The second half of season 7 of Mad Men.

Fuck you, Matthew Weiner. Fuck you.

My operations manager decided that for the remaining month that I'm at my building, he wants me to take on this huge project involving managing 150 associates, problem solving a broken process, clean up what the broken process has done, and initiate a plan for it to not happen again while I'm gone.


What in the fuck.

Is that a particularly bad burger king?

It is now.

Wut?

People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.

You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.

Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.

You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.

A Virginia woman says she is devastated after her dog died when he was accidentally left in a heated drying cage by a groomer at Petco.

An assistant manager at the Petco where Colby died told Marks that the dog's groomer left to attend a graduation ceremony.

The heat in the cage was supposed to turn off automatically after 15 minutes. But the vet said Colby's body temperature was still 105 degrees more than an hour after he died.

Utterly terrible...

Wondering if I should wear a suit and tie when I meet Rand Paul and then I remember my suit probably doesn't even fit with the weight I've put on lately :/

I shook hands with Jimmy Carter once, he was just a guy. I've chatted with local politicians on occasions, they were just people. Do you wear a suit when you go to a local town meeting? Rand Paul is just some guy. Just wear what you usually wear.

Oh, and here I was thinking he was a lizardman.. of course he is just a guy. And I don't go to local townhall meetings.
