    Surviving Work

    (rules as they come to me)

    1. If a meeting has a specified end time, leave at that time, even if the meeting isn't over.
    2. If a meeting does not have a specified end time, call the meeting convener and ask when the meeting will end. Leave at the specified end time.
    3. Bring something to work on in case the meeting starts late.

    Reality Check - This is NOT Fat

    posted Tuesday, 11 September 2007

    Britney Spears

    I didn't see the performance--I hear it was bizarre. Her parenting is not top notch. She's unbalanced. Fine. But fat????? Gimme a break.

    Wicket press. You have to be anorexic, and then they say you are anorexic.

    Agreed! It seems today that you are fat if you are not anorexic! Also,not being anorexic is symbolized as "bad," and even deviant. Thanks for your unique take on this event.

    Yeah, I'm thinking everyone means "phat." I like that take on it much better. Basically, if a woman's body strays a pound or two from the fake "ideal" created by media/advertisers, she's considered "dangerously skinny" or "obese."
