The new job is getting better
Yay on the right direction, then.
I wish my friends would set me up on blind dates.
I occasionally ask, let them know that it's something I'm interested in. However, I think that in my circle, since that's the most common way for a man and a woman to meet (other than the "Fiddler on the Roof"-style matchmaker), the possibilities for such dates are more present in people's minds, both married and single.
I've got a friend who says I've been slowly killing her because I will not let her set me up. For nearly 8 years.
In theory, I'm indifferent. But her? Uh, no. She's a flaming romantic and would get way too invested. It's kinda freaky, actually.
Grokster decision's in. Grokster lost.
That's interesting, Nilly. I'm kind of afraid it's too late now -- everyone I know is coupled up, as are most people they know! Literally, at the wedding I was at last weekend, there were two single guys there. I am trying to expand my horizons, though -- I'm trying to go to everything I'm invited to that's not my core group of people-I-already-know.
Grokster lost.
Bloody hell. Any news yet on the 10 commandments case (also expected today)?
on edit: Woo-hoo! (the inlaws are gonna be whining)

Yes. Ten commandments in public buildings = bad. With an exception for "historical" stuff.

I know! Weddings used to be such a great place to hook up meet people! What happened. Last wedding I attended, there was one single guy. And he was a hot tub salesman from Canada. Nice guy, but no.
ION, is anyone watching The Closer on TNT? What do you think?

I've wanted to watch, but it's on past my bedtime. Is it worth taping?

Har. That's like the setup to a bad joke right there.
These kids today, they want it all
Twentysomethings being dubbed `Entitlement Generation' for their lofty job expectations
Evan Wayne thought he was prepared for anything during a recent interview for a job in radio sales.
Then the interviewer hit the 24-year-old Chicagoan with this: "So, we call you guys the `Entitlement Generation,'" the Baby Boomer executive said, expressing an oft-heard view of today's young workforce. "You think you're entitled to everything."
Such labeling is, perhaps, a rite of passage for every crop of twentysomethings. In their day, Baby Boomers were rabble-rousing hippies, while Gen Xers were apathetic slackers.
Now, deserved or not, this generation is being pegged, too--as one with shockingly high expectations for salary, job flexibility and duties but little willingness to take on grunt work or remain loyal to a company.
