I'm enjoying my day off tremendously (yay Jewish holidays!).

I really wish we got the day off for Jewish holidays. I've been going crazy this past week with getting people to cover for classes I'm supposed to teach and rearranging a bunch of meetings and stuff.

Todd, I think when they took out her girl-parts it made her a Tom Boy. Or since she's a cat a Tomcat Girl. Or possibly some sort of Kitty Sufferagette. Or a lesbian -- did she get a tragic haircut? One if five lesbians do.

There is a pussy joke here somewhere...

Lesbians with Tragic hair story:

I grew up in a small church in a small town. Two kids I grew up with (we'll call them Joe and Dee) got married and had two little girls and then Dee (who had never gotten rid of her mullett) realized she was Lesbian. So she and Joe divorced.

But they still went to the same church. And both sets of parents still went to the same church. It was very convenient for handing the girls off -- they'd come to church each week with one parent and leave with the other. And Joe and his parents and Dee and her parents and the two little girls would all sit within a pew or two of each other (its just not that big a place). Eventually Joe brought his new girlfriend to church and Dee brought her new girlfriend to church.

The only thing I ever heard spoke about in hushed scandalized tones was that Dee's new gf had the same horrible mullet that Dee did.

I come from a pretty great little town and a pretty great little church. And part of me thinks that maybe Dee was just seeking mullet acceptance. Because in a town that judgmental about hair you do what you gotta do.

It's ok! Tripp is going to announce the successor to Darling Enterprises and the market will recover!!

It's genuinely amazing to me how they manage to take pretty like Robert Pattinson's and make it so genuinely hideous. I'm starting to suspect that the movie's PR department is sitting in a small back room somewhere plotting how far they can push the fan girls. "Yes, yes... it's horrible! Do you think they'll finally admit that it's horrible or will they swoon and squee and declare that it's bee-yoo-ti-ful?"

I think you must have a delay, it's down about 640 now.

Yeah, the stock quotes are delayed 20 minutes. Which normally doesn't matter too much, except for when the market is in freefall....

I just saved our department like $400 and not one cent of it is being given to me. Where's the justice in THAT?!? 10% maybe, c'mon.

No justice! (No peace!)

It's ok! Tripp is going to announce the sucessor to Darling Enterprises and the market will recover!!

Oh thank goodness!

It's heading back up, it may close down only 500 or so.

I am refreshing the times front page every 10 - 15 seconds and the banking folk around me are not amused. I told them it was like a video game. again, no laughs.

Heh.

See, I laughed....

Nope, down about 680 at the close.

I could just hit refresh immediately and see a 20 point change, crazy.
