Meridian. But I don't know what that is. It just makes sense.
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
A lifetime sentence of babelfished VCR-programming documentation?
Wait. I have that. Am I being punished for something I don't even remember doing?!?

I think he should be forced to document a system without a working model, without any ability to take screenshots, and with people popping up every three days to say, "Oh, yeah, we're changing the color scheme. Did we not tell you? You can have this done tomorrow, right?"
No, wait, that's my punishment.
Substitute "test" for "document", "review techinical specifications" for "take screenshots", and "GUI" for "color scheme" and welcome to my world for the last 4+ years.

You don't FF through the ads, do you?
My GOD, I'm sleepy. This is so silly.

I do now.
I just had an awesome work moment, where my boss walked over to ask me to print something out, and it was already sitting in my printer, with the changes he was about to ask for. I think that's pretty much my accomplishment for the day.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm getting the enchiladas from Burritoville today, which are, like, at least 50% cheese.

My sudden attack of "None. None more hostile." made me realize that my blood sugar could probably win a limbo contest. Stuffing food in my face now, feel the homicidal mania receding.

Mmm. Cheese.
I wonder if my cheese craving is related to my wiredness.
No, I don't suppose it makes any sense, but IT'S ALL ABOUT ME.
Wanna nap.

FEMA is still fucking up in getting people housing
Officials in cities from Dallas to Atlanta, which are accommodating thousands of evacuees, give credit for getting 90 percent of the victims out of shelters. But they say they are frustrated by FEMA's record in helping place people in more adequate housing.
"Deplorable. Disappointing. Outrageous. That is how I feel about it," said the Atlanta mayor, Shirley Franklin, a Democrat, in a telephone interview on Wednesday. "The federal response has just been unacceptable. It is like talking to a brick wall."
Even conservative housing experts have criticized the Bush administration's handling of the temporary housing response. "I am baffled," said Ronald D. Utt, a former senior official at the Department of Housing and Urban Development and Reagan administration aide who is now a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, the conservative research organization. "This is not incompetence. This is willful. That is the only way I can explain it."
