Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

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 can picture her lying there and thinking that perhaps mosquitoes had been the better option.

Ha! I had the same thought. It also made me wonder, are the mosquitoes really big in Israel, or was it more of a "West Nile virus/EEE carrier" kind of scared. Also, this:

"This kind of thing doesn't happen every day,"

Cracked me up something fierce.

Did we ever discuss what Nutty would be wearing in this contest?

I could swear that Doc Martins were mentioned at some point.

Vortex, I think that's totally appropriate.

Agreed.

I've been up since 2:30. This is going to be a long day.

Trust my rage

Vortex, I think that's good. Joe always scoffs at what I think is appropriate, but I think that's a good amount.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Since Nutty is a sensible sort, I'm figuring she'd be wearing the bear-proof armour that that Canadian inventor came up with.

I'm impressed with the leopard-wrestler, who remembered to be kind to animals...

Trust my rage

ION, my coworkers hate me. We've all been assigned "a box of cases a day". I've been able to do it because a) I'm good with Excel and b) I work fast, but now everyone's shooting me dirty looks and sort of bitching.

So, I'm wasting some time here today so I don't look like such a tool.

Trust my rage

No one wants to tell me I'm not a tool?

I hate workplaces where being good at your job makes people think you are a tool. It is not my fault I am smarter than you dumbasses!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Vortex, that amount works for me.

ita, great '50s vibe in that picture.

Stephanie, as far as I'm concerned you have nothing to feel guilty about. Unless you refuse to help co-workers when asked.

Doesn't that kinda diminish the imressiveness of going mano-y-mano (or Nutty-y-cheetah) on a squash court?

Trust my rage

I've always struggled (if that's the right word) with being the first or second one done with a test. I feel so awkward leaving first. I guess I shouldn't feel guilty. Being good shouldn't be bad.

ION, a reporter just called me and wanted to interview me. He was speaking so fast (in Spanish) that it took me three times to get what he was saying. I politely declined his offer. What the heck would I have said, anyway? Sounds like a good way to get in trouble if you ask me.
