The governments say “If you’re not doing anything wrong, you shouldn’t have anything to hide.” If that’s true, shouldn’t the governments declassify everything?
July: In the Spotlight
Every now and then there were those few that still appreciated ol’ Roc. That made me feel wanted, and feeling wanted is always a good feeling. It doesn’t matter who you are, receiving the validation of your peers for the efforts you make is always encouraging. Continue reading
OOC: Super Awesome Super Healthy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Goodbye Cookies for Marcus
“OMG these are good, Steph.” I said, completely overwhelmed with emotion on my last day at TAG Idea Revolution. You wouldn’t have known it had you worked with me. I had always been the full wall of professionalism in all I did. Well, ok, maybe I had started out that way and slowly devolved to half wall with many of my coworkers, but still I was known for my black and white view on things, my adherence and love of process, and my professionalism. That, and causal Friday Superman TShirts. Continue reading
Back in Time
There are times when I’ve had no choice but to sit back in sheer amazement at the universe we live in.
Tales from the Hole: Failed Logic
Roc’s Rule #518
It’s not rude to say what everyone else is thinking.
Skinny
While most of our Monday sessions together have dealt with overweight individuals looking to lose weight, reduce fat percentage, educate themselves on proper nutrition and exercise form, or even how to maintain mental discipline and toughness, a few shy folk have taken the plunge and emailed me directly from the other end of the spectrum.
No matter how much I eat, I can’t gain weight.
Firstly, shut the hell up. All of us fat people out here don’t care about your sob story. I’m too skinny. Boo freakin’ hoo.

The New Home of the Banters
It’s not here, and that’s ok.
I am thankful to Kirith Kodachi for taking on the role of Blog Banter custodian. I know he’ll do an incredibly good job of it.
As a side rant, am I the only WordPress blogger that simply cannot leave comments on some Blogger blogs? Seriously. Some of these blogs have the option for Name/URL so I can just put in my name and continue on. Others don’t have that option so I try using my WordPress credentials but it always fails. It’s infuriated me for well over a year. I’ve tried different machines, different browsers, all yielding the same result. It makes me feel crippled and selfish as I can’t do something as simple as leave a comment on Kirith’s blog directly so instead end up making a post of my own. I must appear so vain at times.
All I wanted to comment was:
Well, all my requirements for a custodian were met: a sexy, disturbed Canadian.
Well done, my friend.
I have every confidence in you. Continue reading
