Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Punishingly Intricate

This is just bananas:

BWAH! Hey, that's the off-ramp I used to take when my old company moved to Jessup! It is a pretty extreme curve.

Our wings are not tired.

Meara, your unemployment insurance won't stop--temp jobs are treated differently, for one thing. But an unemployment insurance claim actually has a lifespan of one year - dipping in and out of that year into employment situations of the temp variety doesn't affect it. Well, it does affect it in that during the weeks you temp, you don't collect unemployment checks. But they start up again as soon as temp job is done.

Signed, Knows far too much about this thanks to the dotcom crash of 2001.

Suzi, I tried to respond to your lovely and gracious e-mail yesterday but I was having home cable internet problems. I can't make it, but that last Fugard production I saw at ACT was utterly fantastic.

I think lots of consultants, etc. incorporate themselves for tax reasons....

eta: or maybe it's for liability reasons?

both. sounds like you'd be an independent contractor, which could be sweet. It's pretty easy to incorporate yourself, there are online kits or you can buy a book at any bookstore. If you were still here, I'd offer to do it for you. But, alas, you are not.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nice, Sara.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

What is the last thing that made you smile unexpectedly?

Annabel, upon being asked what she planned to do for Leap Day, considered for a moment and said, "I'm going to hop!"

Honorable Mention: Finishing our taxes and discovering the government owes us the Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything. Which is a big improvement over last year, when we screwed up our withholding and owed them $2000 or so.

One of my co-workers has been out of the office yesterday and today getting Lasik surgery, and I just left her a question about some pages on her desk that I printed after applying a Photoshop blur to to make them unreadable.

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

Heh.

Matt is mean....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Does it match your kitchen?
