Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

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

You know, sometimes I need some kind of external motivation to get my ass in gear and get my job done-- some kind of short term, group pressure. Like the "time-dash" advocated by 43 Folders or the other mental tricks propounded by Neil Fiore and GTD. I guess I'm not a lawyer like those ones that work without structure!

Speaking of which, some days I love my job, like how I get to respond to total lunatics claiming I violated their constitutional rights.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

That's like a few weeks ago at the bookstore, when we all got a big laugh out of the mom who went off on a manager about the fact that we had a book with the word "shit" in the title rather prominently displayed on a book at the front of the store. She apparently expected the manager to apologize and immediately remove it, but the manager didn't do either, other than say "I'm sorry you feel that way, but if I take it off the table for you, I'll have to remove a book for some other reason for another customer--where does it end?" She got in a snit and refused to shop with us anymore, and after she left, we all sort of shrugged our shoulders and thought good riddance.

You have to wonder why the difficult customers think that threatening to not shop at the store will make the store change their policy. If it's a recurrent problem, then they might revisit the policy, otherwise, fine, let them shop elsewhere!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am totally cleaning out my inbox and my desk today, and it is AWESOME. I am so bad at deleting emails when they're no longer useful. Like, the email from Monday that says "Let's move the Tuesday meeting to 3, OK?" Still having that in my inbox a week from Friday is ridic!

Just what I've been saying since "Inferno" aired!

HA. Not only has the vending machine been refilled with Coke Zero, but I got an extra FREE soda. I rule all.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

So, what are people doing this weekend?

Also, Hi!

I TOTALLY WIN AT EMAIL!!

in case anyone was wondering.

I don't know what I'm doing this weekend, but I'm pretty sure it's going to include seeing Gone, Baby, Gone finally.

Trust my rage

No fun plans here. I have a meeting about my potential immigration non-profit on Saturday. Other than that, I think it's go to the beach and clean house.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I'm pretty sure it's going to include seeing Gone, Baby, Gone finally.

I assume that's the sequel to Gone, Baby Gone?
