Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Susan, that's a neat article on regional pizza. I liked that he noted Chicago thin crust, which is actually more popular here than deep dish or stuffed (at least, it's what's usually ordered for delivery). I like it much better than NYC-style, with its more intense tomato sauce, sausage (no pepperoni for me, please!), and cracker crust (why would you bend a piece of pizza, anyway?).

My Esteemed Past Employer used to do monthly paychecks, which I quite liked, since it was less trips to the bank and all. But then the company changed hands a couple times, and they did away with the monthly pay schedule on the basis that since they were bringing in new people on a biweekly schedule, it would be "too hard" for the accountants to keep straight.
All of a piece with the other unfriendly and/or just plain stupid decisions they made (like changing to SAP) all of which cumulated (from my POV, anyway) in my being laid off. Feh.

Things you do not want to read in a memo from your kid's school:
"An individual in your child's school has been diagnosed with fifth disease."
Which I read as filth disease and was really bothered about because 1) gross 2) why the hell would we allow something to be called filth disease in 2008.
Anyhoo it seems to be a basically harmless untreatable thing, so there you go.

I'm hoping to be able to pay off all my debts (including car) by 2010. At least now that I'm not hemorrhaging money at the pump every second day I have a chance to actually spend the credit cards down instead of up.

Filth disease -- ha! I mean, ugh. Or phew.
Also, I love that pizza article for including the New England Greek pizza! You never see that discussed anywhere.
