Natter 47: My Brilliance Is Wasted On You People  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

it's good to hear from someone more in the know about what our prospects are.

I explained that, after jumping through all the annoying paperwork hoops, S. is expedited (right?), and that just made my friend even more confident that S. will get a transplant.

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

So is it really Monday morning and I'm at work... or am I dreaming this?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hope everyone is having an easy Yom Kippur. I was shocked at how empty my train was this morning, but I guess it's a combination of people observing and parents who took the day off because the schools are closed.

One of my bosses is doing Yom Kippur stuff. The non!Jewish boss is out too - I don't know why.

I am awaiting a FedExed database on CD so I can do some debugging....

How the hell did it get to be October?

Yeah, I think there's supposed to be another month before October. Someone must have misplaced it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I thought that money was independent of your company once it had been deposited

yeah it is, I just mean co. controlled stuff.

Let's not forget to divide the blame equally between greedy companies and compliant congressmen/women.

oh, absolutely. And in my dad's case, you can also throw in current employees - cause they sold out the retirees and ok'd the co. dumping retiree pensions. I think that may be the worst thing for my dad. He was an elected union rep for the employees and then volunteered for probably 10 years.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Ugh, msbelle. That is so shitty. It makes me terrified for my dad. He's 66 years old and on a company pension since retiring four years ago. Without the pension he and my mom would be in serious trouble. I hope your parents can figure something out (if they own their own home, I'd check into a reverse mortgage.)

DH still has a pension, but the insurance industry isn't so quick to underfund annuities. It just looks bad. But we're not counting on it being there when we retire and saving on our own.

What is even happening?

Step off October, people. It's one of your premier months: colorful foliage, low-stress holidays, little-to-no need for either air conditioning or heat, and actual air in the air.

I think October has been ruined for me, ever since Carl Rove promised an October Surprise.

IOSomewhatRelatedN, transcript of Bob Woodward's interview on 60 Minutes, talking about his book State of Denial. Interesting stuff....
