Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

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

MSNBC on Top of Its Game

Funny "breaking news" headline....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The comments on that post are hilarious. Although I had to pause at MSM, because in the circles I run in, that means Men who have Sex with Men.

I'm not going to be able to work until I hear about the results of shrift's Playboy discussion.

Well, he asked for my resume and in-person interview availability, so I guess I didn't completely screw that up. Stupid nerves!

I don't have my resume ready to send from work -- would it be appropriate to send a thank-you e-mail to the guy sans resume?

Sure -- you can say thanks, and my resume will come later, or you could just hold off and say thanks with the resume over the weekend. Fun!

Because books.

I have no fun plans for this weekend. Except writing. And napping.

Need to know how to do knee surgery? Ben brought this link from school today.

'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"

I have an 8 hour programming class in Woburn on Saturday. At least we're working on an interesting project, a kind of object-oriented programming "sim-elevator" which has random passengers needing rides to different floors in random order.

I cracked the instructor up pretty bad when I told him that every once in a while, I'm going to have a passenger take the elevator to the roof and jump off.

Then I had to explain to several of the other students what a lemming was - they hadn't heard of the animals OR the game!? These were some of the same people that didn't know where mules come from.

Clearly, working in the IT department of a publishing company hasn't prepared me for dealing with the rest of the world....

I think I'll e-mail him. He seemed impressed that I played phone tag for so long, so why not keep impressing him.

Also, I totally lowballed (ha ha!) myself in terms of salary. I probably shouldn't have done that, but you know, whatever.

I hope that someone will announce it in Press the night that E airs the show where those blonde girls screw up the computer system at the mansion and the hot IT babe from Chicago has to fly in to fix it.
