I'm craving roasted chicken for lunch. Fortunately the Ferry Building is right over there, and I have several options. Will undoubtedly go for the extra tasty with extra not-healthy Provencal style rotisserie.

Nice that in two days at the new job, I've done like no work, and I don't really care. I am the worst employee ever.

Where I have 11 days of school left, I have nothing planned and I refuse to teach anything new.

So, maybe you aren't the worst employee ever. Though you are in contention.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had some damn fine roast pork for lunch, along with a weird plantain/ground beef/american cheese thing and some yellow rice and salad. It was free.

Is an hour and a quarter before show time early enough to get to Batman tonight?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Hec, it's not the plastics, it's the plasticizers.

Phthalates! Dead!

(btw, phthalates are what makes new cars smell like they do.)

I'm actually not doing so bad, considering the start-of-job bullshit. No computer, person with all the information I need forgot I was here, no computer again, etc., etc. AND I've done enough prep work that I can come in on Tuesday, bust a move and come up with something that looks impressive already.

So there.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

In contrast, certain men (and women) are getting bigger balls.

Obviously the rise in the use of plastics in this century is responsible for women getting the vote, the feminist movement, and metrosexuals.

ION, they are going to drill some big holes through the concrete walls in our office next week. Guess who gets to pack up the material from the two carrells affected, since both occupants are out of town? Yes, your fair heroine. One of the occupants is in a hot race for messiest desk in the building. I am tempted to just recycle the mountain o' paper so arrives back from vacation to a bare desk. But I suspect I lack sufficient chutzpah.
