@pandaman73 like I said @1st, service workers shd organize for better pay/etc too! We're in this together. (Vs subjects of books in last) in reply to pandaman73 #
@olyhillary @pandaman73 you wanna read abt people making too much money, try reading 13 bankers, or "all the devils are here" #gonnastopnow in reply to olyhillary #
@pandaman73 to be honest, I was probly doing the work of 2 or 3 people, as are lots of public employees. in reply to pandaman73 #
@pandaman73 I managed way more pages/subsites, provided vastly more tech assistance. (Being overworked was another big reason 4 leaving.) in reply to pandaman73 #
@pandaman73 @olyhillary why shouldn't people who serve the public be paid well? why should I be paid more by a credit union than a college? in reply to pandaman73 #
@pandaman73 @olyhillary that's what I did, altho in some ways it's a bummer. (a discussion way too long for 140 chars, btw.) in reply to pandaman73 #
jhodgson (@poplarware) is awesome. her presentation at one of the seattle drupal camps helped me understand Views for the first time. #
RT @lauras: RT @Dries: Without a doubt, @poplarware is a documentation writing machine. Thanks for all your hard work jhodgdon! #drupal #
@pandaman73 overpaid? srsly? (ask me abt my last job one of these days.) and yes, service industry SHOULD do the same! #
@olyhillary 🙁 yeah, there is the loosening over time. (I have a ridiculously narrow bridge of the nose, too, so I'm prone to the sliding.) in reply to olyhillary #
@olyhillary also, helped when I went back & had them bent into shape. (ye gods my head is asymmetrical!) in reply to olyhillary #
@olyhillary it's all about proper fitting. recent exp buying glasses, the optician started by looking for frames that fit my nose. in reply to olyhillary #
@Oakwright yeah, that's definitely something calibri is nice for. one of the other "c" fonts is good too. (looks in word…ah, cambria) in reply to Oakwright #
@Oakwright font context? (I like Calibri for screen, actually, but not really web-appropriate bcs MS-specific.) in reply to Oakwright #
@RobertAHunter I posted it on the (tiny!) Olympia group on groups.drupal.org. #
valentine's week #ff – @olybuzz (yep, that's my Mr) – sometimes cryptic but always interesting. (cute, too.) #
@emmettoconnell I liked the old site better. cluttered, sure, but better original content. in reply to emmettoconnell #
Admittedly, I do like catching up on tweets & feeds on the bus. #
Stunning sunrise! #shouldabiked #wasn'tItSupposedToSnow? http://t.co/Tr3s5Ek #
@davereid dental fear protips: tv in the ceiling; nitrous oxide. (2nd for srs procedures, obv) also, look for "gentle dentistry" in reply to davereid #

@wsdot might even be two…almost looks like a double! rainbow! in reply to wsdot #
@jbertrand @olybuzz it's weird: I mostly HATED being in Girl Scouts, especially the cookie-selling, but boy do I love me some thin mints! #
@jbertrand pass 'em over here…. in reply to jbertrand #
@mkelley C's laptop is HP, he's been happy with it (mostly). I've had an Acer (nice, broken, long story), Dell (cheapo brick) & the Macbook. in reply to mkelley #
@rshevlin ::headdesk:: I got nothing. some people, srsly. in reply to rshevlin #
@rshevlin so she's being sarcastic, then. (something something apple not falling far something something.) in reply to rshevlin #
@rshevlin does yr girl not eat toast? in reply to rshevlin #
weirdest kickstarter ever? RT @alixito: RT @urlesque: Detroit finally gets a Robocop statue. Nice job, Internet! http://aol.it/esIyLM #
@FinancialBrand I bet it correlates with rate deregulation. (can't remember details, but something in 13 Bankers made me think abt toaster.) in reply to FinancialBrand #
@dylanw the curating powers of the internets is what got me back into the library. http://bit.ly/dbN0Cg #
@jbertrand this comment cracked me up: "Can you use some of the money that Florida rejected to deal with these mudslides?" in reply to jbertrand #
@libbabray chai-cherry walnuts: http://bit.ly/fTZCfD (these are SO tasty.) #
@libbabray overnight oatmeal: boil 4c water, dash salt, add 1c steel-cut oats, cook 1min, cover. am: uncover, boil abt 7min. (1wk worth) in reply to libbabray #
@libbabray I switched to steel-cut with sugar-spice walnuts & dried cherries. Now I swear to $DEITY that I look forward to oatmeal! in reply to libbabray #

@RobertAHunter @Emulherin oooh, even better: that's one of my Fridays off! in reply to RobertAHunter #
Spent morning wrestling w/automodal, lightbox2 only to realize beauty tips does exactly what I want & was already installed. #toomanymodules #
@FiveAcres I've been just blown away by the work that S. has put into it. (I've used graph paper, little tiles, & a dry-erase mat.) in reply to FiveAcres #
@mkelley been looking at an 11" HP laptop…altho getting a new furnace may trump laptop. :\ in reply to mkelley #
@olyhillary @einmaleins I just don't trust the direction they're going. put $ where mouth is & all that. in reply to olyhillary #

so all this app store subscription whatnot is confirming my decision that ye olde (dead!) macbook will eventually be replaced with not-mac. #
@RobertAHunter yes! in reply to RobertAHunter #
@fakebaldur O.o in reply to fakebaldur #
@jbertrand I suppose so. 🙂 love the way they've been responding to it, though. in reply to jbertrand #
@wsdot a couple of my pdx contacts have mentioned snow on the other side of the river. (otoh, here I'm seeing SUN out the window!) in reply to wsdot #
@jbertrand wow…my work account doesn't go anywhere near my phone. (not that I drink all that much.) in reply to jbertrand #
@CatherineOmega yeah, I get where design-by-committee goes wrong. the "design-blind" individual is what gets under my skin. in reply to CatherineOmega #
@pat_ramsey @myerman you might also enjoy Banewreaker & Godslayer. in reply to pat_ramsey #
why do some people consistently prefer dull or fugly designs? seen it happen often enough, there's gotta b a reason. research project?! #

from @laura_carlson on longdesc in #html5 – http://bit.ly/frQI03 – "closed caption" analogy made it "click" for me. I <3 closed captions. #
#olympia folk: furnace repair/install recommendations? #
@fakebaldur indeed. sometimes I get riled up, think "sue the bastards!" and then realize: o shit they made everybody sign away rights. 🙁 in reply to fakebaldur #
@fakebaldur horrifying (non telco) example of results of mandatory arbitration: http://n.pr/gw2iWz h/t @shelleypowers #
@fakebaldur unfortunately, IIRC most cell co's have mandatory arbitration clauses, at least in US. which basically means they always win. #
