I have a few choice words for Apple right now, if it would help? Actually, more than a few.
Thanks for speaking up, both of you. You're right.
Buckle up, kids! Daddy's puttin' the hammer down.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I'm happy to add "Screw you, Steve Jobs"
Right there with you, as I Do Not get along with my work-issued iMac.
this is really beginning to sound more and more like the plot setup for something like La Cage aux Folles... which, if it is, can only end up with John McCain in a drag show.
He'll be sure to call Guliani for advice.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Um, none of you people work for a company called Carat, do you?? [link]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Whoops! Live mics.

FYI, Giuliani's back on the schedule for tonight. That might be the one speech I actually want to watch.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
(FTR, I've said nice things about Vista, even. And I know for sure you guys aren't responsible for any of the things that I have found frustrating about MS.)
I think it is safe to say that even we employees find some things frustrating. I'm just wary of knee-jerk responses. (I would totally use a smiley here if I didn't think you all would assume I'd gone insane or something.)
In other news, did I miss people talking about the new art installation by the people who did The Sultan's Elephant? On the one hand, their stuff is always amazing. On the other hand, ohshitgiantspider.

Dana beat me to it!
I gotta work tonight at the bookstore, so I'll be missing any live speechifying. I can catch them on YouTube tomorrow, if any of them end up being interesting.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Dana, that is beautiful.

Oh my god, Dana, that is just the best thing ever.
Jilli, I think about you and Plei whenever I hear random EE bashing, and usually point out that from my understanding it's a great place to work. (Not that I hear it much because our companies have some ties. But still.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Feel free to criticise anywhere I've ever worked, including my next employer, whoever that may be. It's all good.
Hec, at the time of your post I had 22 tabs open in this window, and four in another. There's no excuse for that other than poor organisation and laziness. I opened another tab to signup for Chrome for OS X updates, but after I make this next recruiter call maybe I'll go into the PC room and download it.
I didn't sleep last night. Grr. Got annoying enough I hit the gym around 6 and did grocery shopping. Managed a couple hours today--maybe that will put me back on schedule.
