Well, if my concentration is pants even after I finish snarfing lunch, I may need that doctor's note to explain my sharp drop in productivity...

I'll see what I can do. Unfortunately none of them currently have any computer-related distress I can try to use as a bargaining chip.

Should have known the Buffistas would be all over the Hunter S Thompson news. Very sad.

Also? One of my two employers is not paying me in a timely manner, and consequently, I don't know that I have enough gas to keep getting back and forth to my other job.

Hey, that reminds me-- I registered for the Lost Party

I see you on the confirmed list, I think you should have gotten an email. Lemme check.

Lee, do you have to sell where you live now, or will this just entail apartment hunting for you?

I'm renting right now, Cindy, so it's not a matter of selling. I'm pretty sure I'm going to take a hit on the rent, since my lease isn't up until July, but hopefully it won't be too bad.

When's the move happening?

Congratulations, Lee!

I'm at work, but most of what I've done so far is to accept a job offer in Palo Alto.

Yipee! I helped steal Lee away from SoCal!

I'm listening to MLK on NPR, his last speech and it's making me cry. I was expecting a program on Ayn Rand, and to be able to get my anger on, but no. Instead of selfishness and cold disconnection from fellow humans, I get unwavering strength and faith and belief in a better world on earth.

Need tissue.

Lee, I meant to say this earlier, but congratulations!
