I am having a good week, and productivity is unusually high. I am getting work done, and I'm about 8 inches into my lacy scarf, which I've only been working on since Sunday; on Monday night I made a borscht which, if I do say to myself, was delicious, and last night

class_worrier made an absolutely FABULOUS tofu noodle soup thing that I would like to eat forever, and which we both agreed is the most grown-up thing that has ever been made in our household. I am making progress towards my Pop Vultures debut, and in just over an hour I am having a high-powered journalistic luncheon with

circumlocute, where we will be conducting SERIOUS BUSINESS and not just having a gossip. Yes. Even the fact that the spending review that may well make me redundant is coming out today, and I woke myself up at 4am by punching myself in the eye, I am feeling good.

So anyway! ANONYMOUS COMMENTS WEDNESDAY. IP logging is off, as ever. Tell me things! Play nice, though.

	there seems to be a trend on my f-list of people starting to write as if we were their adoring audience rather than friends/peers. it annoys me. (don't know if it's anyone we have in common) (Reply to this) (Thread)(Expand)

	There are a couple of people on LJ who annoy me for similar reasons, neither of whom are on my f'list, but whose journals I occasionally visit just to annoy myself... (Reply to this) (Parent)

I am becoming a bit worried about my taste in boys (and I mean boys, not men). Why am I finding boys like Rupert Grint, Shia LeBeouf and one of the members of McFly attractive? They are babies! (But hopefully all over the age of 18, or I will feel sick). Perhaps it is my quarter-life crisis or something, but I'd like it to stop please. Need to like more manly men, like...um...Sean Bean or somebody.

	Rupert Grint is 19, and Shia LaBeouf (whom I'd never heard of) appears to be 21, according to imdb, so you're safe. Not sure about the member of McFly, though. I have lost any respect I may ever have had for Sean Bean thanks to the frankly execrable-looking Beowulf. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)

	I know! I was looking at the pics in your latest entry and realising that the flat is going to look TOTALLY DIFFERENT from when I was there, omg.

	I'm with you on the last two, though I think the monogamy thing varies so much depending on how people are wired. I could deal with non-monogamy in the sense of an open relationship, I think, but polyamory holds no appeal for me whatsoever, quite aside from the fact that I can't imagine having the time to maintain multiple meaningful relationships.

	What's wrong with knee-length shorts? I bought some yesterday, in some lovely woolly kind-of-denim-but-not-really material, with a belt, and they are wonderfully comfortable and they show off my legs. So why does my boyfriend think they look ridiculous? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I got offered a job back in October and accepted it, filled in all the forms for a medical check and a CRB etc (the job involves children), but I've still heard absolutely nothing about when I'm starting or what hours I'm working, despite leaving several messages at New Job HQ. Is this standard practice or is it rubbish? (Reply to this) (Thread)(Expand)

	yiskah 2007-11-14 12:32 pm UTC (link)
	No, that's definitely rubbish! Unless it's public sector, in which case it's possibly standard practice. Sigh. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)

	We've got chocolates at work that have cheese and fennel and balsamic vinegar in. They are 'gourmet' apparently. I am not having one because this all seems very wrong. (Reply to this) (Thread)(Expand)

	ultraruby bought me and class_worrier some posh chocs for our anniversary that were gourmet, with things like strawberry and black pepper, and chilli in them, and I initially feared them a little but they turned out to be LOVELY. Perhaps yours will be like that? Though I would steer clear of the cheese ones. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)
