Happy birthday, connie!!!
I was watching on the National Geographic Channel last night one of those "Seconds from Disaster" shows, about a gas buildup and explosion in San Juan, PR, in the mid-'90s. The big indication that something was up was when the manager of the shoestore with the gas fumes accummulating in his basement storeroom started smelling the gas in the store. He had the Enron gas subsidiary over several times in the week before the explosion, and they kept screwing up their sensors/detection procedures so they dismissed his nose. When the building went up, it killed 33 people, including the manager.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That craigslist ad is, indeed, awesome.
If you were doing a powerpoint presentation, and the title of one of the suggested slides was "Who the [Law] Applies to" would you change it? Is "To Whom the Law Applies" more grammatical or just persnickety?
I would leave it, in a powerpoint.
Happy birthday, connie!

I feel as if this afternoon will NEVER end. I am so ready to be home sitting on my couch and watching Project Runway.

I am currently dealing with people who don't seem to understand that medium resolution scans of Kinkos laserprints are not going to have text as crisp as pages professionally printed in a book. You want magic, go ask the Bicubic Interpolation Fairy!

I feel as if this afternoon will NEVER end.
It's never going to end. It will go on forever and ever, keeping me from my comfortable bed and my nappy-times.
Although I suppose if the afternoon never ends, I won't have to worry about falling on ice or looking like a gigantic moron on the bus again.

My firm has announced they would like all support staff to start accounting for seven hours a day.
Mind you, I do about one hour of billable work per day. One.
The rest of it is multi-tasking in 5 - 20 minute incriments.

looking like a gigantic moron on the bus again.
Don't worry, I've got that covered! Just discovered my jeans (which I wore due to the crap weather) are separating at the seam. The center back seam.
At least a) I've been sitting all day and no one has had occasion to look at my butt , b) my underwear is black and c) whenever I've been walking around, I've been wearing my coat which comes to midthigh.
