there: I am going to Chicago on 12/15 - 12/17 for work then I’m gonna pay to stay over on that Saturday night on my own fancy pants dime… maybe stay with a friend though. But anyways, I need to bargain it up for my hotel because even expensed I like to be frugal (I figure if I’m cheaper then my company will be less likely to be all nooooo you...

I don’t decorate for holidays. I did when I lived in a regular adult person house with my ex but to decorate just for me seems like such a waste of my time.
I do not dislike the holidays, I enjoy them but in general I don’t get too into “the spirit.” As a non Christ believer and non Santa believer and non Jew, it’s just basically a time for me to get and give gifts....
justified annoyance?
So. I have a gnarly sinus infection. Hadn’t gone to grocery store in over a week so went to Publix this afternoon. I had my hands full and was loading my food onto the conveyor when a coughing fit hit and I did not cover my mouth but turned my head sort of into my shoulder but not totally into my arm while trying to quickly move the line forward. There was a woman in the line directly behind...

– The Tangential: Shut the Hell Up About How Stupid Black Friday Is
Why I am choosing to only bitch about Black Friday in private. Though I reserve the right to scream about all the Black Friday commercials. WORST.
And I have one insult that I think relates: why are material objects so important?...
Watching Gone With the Wind with my parents...
My mom and I are ragging on Margaret Mitchell and her racist bullshit and doing a lot of judging and my dad is all “Oh hush, just watch.” Well. Obviously. My mother is also bitching about the pregnant pauses and how much she hates Scarlett and how they leave out 2 whole children in the movie.
Pale-faced mealy-mouthed ninny cunt.

If you're not a Roberts, I feel bad for you son.
ladypennyface replied to your photo: Roberts Thanksgiving. Just my parents, my brother…
Maybe it’s a Roberts thing, but our holidays are always small and filled with lots of drinking, as well.
Yep, and I think it’s an overall WASP thing.

Happy Thanksgiving!
A feeling I hope I never experience again: finding out via Facebook that one of my guy friends from middle school, high school and college passed away. Hadn’t seen him in a few years, probably since 2008 or so. A couple tacky people posted status updates about it and am I being tacky by being saying something here? I don’t know. Maybe. But … sad. This is also the first time one...

cognitivedissonance:
The state board of Texas College Republicans have called for the resignation of their state secretary after she posted a tweet calling the assassination of Obama “tempting.”
The tweet comes after a 21-year-old Idaho man allegedly fired a semi-automatic weapon at the White House today. Two bullets hit the White House, and one cracked Obama’s bedroom window.

keeping it real
Pro: I met with a realtor today. My new realtor. To discuss buying a condo.
Con: I will be meeting with a lender week after Thanksgiving to really hear my fate. Or potential fate.
Con: I will not be going to our company holiday party in Chicago. Our CFO said no on the Atlanta office (3 people, myself included) coming up for it. :( :(
Pro: I’m planning an AMAZING holiday outing for myself...
family.
Mother (on phone): I met someone you went to high school with!
Me: Huh. Okay. Who?
Mother: [redacted], she works at Georgia Apple [pro-bono law org]. How’d she know I’m your mother?
Me: Really? We share mannerisms, a last name and a face. And I could never really convince anyone I was adopted, no matter how hard I tried.
Mother: Oh Sarah! BYE.
