A significant part of the reason I stayed home yesterday was the fact that I worked every (work) day in February, and I didn't want that to happen again in March!
Which I realize is ridiculous.
Don't kill anyone if you don't have to. We're here to make a deal.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

Sick of dating websites filled with ugly, unattractive, desperate fatsos? We are.

Would it count as "natural selection" if I find the people running this and beat their skulls with a lead pipe? Anyway, I hope this site is a joke....

I'm at the office, feeling very resentful indeed.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Me too. Staff meetings always make me resentful.

Huh. I think my job just got more work. Coworker is retiring. I'm to take over a goodly portion of his responsibilities.
He writes obscure code in obscure coding languages. I forsee having to port a lot of it to perl and/or php. Huh.

I hope they also screen for, e.g., genetic diseases? And ruthlessly interrogate participants over whether they have had braces. In the modern era, beauty has a limited relationship with genes.

Nope.
Well, not more than the usual COL and merit raises. It's not a position change. Just shifting responsibilities. I work on a lot of stuff parallel to his, so I'm familiar with a lot of it.

I'm thinking that the more experience you have with more difficult/obscure languages, the more marketable your skills are, so they should pay you more to keep you.
But I'm not sure if that's true now like it was back in the IT boom times....

I have waffles! I forgot.
And I'm trying to decide if I really want to spend $100 ordering absinthe.
