2 Yays and an OMG! Holy fucking what?!
Work has been kicking my ass this week. But on the upside: OT pay, paid for dinner on Monday (when I was here until 9 pm), and they felt bad they were stressing me out so much, so they gave me a $25 Am. Express gift card! ^___^ Isn't that awesome of them?
In happy yayness, Holly, my bellydance instructor, was very impressed with my handwork in class last night to the point of saying, "OMG! Do that again!" and then staring at my hands. ^^ I guess 8 years of saxophone were good for something. I'm guessing anyone who plays a woodwind instrument or the piano would do really well with that.
In pisses-me-off-an-infinite-amount news, Asian Week published an incredibly racist article in their Feb. 23rd issue. This magazine, which purports to speak for the entire Asian community, had the total lapse of conscience and dearth of intelligence to publish a piece of shit entitled, "Why I Hate Blacks," written by a self-titled Asian supremacist.

Can you believe that? My jaw literally dropped when I heard about this on NPR this morning. Well, that article sure as fucking hell does not speak for me. I think ACU should send an official letter to the magazine.
Asian Week has an official apology up on the front page of their website and terminated the writer. Let's see what other steps they take. I personally think the editor who approved it for print should be fired or at least suspended without pay for a while.
We currently have "special clients" in the office. Special enough that we all had to straighten our desks and make certain we looked all professional-ly today. This so makes me want to run around the office screaming silly songs and doing silly dances. ^^ Not that I would, but I feel like I'm in a little mental box now.
