Something I learned today

This week I have learned some things!

I learned that when people no longer understand the code written at your job it is a bad thing.

I learned that the guy [livejournal.com profile] jonpants was talking about is not a myth and does really exist and did eat 3 pounds of sour cream all at once and tell people about his anal leakage and oral herpes and it's all true, just like they said, and HOLY GOD HOMPH HOMPH

I learned that I shouldn't pretend that I can deal with someone socially when I can't; I should just say it isn't working and even be rude! In person! Instead of just being pleasant and burning up inside.

I learned that an "asterism" is a perceived object in the stars that isn't one of the true constellations but is named and known, like the Big Dipper.

I learned once again that my negative perceptions of my life are unfortunately almost always correct. But just almost always.

I learned that the cat can pop the screen out when she wants to go kill another cat outside.

Why would I make a story like that up?

I ate several spoonfulls of sour cream last night--but it was less of a "how much plain sour cream can I eat and then leak" and more of a medical thing ("my mouth is on FIRE I should not have combined four different flavors of Tabasco sauce").

By the way...garlic tabasco sauce: good, good, good!

May I recommend not taking the Stimpy Approach by popping said socially unacceptable person in the snoot? =)

In the last year, I've learned that no matter how weird or badly I am dressed, if I am playing tuggy on the leash with my dog, everyone loves us.

I have learned that the weatherman LIES.
