Jilli, are folks there excited that Gates is gonna be on The Daily Show tonight?
I haven't heard any excited mutterings, but I'm kinda reclusive at work, so I may be very far out of the loop.
I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Do people there generally like Gates? Proud of him? Indifferent? Fear him? Hate?

Do it today, you don't have to do it in future. Get it all done at once!
There is that. I'll just have to remember to hide the iPod before I go to the party/keynote speech thing.
Along those lines: at a birthday party this weekend, I was introduced to someone who said "Oh, I've heard about you! You're that goth girl who works at the Evil Empire! my cousin works there; he told me about seeing you around."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Vaguely proud with a side of "Huh", I think. Most of us worker bees are so far removed from him that he's just kinda like the weather to us.

Yes, we liked the show quite a bit when it was called "Angel."
At least the article's writer wasn't blind to the irony.

Cons: interacting with other people who work here, which would probably involve a lot of the "I'm not in costume, these are my everyday clothes" -type of conversation.
just smile and clean your fingernails with a knife. They'll get the hint.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
