But aside from that, she's still completely normal
Why didn’t you people tell me? You know me. You know the way my family rolls.. one crisis after another. You couldn’t have warned me?
I mean I know I should have known myself, but I was too busy being an optimist – it’s how we survive.
Weekend one of our home renovation saga:
Project one status: Incomplete
Casualties: One patio table
Causality: Fire
Y’all didn’t tell me our luck would spill over.
I figured out how to cron, schedule, and change the permissions on the cron… What does that mean? It means I figured out all by my pretty little self how to program my MT to schedule entries.
I can schedule ahead! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!
testing
Possibly most embarrassing moment of my career.
I’m sort of in charge of the electric cart for our part of our division. Anyway – someone in the department ratted out someone else that it was parked in a red zone and had trash in it. Red zone is bad. You see even though we’re on a lot, the tickets one gets are the same as any other traffic infraction, by the city. So we could actually be ticketed on our electric cart. Do YOU want to go to court on that one? I don’t.
So that means I have to go move it. I hustle out there. Only it wasn’t parked in a red zone, it was parked in the personal parking space of a well known producer, who – um – has a show every single one of you has heard of. So – basically – big dude on campus. And he pulled up while I was there wanting to park in his spot (go figure). As an aside, no he couldn’t go park somewhere else. Parking here is regulated. We’re each assigned a spot, and if something happens, you’re out of luck.
And the cart hadn’t been plugged in. So, you know, it wouldn’t move. So I pushed it. There I am – pushing a damn cart out of the way of the big producer’s car. Luckily the producer in question is and always has been a very very gracious man, so I made the proper apologies, and he was very nice about it. There are many producers who would have had my job – yes they can be that bad.
Probably my most embarrassing moment to date. Perhaps you ened to have worked in the studio system to realize that, but really. At least I haven’t screwed anything up.
Second woman says Southwest made her cover up DALLAS, Texas (AP) — A second young woman has come forward to claim that Southwest Airlines employees made her cover up on a recent flight, leading jet-setters to ask: Will my outfit fly?
…Setara Qassim said a flight attendant confronted her during the trip from Tucson, Arizona, to Burbank, California, and asked whether she had a sweater to go over her green halter-style dress.
Qassim, 21, told KNBC-TV in Los Angeles she was forced to wrap a blanket around herself for the rest of the flight. She complained that if Southwest wants passengers to dress a certain way, it should publish a dress code.
This is just so ridiculous to me. Here’s the thing… I think every place of business should have a minimum standard for safety and health. Things like having to wear shoes, shirt, and basic cleanliness. I think that should be given for the health and safety of the population as a whole.
While I certainly think that some people lack taste, show too much skin, dress inappropriately for their body type etc., I do NOT think that any business has the right to ask them to change it. The only exception I will make to that statement is religious organizations with decency codes in place – as is their right as a religious establishment.
If I’m personally offended by someone’s attire – frankly, that’s my problem. Caveat – hate speech on a t-shirt. Indecent speech? Get over it. Skimpily clad? Get over it. But it is very much NOT the place of a business to tell anyone to cover up or get out unless it’s a health issue. Put shoes on? Sure. Wear a shirt? Absolutely. All genitals covered? Absolutely.
This brings up another issue. Breastfeeding in public. Not at issue in this article, but the health/covering up issue brings it to mind. My personal stance… Breastfeeding should be allowed everywhere. I think that there IS a minor health issue involved as far as that goes, as does entail bodily fluids. However, when the choice is feed your child in public, or feed your child in a public restroom, the health of the child comes first. But I do think that nursing moms should be cognizant of the fact that it is a bodily fluid. Most moms I’ve observed (myself included) are aware. They have their burp cloths and such, and that is satisfactory to me. But in extreme cases, it’s like, don’t get your breast milk on me woman! I don’t know where you’ve been!
Anyway – long tangent.
I think the airline is wrong. Very wrong. In addition, they’re leaving the very subjective decisions in the hands of individual employees.
If you’re offended by what I’m wearing or not wearing – look away. And don’t wear it yourself. Unless I’m wearing something that proclaims my intent to hurt or maim some person or group, get over it.
What do you think?
