LJ went all wonky yesterday - hope I caught all replies/msgs, not sure I did as not all were emailed to me.

Gay dance club night this Sat.

Went to facebook and got so sick of "Single over 30 / christian singles / single over 40 / goth singles / hot russian bride mamma" ads on the side that I changed my status to married. It did stop the ads - now they're for MMA, get rich quick, and abs reduction machines. I couldn't post and comment very well without allowing ad site cookies - it kept eating comments/replies and saying "try again later" with no explanation. People commented on the status change but didn't seem to see the post that explained why I did it. So, I guess I'm married to a few people who don't know me well.

Edit. Shit. Or good. Just found out two people who recently left my Agency are returning. One is only returning because his security clearance didn't pass, so he just needs the job even though they treated him like shit. The other is that selfish recluse - he worked TWO DAYS in the other area and then came begging for his job back. My problem with him is that he treated all of us like utter shit - was disrespectful to our faces WHILE he was begging managers for his job back behind closed doors. This top-down management thing is a killer. BUT at least the cass I had to take from him return to him, and if I leave and it doesn't work out...I can come back, I suppose. If they don't take me back, he's a great comparison for an EEO complaint. Still, I'm stuck with a coworker who trashes his coworkers to try and cover his faults - not good. Today I intend to apply to 2 different jobs.

Hmmm, I don't see those ads, maybe I just have a good mental filter.

I lack the "commercials" filter a lot of other people have. For instance, I can't stand shopping in malls this time of year due to xmas music - I can't shut the horror out of my head, can't tune it out...it doesn't go away.

Since fixing the rattle in my car door, I don't feel like spending 20k on a new car.

three things:

Firefox. Adblock Plus. Rick's EasyList and EasyElement.

You'll never see those ads again, and you won't have to block the cookies to do it.

YES! This. I have no idea how I ever did without.

I don't think you have to show your relationship status on FB at all. I have mine blank, and I just get weight-loss ads.

Oh! I think I like that approach better. I am still getting notices about comments on facebook (which I can't access at work) because people don't get it.

I like my gettin' it (on) LJ audience bettah.
