Okay, I so need to get off my butt. I actually have stuff to do today and yet, here I sit in my jammies drinking iced coffee and surfing the 'nets.
Now that I have publicly acknowledged that, I will go shower and get dressed.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

My theory is that once the movers have seen what's under my refrigerator, they won't be fazed by a stain on my mattress.
Congratulations, Bastet. That's very ingenious. Most cats just crawl under the brake to kill people.

Jilli, your Yahoo interview is really nice. I love reading you talk.
Hee! Thank you. I tried really hard to make my responses to the interview sound like me, and not necessarily be in the Lady of the Manners voice.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Note to Companies: When touting your "excellent" benefits on your website? Having the fact that there's coffee in the breakroom on there makes it look like you're scrambling for nice things to say. Which makes it sound like your benefits aren't so "excellent". Even if they are.

But, meara, maybe it's one of those fancy, schmancy new coffee makers that makes fresh, individual cups!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah! And maybe it uses water from the Fountain of Youth!

Y'know, when I first started at my last company, the new individual-pod coffee maker was Big News. And it was yummy. But we broke it, probably because it wasn't meant for such heavy use. And the next kind they got was not nearly so yummy. It was very sad....but didn't make a difference in terms of if I wanted to work there or not! (Maybe it made a difference in my caffeine addiction, or lack thereof. Or money spent at Starbucks...)

The big plus about this job (where I used to temp frequently back in my temping days) is that they have a subsidized cafeteria.
So I just made use of their sandwich bar: whole wheat bread, big scoop of tuna, mayo, mustard, tomato, lettuce, onion. $2.22.
This same sandwich costs about $5 at the Starbucks downstairs.
The best, though, is their hofbrau line. Different featured roast every day: ham, turkey, roast beef. Every once in a while they do a lamb and it makes the best sandwich ever.
