After this afternoon, I don't even know what intelligence is any more. I mean, it seems like a lot of what I do that's 'intelligent' is data analysis and pattern recognition. I just am better at some of it than some computers (though some computers are better at parts of it then me).

Folks,

the song on Letterman with O'Lielly was "Baba O'Reilly" aka "Teenage Wasteland." It is the song used for CSI:NY

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm getting stupider, Algernon!

And this is why I'm glad I just sit here and giggle. I already laughed out loud about a work thing, so whatev.

Guess what! I HAVE A DOOR! My office actually has a door,now that opens and closes like anything. The door guys just left after a long, loud morning of pounding and drilling and other building-type noises and I am very pleased.

Just make sure the word 'intuition' is in your job description somewhere, and those nasty bitbuckets can never take your place.

For now.

Woo hoo! I forgot until last week how much it sucks sitting all out in the open.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You know, more and more I think that 'intuition' is just experience that you don't notice in the background.
