    I now consider anyone who whines about hipsters to be hipsters.

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    Congrats, man! You gonna stay off the stuff or try to modulate?
    I'm staying off until the end of April, and then I'm going to see how good I can moderate my drinking. I'd like to be able to enjoy a good beer now and then, but the Dr. did tell me that some people with the risk of high blood pressure can be especially susceptible to the negative effects of alcohol.

    I have been enjoying wine more, and that does not seem to have a negative impact on me.

    I definitely won't be drinking beer almost every night like I had been.

    Anybody who whines about hipsters whining about hipsters are just as bad as whiners who whine about hipsters and hipsters.

    This is a truly great news article. Like, if I had become a journalist, it would have been solely hoping that this event would happen and I could write about it: Woman shot by oven while trying to cook waffles
    ...and the milk's in me.

    You can tell just by looking at him that he's probably into Asian cinema and outlying musical genres.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Duke's definition of "hipster" seems pretty loose.

    I'm trying to draft up 3 letters of recommendation for myself to give to 3 letter writers (people with very little time on their hands find this courteous, apparently) and I've literally been working on this for five hours with about two paragraphs written. This is excruciating. I can't write anything diplomatically positive about myself in one letter let alone three; it just makes me want plagarize what I've already written which would probably broadcast what I'm doing. I assume they'll tweak it a bit but I have to be prepared that they might not. Maybe I should try this in three states of mind. Sober, drunk, and...something else. Or dress in three different outfits and pretend to be three different people.

    Applying for a new position? Speaking of which, OSU never contacted me. I'm (hopefully) being offered a job here in ATL within the next week.

    Wait, who are the these people? Friends? Or some kind of pro? Why would you a write letter to give to ... letter writers?

    Also, if you want a recommendation, I am available. I can do this in 15 minutes, just based on your posts here. :P

    Whoever wrote this dogshit actually got a production going far enough to hold auditions.

    MPH program. I'll probably still be at OSU finishing it the next couple years. I'm going to the EIS conference in April to test the waters, see what I think of it and see if I want to apply to the CDC program after my MPH (assuming I'm accepted into either).

    I don't mix business with pleasure.

    And I'm basically writing their letters for them so that they don't have to start from scratch in writing a LOR for me. They can edit it as they see fit but these are time-sensitive requirements that I'm asking of people who already work 60-80 hours a week. It takes them a lot longer if they have nothing but a blank page. This way, I've summarized my CV, made some salient points about myself, and generally done the heavy-lifting. Whether they use the template or not, it's polite to offer it to them and an easy motivator.

    Thanks for the offer, but I don't want to know what adjectives would be used to describe me based on my posting history. One is supposed to request letters of people if you know they will write you a good one. Somehow, I think "long-winded foul-mouthed wench" doesn't quite sell me effectively. At least, not for an MPH program.

    So you're going to be one of those people in hazmat suits messing with Outbreak monkeys? Coooooooooool.

    But think of the possibilities! Years from now, they'll make a movie of your life, starring James Spader and Maggie Gyllenhal! Charlotte Rampling could play your Mom! And they'll call it THE CONCIERGE.

    Whether they use the template or not, it's polite to offer it to them and an easy motivator.
    Ahhhhhh. Gotcha. Makes more sense now.

    "long-winded foul-mouthed wench"
    Don't sell yourself short. I've never found you foul-mouthed. :|
