WTF?!

So I am slightly upset and outraged (and even a bitembarrassed) that my supervisor just came up to me and asked me to remove my Obama/Biden Sticket from my desk. I put the sticker up this morning and didn't think it would be a problem due to the fact that everyone else adorns their workspace with pictures, sports teams, and other various crap. Apparently, my sticker has offended someone and they went to the supervisor to complain. I am so apalled. I can't support a political nominee with a little sticker, yet signs that say "I don't repeat Gossip... so listen carefully.", and Phillies Bobble Heads, and other stupid crap are okay. Now one of my super's reasons was that because there are people with differing opinions and they don't want it to cause a conflict.... Soooooo what about sports fans? There are NUMEROUS FREAKING TEAMS AND NOT EVERYONE LIKES THE PHILLIES OR THE YANKEES OR THE FLYERS OR THE WHO-EVER-THE-FUCK-YOU-SUPPORT.

I'm upset. And annoyed. And they shouldn't have me on the phones right now...

Connie's joing the Circus!

I thoughtI had posted about this already, but apparently I did not.

Here in the Mt. Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia is the Philadelphia School of Circus Arts. Last year I had the pleasure of taking my cousins two children to classes at this school. The girls learned various aerial skills along with juggling and balancing skills. Watching the girls walk the tightrope and climb the fabric made me really want to jump in and try my hand at it, but of course I was definitely not going to jump in front of 5-year-old and say "MY TURN!". (I really, REALLY wanted to, though!!!!) So when I found out that the school offered adult beginner's level classes I was seriously excited. I signed up for an introductory workshop on September 21st for $20 to try it out and if that goes well I will sign up for the 8 week course. I am SUPER STOKED!
