Thanks everyone for all the happiness! I'm pretty freakin' psyched myself.
I am also at the library, getting fax numbers so I can get my transcripts and also, my chauffuer's license. Hee.
So now I have to go get my printouts and, you know, BOOKS, but I'm just so grateful for all the support and commisseration y'all have given me during this long-drawn out campai...er, job search.
Kisses!
WOO HOO ERIN!
Last night, I had a stack of things to copy. Copy machine broken. No copies. But, copy machine repair man working.
This morning, staff meeting. Then, ran to make a couple of absolutely needed copies. Copy machine still broken.
I don't think I can express how much I hate making copies.
Heh. One of the "Ten Lessons Learned from Ten Years of Teaching" from my column was about copier repair.
Sigh ... how much am I looking forward to hearing "I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear ..." And tickets to the inauguration are in such demand that Congresspeople won't even take names for a waiting list. On the bright side, people are actually going to be able to stand on the sidewalk of Pennsylvania Avenue and watch the parade (83% of Penn. will be open to the public, as opposed to those who've purchased tickets in the bleachers ... and if 83% doesn't sound so good, compare it to the basically 0% in 2005).
WhooHoo! A KB sighting! whew, thought they might be gone the way of the Dodo bird.
Neither Orlando nor Leesburg is that far from where I live. Hmmmmmm
Hmmmm. Do I sense a
saving er um kidnapping being planned? I there Nov 26-Dec 1.
Gotta love those Mexican scientists, eh?
ah hell. As if the agave shortage is pushing up the price of tequilla enough. I can see it now, they use the cheapest tequilla, so Jose Cuervo will take their nastiest line and call it "Jose Diamond".
I GOT THE JOB(S)! It's all officially official!
Yippee!!! Congrats!!!!
This lay off has been so untraumatic and smooth I don't even know what to think.
Ssssshhhh. Don't say that yet, until you jump job to job, lest you tempt the gods to send down lighting bolts from Olympus and smite you. (But glad things are going smoothly!!!)
ok, I'm so not here. Should be heading into work, not doing a Meara.
I am looking at the "Most Popular" quotes.
Which I can't see! Give, lady!
Excellent.
Okay, folks, should I go ahead and blow $600 on a trip to SF? Or should I, you know, buy Christmas presents?
Okay, had to post this one:
Black co-worker: Hey, how are you doing today?
Redneck co-worker: If I were you, I wouldn't speak to me today.
Black co-worker: Why is that? What's wrong with you?
Redneck co-worker: I'm not too fond of you black people today. That damn Tiger Woods has won another Major.
Black co-worker: Oh, that's all? Well, what are you going to do when we take over NASCAR?
Redneck co-worker: [Bewildered silence]
