Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There was another terrible quote from that book on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me this weekend, too.

Grrr...

Why must cow-orkers forward me e-mails based on an urban legend so well know that it has, in fact appeared in the movie 'Urban Legends'. I was to send everyone a snopes email, but it is probably bad form as this person is my superior. But really, it is the one about a man getting into the backseat of ones car while filling up gas, as part of a gang initiation.

Sophia,

send the snopes link to your superior only.

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

I want to start a gang and USE all those Snopes things. It would totally fuck with people.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I have to remember to shop at Lord & Taylor more often, it is so nice and quiet in there. It makes me feel like a semi-wealthy little old lady out for the day.

You know what I love? An email from my boss that says, "We really need to get X, Y, and Z finished." And this is the first I'm hearing about X, Y, OR Z. @@

OMG, Lord & Taylor in the middle of a workday is the BEST. I got the best customer service in my life there.

Also, where would a person buy a little apron? I didn't see any at the costume place. I'm thinking I could put accessories over my current clothes to do 50s housewife, tying Halloween into my homework.

Honestly, listening to my friends who are also full-time students but have much more "real" jobs, I'm glad to be here where I don't give a shit. At least I'm not overly burdened with stuff to do.

Le nubian-- I will do that.

I mean really-- do we need to go around scaring the crap out of people. I understand being cautious, and some of the guidelines in the email (like being aware of your surroundings) make sense, but I feel that things like this just lead to people leading panicky lives. it is the same damned thing as the bird flu-- it is all over the news scaring the crap out of people-- they are all calling into wear I work (we give flu shots) looking for the "bird flu vaccine". Now there are about 30 billion other, much more probable, ways that these people could get sick and die-- but they are now just focused on the "bird flu".
