I'd give my $1000 to Tom, it seems.
I came home from work yesterday and pretty much went to sleep in front of the TV right away and then moved to bed at around ten and finished up there. It seems I've gotten one of my wishes, to not be awake between mandatory tasks, granted. I think I've changed my mind. It's kinda weird.
It means you can come visit me this summer and with the free room and board!
Oooooo. Yay me! And that means my complete failure to get out there this winter was all for the best, too.
I loved those little pencil cases with Japanese cartoon characters on them that had like twenty little compartments along the sides, so that if you pressed one button, a pencil shapener would pop out, another button would get you a little drawer holding a tiny bottle of glue, another one spit out a ruler, and so on.
I don't think I'm familiar with these, but now I totally want one.
ita is me.

My favorite response is the non-anonymous one. so funny. (that designer is in a band called Double Dagger. one of the most awesome band names ever. If you're a certain kind of nerd.)
Dear Coworker,
Incomplete sentences peppered with acronyms and your own personal business slang may make sense to your accountant, but considering that she's out all week, I'll need you to explain -- using actual words, not just holding down Ctrl and punching a bunch of random keys -- what it is you want me to do.
Irritably yrs,

I love the word nontroversy. I'm also suspicious that the Sun is asking its bloggers to be more 'controversial' in order to drive reader participation. Which is pandering. and Offensive, in my mind.
Just got off a conference call with clients in Houston and London. Two of the people on the call were in London, but one was an American and the other had a Russian accent. My boss and I were disappointed we didn't get to hear any British accents....
ita, I'm at UCLA for the next 3 days if you want to meet for lunch. or just for coffee. Or to kvetch.
Tom DOES win at life. Seriously.
I want to beat stupid daylight savings upside the head. This stinks.
The big fat 4-colored ballpoint pen with the 4 separate clicky-things on the end? I loved those.
I used to open mine up and shift all the colors one slot over so that people who borrowed my pen would get red when they wanted blue and think they were crazy.
....what?

That is awesome!
(Of course, Confusing People is my all time favorite hobby.)

I loved the ones with the 12 (or whatever) colors even more....
