Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
That ranks up in my top two or three favorite commercials ever.
It's funny how it has almost nothing to do with the service being advertised....

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Well, natural gas prices are way up this winter.True. I have the added knowledge, on my bill, that I actually haven't successfully lit the pilot light on my heater yet either. Though I don't think this will help Emily and vw. And it has significantly increased what I spend on candles because I am just people-hating enough not to have called them out for the pilot light issue yet and a few candles a night sort of warms the room up. Or maybe it just looks warmer.

Way, way waaaaaay up. Ours was higher than usual (even though we have a community buying program that probably locked in as low a price for natural gas as we could possibly get this year). We have friends who aren't in our plan who ended up with a gas bill more than twice what ours was for roughly the same square footage house.

Oil spiked and then dropped, and we were filled somewhere in the middle of all that.
But our use should drop a lot with the house empty most of the day, and we set the thermostat lower than it was last year, so we might not feel the pinch. Of course, we're only heating 900 sqft of house.

Oh, I know. I specifically looked at the meter count rather than the dollar amount.
Why the frell is my virtual memory minimum too low? I've only ever gotten that message on vw's severely frazzled (and virused) computer when I was trying to play a computer game. Why is my laptop suddenly saying it?

Come to think of it, my usage was way up, too, in BTU's. I get a nice little read out of the past 12 months usage on my bill and it seemed like I had used WAAAAY more than I did the same time last year. I suspect it has something to do with removing the trim around the front & back door and not yet replacing it due to extreme lack of house renovation motivation.

I might be able to do this today. Sure, we're expecting thunderstorms later, but I like those, too.
Well, I had my first phone interview today. They want someone who can do all kinds of desktop publishing (which I can), all kinds of web content management (which I currently do), writing and PR (which I have done, and could do again), and high level database programing (which I have never done). All for a small medical subspecialty, using lots of medical terminology (with which I am comfortable, given that my current job involves this). And all for about 10K less than I'm making now, once bennies and such are factored in.
I wish them the best of luck in filling this position.
But hey, at least someone finally gave me an interview! The long blinivisibility curse seems to be gone. Yay!
ETA: I now send any left-over ~ma in my vicinity toward Juliana for her interview. Go Juliana!
