Yeah, it was my boss that gave notice (just this morning, to us anyway, so there was nothing to miss!). I think it's good, but am as ever apprehensive of what the future will hold.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I always love when cashiers scrutinize your signatures, because 1) they never are even close for me (credit card being ultra neat and the slip being a train wreck),
Yeah, I want to say to them, "Why are you comparing my signature to that?"
And although I'm left handed, I am generally told I have excellent handwriting. But I try not to write with smeary pens.
Pen choice is very important for the lefty. I've walked around for days with blue sides of my palm. But rather that than my father's method of cranking his wrist so far over a line of writing that he was essentially writing backwards. ouch.
DNA Paternity Testing Kits On Sale Over the Counter
Identigene is selling at-home DNA testing kits for paternity testing at drugstores across the country. The $30 kit includes swabs for the child, mother, and "alleged father," consent forms, and a mailer to be sent back to the company. You'll also want to include a check—the lab fees are an additional $120. Results are available in 3-5 business days once the samples have been received.
Only $150 separates you from the truth about your child's paternity, although you'll have to pay an additional $250 if you need legal paperwork from Indentigene to be used in divorce, custody, child support, inheritance, or other legal cases.
I'm most touched by the logo on the front, as the sanguine mother holds her child up to inspect it for any tell-tale indications of its true father's lineage. According to one study, about one in 25 men are not the father of a child they are raising as their own.
eta: I wonder if it'd work on cats.... You know, hypothetically, if someone wanted to confuse them....

Women! You hos! That's no way to behave!
HD guy wants me to UPS him my drive. Hmmph. No, I don't want to leave him alone with it if I can help it. It's not that I think he cares (I'm not that exciting), but still. I need better geek friends.

When my sister's GF got pregnant for the first time, I asked her, "How do I know it's mine?"

Hello, can of worms, meet potential fraud.

Why not just call Confuse-a-cat?
Why not just call Confuse-a-cat?
No, I want to confuse the humans doing the test. My cat does not need to be confused.
