I would attempt to make a jump like that only if I were being pursued by orcs, Dementors, Go'ald, Two-Face, the Shadows, the Terminator and the creature from Alien.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am reminded of the time I went caving, and loved all the slithering through tiny spaces parts, but at the very end, we had to jump over a chasm that was probably like one foot wide, but I absolutely couldn't do it. I totally freaked out, even after seeing every other person leap over, and they had to escort me separately another way.
Clearly that will not be my freakish method of death.
ION, I fucking hate everything today and should probably stop sending out emails. The napkins in my shoes are helping dry things out, which will maybe help.

All together, or individually?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
All together, or individually?
All together. With the Terminator on a pogo stick, Dementors doing the macarena, orcs in tutus on rollerskates, and Two-Face and the creature from Alien joined together as a pantomime horse.

I went and bought tall heavy socks at lunch. My office was 63 when I got in 66 by 11, and now finally after 5 calls from the CEO, it is 70.9.

JZ, I do have a dresser I need to get rid of. It's not very big, but Emmett doesn't have very big clothes. It's a bit crap (and only cost about $25), so I certainly won't be insulted if you don't want it, but you guys would be welcome to it, since otherwise it may just go out to the street.

In other news: interview over. I was a big stumbling-over-words moron, and my cat attacked and had to be shut in the bathroom in the middle of it, but it is over. They'll let me know. Le sigh.

One slip on the foot and...well, there's probably a reason they don't have the competitions over a pit.
Dude. THat would make the Olympics WAY more interesting!!
A drunk student made the jump, but then fall backwards down the elevator shaft and was killed.
Oooooh. That would make me feel very bad if I was one who didn't fall.
I knew a kid in college who tried to jump between two buildings and killed himself. He was very drunk at the time (and I think really misjudged the distance).
I had no idea that jumping over yawning gaps was such a thing! Who knew?
I'm looking at my 4' X 6' rug, thinking I would probably not try to jump more than about four feet, really. Just in case.
