My pay-as-you-go plan, which I think is Cingular now (used to be AT&T Wireless) lets you buy minutes for three months, and they only expire if you don't buy new minutes -- that is, if I know my minutes are about to expire, but I buy 15 more dollars of time, I keep the minutes I had. Now, if I use less than 15 dollars every three months, that ends up being dumb. But I have ups and downs, and don't actually end up carrying huge amounts of time.

I'm on hold with their customer service line--just want to check the details on transferring my number over before I hit the final order button on the refurbished phone I'm getting through their website. (And, boy, is that "we're too hip for the room" attitude on their menu irritating!)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Stoopid work. After not having internet access all weekend (except for a brief email check on a friend's computer) I was too busy to play much at all until now.
Did everyone already go home?

Hi, Perkins! I'm still here at work, waiting for Mississippi, Kansas, and Kentucky to all put their governors' speeches online so I can send them to the editors that need them first thing in the morning. Then I can go home (either that, or wait a decent length of time and then send my boss an e-mail telling her I waited to no avail, and she'll take care of it when she gets up at about 5:00 am).
In the meantime, I'm getting a new cellphone and playing computer games.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
And, boy, is that "we're too hip for the room" attitude on their menu irritating!
Uh-huh.
Reminds me of when I bought my Focus - all their marketing crap was aimed at trendy just-graduated-from-college folks.

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
Anybody watching House ?
I didn't come back quickly enough from the commercial and don't know what happened with the teenage girl

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Perkins, there totally was a question I needed to ask you, but it's apparently the sort of question I can only remember when I'm in a meeting.
I'm sure it was terribly important and fascinating.
Lord, I need to go home.

Oh, on House: rabies shots aren't in the abdomen anymore, haven't been for some time now.

Belated Hi Kathy, since work came up again.

Did it involve pie?
