Good lord -- I am again reminded that I don't understand how ita functions, due to being in and out of bed all morning with a migraine. I'm not sure if the nausea is from the headache or the drugs, but it was a bonus I was not looking for.

Sophia, your bosses are nuts.

Hi, I got snowed in during my trip to Lunenburg this weekend, and I just skipped 500+ messages. How is everyone?

Thanks Matt!

Is anyone familiar with this site?

It looks to be inexpensive, although I might have to sell my soul to the devil to get these prices.

I just don't understand how my department (nursing entreprenuership), which is supposed to insubate business until they are ready to be on their own, seems to display a complete ignorance of standard publishing (and might I also add marketing) practices.

Your bosses need to be beaten, and then to be shown the court cases where law firms paid millon-dollar copyright fines for photocopying whole books and newsletters.

It's amazing when lawyers don't understand the concept of copyrights, isn't it? My old department had a two-year battle when one of the lawyers who was editing a book decided to lift an article whole-cloth and republish it in our product. Of course, the lawyer who was the original author saw it and immediately filed a lawsuit. Unfortunately, the employee who was stupid enough to do this had already been fired for being stupid about using her phone for personal calls (she was on the phone for about 7 hours of her 8-hour workday, and called friends across the country). The guy ended up settling after more than a year of legal wrangling.

So, in light of our conversation a while back, Sheryl Crow is on today's Ellen, and Ellen brought up the breakup, and Sheryl was basically like, "Well, you live your life in the public eye, and that's how it goes."

sophia, try photo morgue.

Corbis, ptui! t /obligatory competitor link response

I am losing my everloving mind today.

I've got scripts doing things independently of it, you know, being told to.

So if computers achieve intelligence and take over the world and kill all the humans or turn them into slaves or something? Today is the day it started, I'm really sorry and blame NASA.

goes back to cursing at the computer and searching through 10 year old code...

Cheers, Buffistas!

Oh my dog. I haven't even skimmed. I've gone directly to skipping because I'm several thousand posts behind. Hi! Good thoughts to them as needs 'em. I hope I manage to keep up again. I've gotten so used to being on relatively dead boards that I hardly remember what it's like to have to scramble to keep up.

Got an icepack on the left arm today as the RSI is acting up. Hope my CMT will be available tonight. Almost glad to be back at work because I have such a hard time being productive at home. So, even though I'm underpaid and my job bores the crap outta me, I'm weirdly upbeat about being here.
