I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Slut for the birth year.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Slut for the birth year.

Me too! Whee!

Ann, that's a ferret.

OK. Here's something on St. Maarten.

BBC not cooperating, but here's a blog that discusses the BBC's story on Iraq.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Here's my conundrum: My university is apparently one of the member universities whose students can attend an education career fair on Thursday. However, I have heard nothing at all about this, which is strange, given -- hello! Education student! So I see that Career Services apparently held a seminar, required for people attending the career fair, in early April (at times I wouldn't have been able to attend anyway, because, as an education student in my final semester -- and thus, it seems to me, exactly the target audience -- I'm student teaching during the day). Apparently in order to register for this fair I should have gotten a registration packet from them.

Is it worth kicking up a fuss and asking if I can get this packet & stuff now? I suppose for local jobs I don't really need a fair, just a boatload of resumes and stamps. Still, this is pretty annoying.

Argh, argh, argh. Not leaving my office today if I can help it. A delegation from the Chinese government is visiting the company today, and the place is swarming with extra security AND protesters.

I really think you should.

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?

Emily, I'd say it's worth it. You'll be able to hit a bunch of schools all at once, not have to pay postage and give a little face time. I'd call Career Services and see what they can do for you.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Heh. Jilli, I thought of you when I saw that.

I'm wondering if I should plan on leaving earlier than I was planning on leaving. (I have to be in Seattle by 3 for an appointment.)

Now tagless for your comfort.

Did they cover other prescription meds? That may have been right when it was changing. It looks like, in 2000, the EEOC said it was discriminatory to separate contraception from other prescription benefits. That was backed up by a federal court in 2001, which is what really spurred the change.

Yes. I left there in Oct. of 2000, so I might not have been there for that ruling.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Emily, yes, you should. It would more than likely be worth going to.
