    I'm friends with all of my family. I just have a separate button for political posts that is good for conservative friends and family. I don't post stuff on Facebook in order to be argumentative about it, and no, I do not want to hear my cousin rant about guns for the umpteenth time. However, I don't use the button for marriage equality issues--that's too important. Marriage is a BASIC HUMAN RIGHT. I feel the same way about healthcare.

    Facebook games still really piss me off. I mean, I've tried them and stuff. It's not like I'm just railing for no reason.

    The Internet is filled with websites that host games and shit. Why do people need to play games on Facebook? Shit.

    Holy Marie, Mother of the FSM. What the hell is going on?
    Sleeping Coordination Cat rolled over and fell off the top shelf of the computer desk, onto the sleeping form of Fraidy Cat. Fraidy Cat ricochets off Computer monitor, causing Coordination Cat to land a whole leg into my full pint glass of Abita Strawberry. The steam cleaner kept leaking while I cleaned the carpets and then the air conditioner started to malfunction. I got a fifth piece of glass in my foot since a bottle of tea slipped out of my purse onto the kitchen floor yesterday, despite having swept and vacuumed the entire floor twice, and mopped once. My husband isn't here, Angry Uterus is waking up, and I'm BITCHY.

    Give me my goddamn So Delicious German Chocolate coconut milk "ice cream," another beer, and Game of Thrones NAO. I only wish I could punch Joffrey. Maybe I'd feel better.

    A week? Is it consistent or is it a constant headache? Either way, time for a physical with the GP. Just saying.

    I have to be about 175 miles from here by 7:15am tomorrow.

    That's not going to be fun.

    Sheesh. You know...sometimes creative writers can be almost as insecure as me.

    OK B_G, you're an editor right? Even though your sentence (quoted above) is perfectly grammatically correct, why does it sound better in my head to say, " ... almost as insecure as I am." rather than " ... almost as insecure as me." To me, "as I am" sounds more proper. This is largely because I have been ingrained with overbearing my readers with useless detail in order to fulfill a specific word limit. I have identified lots of synonyms for words that would require different utilization so that I can interchange them to fit my needs and eliminate redundancy because repeating yourself always sound wrong to me.

    When in high school, I needed to make my papers longer. In college, however, they require you get your point across in the least possible number of words and this has served me well over the times.

    And just like that I answered my own question. I should probably not submit this post and just go to sleep like I was planning on because I am rambling on pointlessly in the wrong thread. But then if I did that, no one would have anything to pointlessly complain and bitch about. So ...

    I believe it's one of those debated things. I think the "proper" construction is the "as I," but you will hear "as me" a lot.

    It not unlike the debate over ending the sentence with a proposition. It's not wrong, but many will say it's informal.

    When you ask for my help, I am usually happy to give it. I cannot give you the answer you want all the time, though. When that happens, do not act like a spoiled child if you ever want to be taken seriously again. "Being taken seriously" is a prerequisite for getting any answer that is not a "no". Especially when you are asking for something that would be unique to you.

    Gonna have to have my right knee operated on. The good news is the doc said my knee joints were actually in good shape, with less than expected arthritis... Cartilage shaving it is.

    ( left knee saved for future date, same surgery )

    Your sentence would get a higher score for what we call "sentence fluency" because it does sound better.

    I have a meeting at 8am this morning. I totally had a dream last night that my mentor and I were the only people who showed up for the meeting. It was a bit weird.
     
  17. I hope this turns out to be good news. Your knees have been bothering you for a while now, haven't they? At least you know what is wrong and that there is a remedy. Good luck Cayvmann

    Jist of an email from my boss:

    "I want to get all the sales managers together and plan a dinner meeting. Your May calendar is irritating me because it's too full of appointments with two of our biggest customers."


    Yes, the two largest accounts I handle, the ones that generate ~$1M/wk in sales for our company (and have consistently for the last several years), they take up a lot of my time. I've been trying to get that noticed for quite some time now actually. *bites tongue*
