I get more and more convinced that the only thing that matters wrt to liking or not a job is the poeple in it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Okay, so, now that the new iPod has been announced, can I no longer buy the old model? 'Cause I want the 60GB, but I don't want to pay MORE for it than I would have if I'd bought the old model just last week, and I don't care about having video on it.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
It's a large part of it. I was looking for exactly this job when I was hunting, and I'm so glad to be earning a living helping people- particularly people I don't think are treated with enough respect, but I imagine it would be very stressful if the people I worked with were buttheads. I'm happy to take a bit of a pay cut to get to work with people who for the most part share my views and values.

Nope. They've removed the non-video one from the store. Although, wasn't the 60GB non-video $399? Because that's what the video 60GB costs.
About to come home.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I keep pulling out more and more throws.
at the moment there are 2 in the computer room and 4 in the living room . there are also extra balankets in the guest room. I suspet that it will be possible for matt and I to have 6 throws apiece by the end of the winter...

Well, that's annoying. I was waiting to buy mine until after the new release, because I figured the price would drop a little. (I think the old 60GB was $379, but I could be wrong.) Actually, my coworker (who is generally In The Know about Apple products) came by my desk today to tell me that the price on the old models had dropped to $300, so I got all excited, but now I can't find them anywhere on the site. bleh.

Kate, try calling the local Apple store and seeing if they're selling the discontinued ones. It might even be cheaper.

It's cold and wet here. I'm wrapped in my bathrobe and wearing slippers and I'm still chilly. I should get a blanket.
