No idea if we'll be getting bonuses this year. There's the whole impending layoffs and possible closure in '06, which makes me thin, maybe not. But if I do get one it'll go straight to paying off more debt.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Suela, there's also European Sleep Works in Berkeley. My dad has one of their mattresses in his guest room and it's incredibly comfortable (I had to live with him for a year due to a stoopid fire in my old apartment building, so I speak from deliciously sleepy experience), so much so that my baby brother and his partner (now officially his husband, as of 21 1/2 hours ago, woot!) spent their first big bonuses on having one custom-made and shipped to them in Boston, because they couldn't find anything half so good on the east coast.

Why Monday's Daily Show was a repeat.
Ack. I was wondering what that memorium at the end of the show was about. When Jon started talking, I was sure it was going to be for Richard Pryor, but now I understand.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Genreally a latte means esspreo strenght coffee with steamed milk. in roughtly a 50/50 mix.
Around here a chai latte means a spiced tea with milk- once again the tea brewed is really strong. Most coffee places use a presweetened concentrate.
If you are looking for a basic chai - like my friends from india make:
take a teabag or teaspoon of strong tea.(per cup) dump it in a pan with water ( 6 onc per cup) - boil. add milk( I usually use 4 onc per cup) Heat. If you are going to use the spice they go in before the milk - the simplest form is cardamom ( whole). but there are more complex reciepes out there.
Given the hours your DH works, Beth, that's insane
yup. though I will say that on the whole there is a lot less voluntary overtime now. It usually only happens if a client is in need now

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
A cafe latte is a shot or two of espresso with steamed milk and foam (just a little foam = latte, lots of foam = cappuchino).
I know nothing about tea lattes.
[eta:
Technically, if it's a 50/50 mix, it's a cafe au lait. A latte is mostly milk.]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Most coffee places use a presweetened concentrate.
Coffee bean does not, bless them. They brew.

Excellent. Thank you. I will do this at home. I also sent a whiny e-mail to the Coffee Bean folk complaining about their pervasive sweetness. I'm having that sort of day.
