There, I fixed it for you.

5'4" or less, usually. Petite sizing doesn't refer to what we usually call size; it refers to sizes proportioned for shorter people. I'm a shortie. There's way more to getting something fitted properly for me than just cutting some length off a standard size. Topic: That "fundie vixen" look is barftastic.

Small Talk: Along the Hills of East Tennessee
Heathen replied to Meredith Quill's topic in Bringing Up Bates
Yes, this is fortunately only through the next month. I can avoid her for the most part -- the fact that she's an idiot and incompetent helps -- but I do have to deal with her for some things, like supplies, which I end up waiting for and then having to play catch-up. I have been waiting weeks now for answers to basic questions that I ended up going to other people to get because she doesn't know what she's doing. I fully expect to continue to have to deal with wholly unnecessary problems because of her incompetence. I have a feeling I'm going to end up losing my job over this shit. I don't deserve this. -
Maybe if they were on a month-to-month lease, and another "sweet friend" came through with a place to live in Tennessee.

Small Talk: Along the Hills of East Tennessee

Putting this here so that I can vent and maybe get an impartial answer. Do you think it is rude to knowingly interrupt a coworker, or to continue talking after you interrupt? I was taught that it is rude to interrupt, and that if you accidentally do so, you should say "I'm sorry, go ahead" and stop talking. I have lived all over the country, and in every place I've lived -- small towns, suburbs, inner cities -- interrupting was rude. The person I'm supposed to report to repeatedly interrupts and talks over me when I am speaking to members of the public, even after being asked privately not to do so. She gets defensive when I bring it up (today she interrupted me to deny interrupting me and then accused me of yelling at her -- I hadn't even raised my voice because there were people around). I don't like her and I think she is incompetent, naive, self-absorbed, and a liar*. I can handle anything for three more weeks, but I have gotten to a point where her rudeness is quite literally affecting my ability to do my job because I can't talk to potential voters (this is a political job) without her interrupting and talking over me. (She also fails to respect personal space. Don't ever reach right in front of my face unless you actually want to piss me off. I swear I'm on the verge of ripping her arm off and beating her with it. I kept having to move away today because she was too close and she was bumping into me.) *Example of her lying from today: We both got wagons to be used on campus. I got mine yesterday and expected to spend some time putting it together last night. It was a matter of opening the box, pulling out the wagon, and unfolding it. Absolutely no assembly needed. Today she wanted to use mine. I asked if she hadn't gotten hers (expecting a lie). She said she hadn't put it together. I said, "There's no assembly required. It just unfolds." She replied, "Well, it was acting weird." Please talk me down. I would not have taken this job if I had not been deliberately misled about nearly everything. I am miserable. It's just gross that I have to report to a profoundly rude fool who is so ignorant that she said, "What, a hurricane in Michigan?" when I mentioned Helene making landfall. I tried to be nice -- I really did -- but I can't do it anymore. -
Josie and Kelton: They Have Employable Skills

No, just stupid. You'd have to be stupid to ignore the (justifiably) nonstop media coverage of a massive natural disaster. I had a thought that either the Tesla was repossessed, or Dumb and Dumber voluntary surrendered it because they couldn't make the payments. -
Nathan and Esther: No Longer Lonely, Still Batesing Along
Heathen replied to PrincessPurrsALot's topic in Bringing Up Bates
Graham Alan. Interesting choice. Maybe they are Air Supply fans. Not like he'll ever go to actual school and inevitably be called Cracker. -
Please tell me they didn't misspell "ceremony" for their ceremony.

Sorry about your childhood, Hailey. There's a Golden Penis in the house now and you no longer matter. Travis looks like a freaking idiot in his frat-bro outfit. He's a father of two, for chrissakes.

Josh is 6'. He's the tallest of the family. I don't believe it's a coincidence that he's the oldest and the tallest -- because he was probably the only child who wasn't weaned as early as possible and who actually got enough nutrition throughout childhood.

So they did actually get married? What a big difference between this wedding announcement and Jana and Stephen's. Congratulations to the latest married couple. Pics on People. I have no opinion about the dress, but that shade of blonde washes her out big-time. The nude lipstick makes it even worse.

She's saying that from the perspective of a fairly newly-converted zealot who thinks that her gawd will provide and make everything peachy-keen. When she has little kids and is trying to manage a household (and a zillion diapers) on next to no money with no help from her husband or monster- mother-in-law, she might see things differently.
