What to do... what to do....

Buy me a Nano, evidently.

Can someone tell my father that if "Call me back as SOON as you get a chance -- I need to know when you're in town so I can come visit!" will do, don't leave two messages like "Call me back immediately. On my cell. It's urgent."

Kee-rist.

Speaking of new technology, a backpack that generates power from walking.

I get to leave an hour early today. Also, I found out that the downtown Chicago Apple store has iPod Nanos in stock.

What to do... what to do....

Meet me there and buy me a Nano!

hey ita, do the clings you have for you iPod come off cleanly?

Dunno. Never tried. Yours was messy, huh?

My 25-person department has cleared out of the building, except for maybe three of us. I'm thinking about taking off sometime in the next hour, even though it is an hour early. I've been working late this whole week, anyway, damnit!

So I've got a couple of questions I'm almost positive I know the answers to, but I don't want to find out I forgot something stupidly. First, there is no integer whose square is 3, right? And also, there's no integer whose square is less than zero?

(Cause sqrt3 and i are not integers. Right. I know that, I just get nervous when "this is the empty set" is the answer to two questions in a row.)

Maybe he'll be moved out of FEMA in a promotion or something.

Would coordinating Secret Service protection for the president be a step up?

I think you are on pretty solid footing there Emily.

It's like getting into a car again after a couple years worth driving. You know there's part of you that can do this without thinking, but until it wakes up you spend some time going, "Now, did I take off the parking brake? Did I check all the mirrors? Wait, how many mirrors are there again? Did I take off the parking brake?"

Oh dear. Now he wants me to prove cardinality of power sets. It's the first week! Can't you take it a bit easy?
