Turned out they actually wanted a Visual Basic programmer but only wanted to pay Word Processor rates.

Wankers.

yeah, I used to hate that when I was temping. They'd say they wanted a receptionist, but they really wanted an assistant. I would rat them right out to the agency. There would usually be some BS about how the person who placed the order didn't really know what was required . . .

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

After the amendment passed, a blogger on Homesick Texan wrote: “i don’t think it necessarily warrants all the hubbub, or the intervention of legislature to intervene on behalf of the cupcake. ... but then, another part of me is screaming ‘CUPCAKES!!!’ because they just make people happy.”

Heh.

Always Anti-fascist!

Yeah, Emily. I've read IJ. Lots of interesting things about that book, just not 1200 pages worth.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

ION, the temperature dropped 10 degrees. And it's really gray out there.

It's monsooning here right now, and the lights have flickered a few times.

There's a narrow band of storms hitting Chicago. Hasn't gotten to Evanston.

And after this band, there's a wider one behind it.

David - whoo hoo on the temp job!

It'll be good to have money that doesn't come from selling my records.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Bwah! Well done oh Beavers of MIT!
