Nothing I haven't linked about before. Hey, I wonder how long it'll be before I'm picked up by the FBI?

You know what phrase irritates me?
May. 16th, 2005 02:53 pmEven when I'm in a good mood, I mean? Sneak peek.
It seems to me that for something to be a sneak peek, it has to be somehow unauthorized. One must be sneaking to see it. At the very least, it should be viewable only by a minority.
But instead, most sneak peeks are not only official, but they're open to all and sundry. They're not in any way sneaky, and that's just... wrong.

If a job requires you to be able to walk (for example, being a firefighter), you can't go to the ADA about it if you're in a wheelchair. And if a job requires heavy lifting (say, sanitation), you need to be able to lift the required amount to get and keep the job. If you are morally opposed to killing people, you do not enlist in the army - nor do you get to enlist and then claim you were always opposed to killing people. In fact, the army frowns on people even changing their minds about the whole killing people thing while they're still on active duty.
So, if you can't dispense some sort of medication because of your religious beliefs, what's so hard about the concept "don't take the fucking job"? Vegetarians don't work as butchers for exactly this reason.

So, I looked up my old elementary school on a whim. Here's what I found. (Warning, it's a PDF. This is more warning than they gave. How polite of them!) Can anybody tell me what font that is? Because it isn't Times New Roman.
Who's making font choices around here? Comic sans is just that. Comic. It does not belong on official reports. (Oh, and PDFs? Need to die. Those things slow down my computer like whoa. And another question. Who started that phrase and why?)

Oh, and another complaint.

What on earth is it with Veronica Mars and Tiny Text Icons? Those exist in most things (though I don't think I've seen any in
book_icons, which is a joy), but they seem especially omnipresent with Veronica Mars. Ick.
And no plain-text quote icons that I've seen. Lost has those. Harry Potter has those. Discworld has those. Where are the icons saying "Maybe I left a confession on my etch-a-sketch!" or... hm, this whole post is just a cleverly disguised request. Hm. I may have to work on hiding these better. *skips away*
