heh.
Not only do we not get Friday off, but I have to work Saturday. For values of work that equal training.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Oh, adventures in email: my officemate just forwarded me an email accidentally sent to all the first-years...a long string where a first-year talks to his fiancee about which first-years should be invited to their engagement party. I guess there's one way of finding out...

I'm thinking of taking Friday off for my birthday (which is Thursday, but I'm not thinking of taking Thursday off), but I'm not sure I can because AnotherAlaskan is out of town and I have another co-worker with the same birthday as me who has already put in for Friday off. Still, I'm happy with today.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
msbelle, how nerve-wracking. You are so FIT for parenthood, although I have to admit right now I'm ambivalent on the subject. I'm still too tired to function properly and hence am not really advocating parenting, but then I think about this morning. The only thing that made me happy this morning was hugging my babies when they woke up.

Other than all the raw meat we obviously evolved teeth for?
Oh, and all the stuff we cooked using the fire we discovered/invented.
I think they qualified their hypothesis with "before we discovered fire," but yeah, I'm with you in doubting that homo erectus suddenly magically developed canines after learning that cooked meat tastes better.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
There is every reason to believe that proto-humans ate insects, eggs, small animals and carrion with great delight, just as baboons and chimps do now. It's silly to think that they had a diet resembling the one endorsed by the raw food movement.
Some scientists theorize that proto-humans (does that mean "early homo sapiens"?) ate a lot of shellfish.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
You're going to get your wish. They are already growing meat in the laboratory, so we will soon be able to buy chicken created without the bothersome and wasteful bones and, you know, chicken, attached to it. Imagine huge vats of RNA and amino acids, self assembling into giant chucks of chicken tenders. This is our future.
How very Neuromancer.
lib, please pass on my best wishes for AnotherAlaskan and family. Also, Happy Seward's Day!

Will do, juliana. Thanks! And a very Happy Seward's Day to you to, even if you are in California now.
One hates to honor Seward by doing housework, but I fear I must do a bit of that. At least I didn't yesterday!
