Oh, yeah, plus a feeling akin to the commutation of a sentence.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

I've been at my current company since 1994. I've been in my current job (minus a few job title upgrades that changed exactly 0 of my work) since 2000.
Apparently I set down roots.

Do you get excited when you call someone and reach voice mail, or do you feel it just prolongs the whole experience?
I think it depends on why I'm calling. If I need to fix a problem, I want to reach a person. But I totally have been all "voice mail, SCORE!" on other less pressing matters.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'll have been at this uni for 15 years as of June 1, and with the same doctor for all but four of them. And I need an escape hatch and an added 28% insanity buffer like WOAH.

Ha! Court strikes down Internet porn law.
I am now a wee bit less worried about NC17 stuff on my site.

For me, if I'm just looking for a non-urgent answer, voicemail is awesome, because they can can call back and leave it on my voicemail. Perfect!!
Although I'm making an active effort to get better at picking up the phone and calling people.

This is me unless I am calling the boys or DH. But mostly I really don't want you to answer the phone.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Tony Snow:
The executive branch is under no compulsion to testify to Congress, because Congress in fact doesn't have oversight ability.
That's, um, interesting.
That was in a rather heated discussion that Snow had with Harry Smith on CBS: [link]

"It is not reasonable for the government to expect all parents to shoulder the burden to cut off every possible source of adult content for their children, rather than the government's addressing the problem at its source," a government attorney, Peter D. Keisler, argued in a post-trial brief.
And exactly why isn't it reasonable to expect parents to be responsible for their own children? Last time I checked, that was kind of the point of being parents...
