'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.

We are going to have to make so many jokes if you get this job.

It will be the kind of thing that is never not funny, Dana. NEVER.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

It's a twofer. New job for shrift and excellent snark material for us.

I'll have to start asking for your professional opinion when I write anything dirty.

Good luck, shrift!

So I may be starting the weekend off my breaking something at 5:30 on friday. Whee.

And then I go home where I may or may not have hot water.

I'm a bundle of crank.

Holy crap, it worked. I didn't break the thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Starting the weekend off with an ER visit today and ending it with a wedding.
