PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!!
Natter Area 51: The Truthiness Is in Here
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 just had to send my new person back to the printer jam with no instructions. The fact is, all I know is "open everything up and see what happens," and I need her to be able to figure this stuff out! This morning there was a printer problem, which I solved for her by poking buttons at random. She could have done that!
PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!!
Hee!
The Great Convergence of Buffistas continues! Megan, that's great!
Congrats, Hec!
I've been steadfastly ignoring the hockey talk on account of our sucktastic team and the ugly local happenings with our GM's firing after six losing seasons. Things haven't been pleasant.
I heard about Crosby playing with a broken foot. I'm not really a Pens hater. The only teams I actually hate are the Florida Panthers (in state rivals ! Boo!) and also the Thrashers. Oh and Calgary. I want the Devils to lose because they beat Tampa and because I'm so tired of hearing about Broduer and how LEGENDARY he is. (blech).
Did y'all hear the owner of the Blackhawks is threatening to sell the team if the NHLPA hires someone like Goodenow? All over blog land I've seen comments like "Yes! Please!"
Actually, I'm now on the Eastern Shore.
I knew this. Why I didn't use that information shall remain a mystery. And you should definitely join us for CCRG!
Anyway, get estimates from movers. They vary wildly. If you've got a kitchen, this is a good think to let the movers pack because it takes a professional a lot less time and it means you can leave everything right where it is until the day before you go. Start a running list of the credit card companies, etc., that will need your new address so you can check them off. Check to see if your bank has branches in SF -- if not, open an account while you're there. Banking rules are different in CA, so you'll want to transfer your account to a local branch even if your current bank has branches.
And thinking about maybe hitting roller derby this weekend if I have a car!
Oooh.
OMG. I just heard my boss asking what time our staff meeting is tomorrow. They have been at the same time since I started, which is before my boss started.
Seriously.
Oooh.
Sunday, 6 p.m.

Well, much as I sympathize with people ready for Bill Wirtz to go away, I do think another Goodenow would be disastrous for the NHLPA. I think he was the #1 person to blame for the way the player strike went down, and it set pro hockey back a decade or more in terms of market penetration and TV contracts.
