Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Sorry you had to work today, David [edit: and ND], but that overtime deal is pretty sweet. I'm usually strongly encouraged to make up overtime in time off rather than in extra pay. Stupid nonprofits.

ION, have you all seen spamusement.com? "Poorly-drawn cartoons inspired by actual spam subject lines". Freaking hilarious. A few of my favorites:

Your Managers Don't Have Expertise They Have This.

Did You Know Sprint PCS Did This?

What would you do with your own GPS?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I would probably be one of the last people to go because I'm pretty well cross-trained, and as long as I am willing to answer the phone, I'm indespensible. But, my salary won't be improving any time soon. And I would feel like a traitor if I left.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ack. Sorry.

thanks, Jesse. I'm glad I have a place like this where I vent the things I don't really want to say out loud.

My sympathies, quester. That's a hard position to be in.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm watching The Queen of the Damned. I am really not sure why.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

psst. Perkins is under the curse of the Queen of the Damned....
