Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

It's far too early for you all to be this funny.

At my old salary, I'd literally be working to pay the sitter--and I didn't make bad money for an admin assistant in the midwest.

Yeah. This is strike 1, 2, and 3 against additional kids for us. I mean, of course, it can be successfully argued that from a purely financial standpoint, the years of paying all your money to pay for daycare pay for themselves long-term (in your increased earnings potential, social security, blah blah blah blah blah), but in the short run, it both sucks and blows.

What is even happening?

Plus, don't forget the fun filled pregnancy! Granted, Lilly is baby perfection, but your pregnancy also sucked and blew.

move out and draw fire

Yeah, you know when I said that with the very generous salary I've been given here, after I pay the nanny I take home $10/week? I wasn't exaggerating for effect. It's just over $10/week.

I'm mainly working for the psychic income.

Which wasn't so good today. My boss, who is a very cool person, has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. And a colleague's son was killed in Iraq.

I've got Edward Tufte's poster about PowerPoint hanging right outside my cube.

Spidra! Edward Tufte is my sekrit boyfriend!

information libertarian

This is perhaps a not inopportune time to announce that, sane or not, mr. flea and I are expecting our second child in mid-late July. Project Baby 2.0 is codenamed the Armadillo.

Anyway, since Cash is in the home stretch, somebody's got to fill the "pregnant buffista" niche. I am fine if tired and ravenously hungry, early ultrasounds show something not unlike an armadillo, and Casper doesn't really know yet.

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

Congrats flea!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Yay, flea!!!! Woot! More Buffista sprog for the take-over-the-world plan!
