My shipping is cheap since I have both a US and a Japanese address. I subscribe to US fashion mags and give them to the Japanese secretaries. Multicultural workplaces are fun sometimes.

I haven't kept up with it for awhile because I was drowning in polish, but when I was reading it every day, people were super nice except occasionally posting duck nails / the women with three-foot-long nails to  at. There were multiple biters and I don't remember anyone being mean. There was a big debate on taking pre-cleanup pics, but then someone posted their nails with polish up to the knuckle and I think that ended that.e: makeup is an expectation in a lot of office jobs. It's not like you'd get an HR write-up for failing to wear natural makeup, but it would be weird and it'd probably impact the way people thought of you, your potential for promotion, etc.

I got mine from Ace, it was only like three bucks I did my nails today too, kinda messy but it'll come out in the shower tomorrow. I felt like boring old red for some reason  Also pictured: scratches from my cat's Nyquil adventure the other day

When I worked at Victoria's Secret they kind of side-eyed you if you didn't wear make up, but for the past 7 years I've worn make up a couple times a week. No one cares in any office I've worked in.

Once he saw it he couldn't look at my hands for a while without getting freaked out. We had been together for almost 3 years. E: ^ is the logo for your almost like mine but has a mustache and beard? Ps: autocorrect tried to change mustache to "moist ache" and now I can't stop cringing.

They will bring you a battery and install it for free (you still have to buy the battery but it's a good price). If you have a crappy car, a AAA membership is totally worth it. the relative was also 50 foot ant.

detectivemonkey posted:Make potpourri satchels! Or give them to an old lady who you work with and become her hero forever. Or sew some catnip inside and make cat toys. I will buy your cat toys. I can't sew. Well, I can repair small tears in my clothing but not well. I'm going to take the swathes to a tailor and have him cut them and apply them to the Nikes. I might try and give them away but none of the women I socialize with at work have mentioned sewing(one of them writes hilarious erotica which is unrelated but funny).

I remember my american male friend desperately trying to fit into the greatest Japanese women's jacket. That is my husband's favorite mall. It also has a nice watch store where they sell GSX watches, which are lovely but we had never seen outside of Japan. There's also an Old Navy there. They gave us US/JP clothing size charts. (All of the sizing in US so we lol'ed quietly so as not to offend.) I like shopping at American stores here because they always have my size. I can usually wear a JP XL though. And UniQlo owns.

detectivemonkey posted:E: I went skiing for the first time last year. I loved it way more than I thought I would. I am also terrible at most athletic things but was loving amazing at skiing. Like, slow-motion skiing in the part of the hill with the babies. But still, I crushed it. That's great! And encouraging. I'm terrible at sports and overweight (though not obese anymore, aw yeah). I'm hoping I don't make a complete fool of myself. I envision falling and not being able to get up (totally unintentional reference there).

Sometimes, despite the inherent risk of death and the fact that Uncle Sam literally owns me, I am REALLY glad that I have this job. My promotion has been completely performance based (IE scantron tests) for years.

Crow Jane posted:Tall enough that I was forced to play basketball as well as piano It sucks that you had to do two fun things in such a way that made them unfun. I played basketball in HS; I wasn't tall enough to play in college but I still love to play. I also picked up piano in high school, but I don't think I'll ever be good at this point. It has been 10 years and I am stuck, wish I had time for lessons.

I played from ages 5-14 or so and was actually really good. I played recitals and accompanied my teacher at weddings and played at my church a lot. Then hormones/atheism happened and I stopped and now can barely play anything. It's really depressing. You can totally learn as an adult but you're right -- it takes time. With basketball I was never good (I played about 2 minutes in a real game one time). This was also when I was in 4th grade and you were supposed to let kids think they weren't terrible at the sport.

I played piano from ages 4-16. I quit literally the week before my teaching certification exam. I love music, was really involved in non-piano musical pursuits as a teenager, and was a pretty good pianist, but god I hated it.

as far as a resub Av fund goes. I'd be interested but I know the poor girl will get herself banned again so quickly! She has to be the gooniest gal I've ever seen. E: Is there an IRC on syn btw?
