Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Happy Birthday, Franny! Such a big girl!

'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"

Hippo birdies, Franny!

I'm not impressed with Monster.com -- it's gotten me three offers for phone interviews, one with a woman whose accent was too thick for me to understand (that was a phone mail), and two offers to interview for a Financial Services Representative (!) with MetLife???!!!???

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday to Franny! And I forgot yesterday, but a happy belated one to bon bon as well.

I've heard that before -- that you'll get all kinds of random offers to be a salesperson, regardless of your actual resume.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, that's my experience. And that you get a lot of calls from Indian recruiters with very heavy accents.

Theo, you probably already know this, but make sure to edit your Monster resume every few days. You don't even have to change anything, but doing so keeps your resume at the top of the pile.

Coding and Sleeping

Happy Birthday Franny!

My kids were both being cute yesterday. My daughter and another girl in her class decided they were best friends while riding home on the bus. While doing a water surface tension experiment, my five year old son insisted that we needed a control. He already wants to make sure his experiments have proper controls, what can be better than that?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Happy Birthday, Franny!

Gud, your kids are big with the cute (and smart)!

Doublepostitis strikes again!

What can we do to eradicate this condition?

And I think either my kitties are too antique to get maximum enjoyment from the crack pad or I need to add more kitty crack to the pad. (My kitties mostly lie on it. They are 15 and almost 14.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

And Happy Belated Birthday bonbon -- I hope you did it up right.

I think I did it wrong, since all I did was go to dinner and sit in my new chair. But that's ok. Thanks guys for the wishes!
